Ford is expanding the lineup of its revolutionary electric pickup, introducing the new F-150 Lightning STX, set to hit the market in early 2026. This model, which replaces the XLT trim, is aimed at enthusiasts who want to combine the benefits of an electric vehicle with confidence on light off-road terrain, all at an attractive price point.
The new F-150 Lightning STX isn't just another update. It's Ford's answer to customer requests for a more durable and visually aggressive pickup without paying a premium for top-tier trims. The STX offers a great balance between daily practicality and adventure readiness.

Standard Power and Endurance
One of the key advantages of the STX is that it comes standard with the Extended Range battery, which was previously an option. This provides an estimated EPA range of up to 290 miles, significantly more than the previous base XLT version.
Under the hood (or rather, under the floor) is a dual-motor powertrain providing all-wheel drive and an impressive 536 horsepower and 1050 Nm of torque. These specs guarantee instant acceleration and confidence both on the pavement and beyond. A major benefit for off-road lovers will be the standard electronic-locking rear differential, which greatly improves traction on slippery and uneven surfaces.
Built for the Trails
Visually, the STX is easily recognizable by a range of off-road attributes. The model borrows rugged side steps from its gasoline-powered sibling, the F-150 Tremor. The pickup is equipped with new 18-inch wheels that emphasize its tough character and readiness for any road.

Functional Interior
Inside, the F-150 Lightning STX continues the theme of practicality and durability. The cabin is upholstered in cloth, with "STX" logos embroidered on the seats in the same Grabber Blue color. A heated steering wheel comes standard, a handy feature in cold weather. For those who aren't afraid to get the interior dirty, an optional vinyl floor is available for easy cleaning.

Price and Expectations
The 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning STX will arrive at dealerships in early 2026. The company is positioning this model as one of the most popular in the lineup, as it offers significantly enhanced capabilities and range at a price not much different from the previous XLT version. This makes the electric pickup more accessible to a wider range of buyers who may have been hesitant before due to the limitations of the base models.
