2026 Ford F-150 price and specs

The world’s favourite pickup truck has been given its first update since the latest generation officially arrived in Ford Australia showrooms in 2023, brining minor visual tweaks, equipment upgrades and a new Platinum luxury flagship.

The Ford F-150 now has three equipment grades to choose from, with the six-variant lineup now including the entry-level XLT, the mid-spec Lariat, and the range-topping new Platinum.

All three trim levels are offered in both short-wheelbase or long-wheelbase body styles for the same price, and each brings a refreshed interior, and equipment updates including a larger 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen (up from 8.0-inch) and a 360-degree surround camera. 

Being a facelift, key dimensions remain unchanged, as does the 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6 producing 298kW of power and 678Nm of torque, and the standard 10-speed automatic transmission. However, increased Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and Gross Combined Mass (GCM) means higher payloads.

The changes are welcome, but Ford Australia’s F-150 is still two years behind its North American counterpart. While the updated pickup is officially called a 2025 model year (MY25) vehicle here, it’s based on the US-spec MY24 model – and an MY26 F-150 is now being released in the US.

This may not matter to many potential buyers, as the iconic F-150 – North America’s top-selling pickup for more than four decades – remains highly competitive against rivals including the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Toyota Tundra. 

Pricing

The F-150 costs more than before but remains the most affordable full-size pickup in Australian showrooms. 

For this update, Ford now charges the same price for either body style, with the SWB running a 3683mm wheelbase and a 1651mm-long tray, and the LWB stretching to a 3989mm wheelbase under a 1702mm tray. 

The three model grades start with the XLT at $114,950 before on-road costs – still considerably less than the Ram 1500 Laramie Sport, which costs $141,950 before on-roads, the Silverado 1500 LTZ ($134,500 plus on-roads), and the Toyota Tundra Limited ($155,900 plus ORCs). 

New for 2026, the F-150 Platinum flagship tops out at $163,950 (plus ORCs but including prestige paint), which is more than the Silverado ZR2 ($144,900 plus ORCs) and Ram 1500 Limited ($159,950 plus ORCs), but less than the Toyota Tundra Platinum ($172,990 plus ORCs).

Drivetrains and Efficiency

All models in the Australian F-150 lineup use the same 298kW/678Nn 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol ‘EcoBoost’ V6, mated to a 10-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. The entry-level XLT runs a part-time 4×4 system with 2H, 4H and 4L modes, while the Lariat and Platinum have full-time 4×4 with a 4A setting. 

All models come with six driving modes including Off-Road and Tow/Haul settings.

Fuel consumption is a claimed 12.5L/100km combined, with a 136-litre fuel tank in all versions.

Dimensions 

The 2025 Ford F-150 range is available exclusively in four-door Crew Cab guise, but in both SWB and LWB body styles.

The F-150 SWB has a wheelbase of 3694mm, and a 1662mm-long, 1285mm-wide style-side tub.

LWB versions run a 300mm-longer wheelbase at 3994mm, and a 1962mm-long style-side tub with the same 1285mm width. 

There’s a 1525mm-wide tailgate opening on all models, with Lariat and Platinum variants offering a split tailgate with a separate swing door offering a 900mm opening.

Every F-150 is endowed with an official 4500kg braked towing capacity, with payloads ranging between 724kg (Platinum LWB) and 878kg (XLT LWB). 

Payloads have increased, following upgrades to GVM and GCM.

Servicing and Warranty

The Ford F-150 comes with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty like the rest of the Australian lineup.

Service intervals are 12 months or 15,000km – whichever occurs first – and there’s a capped-price service program covering the first five years or 75,000km. 

The total cost for five scheduled services is $1968, equating to an average of $394 each.
