Discover Ford Trucks in 2026

There are so many changes at Ford that you may have missed some. The truckmaker has increased the number of pickup models it offers. Torque rates keep going up. Gas mileage is kept in check by Ecoboost turbo technology. Hybrid electric models are making waves.

There’s really never been a better time in truck history, and that’s saying a lot when talking about the F-150 and its many siblings.

2026 Ford F-150: Best Towing Capacity Trucks

As the best-selling vehicle in America for decades, the F-150 2026 stays on top by offering features that competitors still haven't fully matched. 

Best-in-Class towing remains one of the reasons that the F-150 dominates. Ford’s light duty truck continues to lead the segment with a maximum towing capacity of up to 13,500 lbs when properly equipped. 

Ford has been the first to offer trailer backup assistance, trailer hook up assistance, trailer blind spot detection, and more. BlueCruise is one of the most advanced semi-autonomous systems available in a pickup. You’ll enjoy true hands-free highway driving on over 130,000 miles of North American roads.  

Pro Power Onboard is essentially a mobile generator. The PowerBoost Hybrid version can export up to 7.2kW of power—enough to run a construction site, a tailgate party, or even essential home appliances during a power outage.  

Industry-First Tailgate Tech is another Ford breakthrough. Even when your tailgate is lowered to haul long items, you still have a full 360-degree view and parking sensor protection, thanks to a Tailgate Down Camera and sensors.  

To prevent overloading, Ford exclusive Onboard Scales actually measures the weight of the cargo in the bed. Ford Smart Hitch measures the tongue weight of a trailer. Users can get this information in real-time, displaying the status via the center screen or even the LED taillights (which act like a battery bar).  

2026 F150 Raptor: Off-Road Performance Pickups

Ford truck variety is another strength, whether it’s the street-focused Lobo package, the rock-crawling Tremor, or the fierce Raptor.

2026 F150 Raptors are the ultimate truck for difficult terrain. 2026 Ranger Raptors have Trail Turn Assist, Active Valve Exhaust, Jump Mode, and Fox Dual Live Valve shocks. Raptor R models have 37-inch tires and claim 13.1 inches of ground clearance.  

2026 Ford Ranger: Award Winning Midsize Truck

The 2026 Ford Ranger has transitioned from a basic work truck into a high-tech adventurer, specifically with the introduction of its "Raptor" DNA. This class leading pickup took home the North American Truck of the Year in 2025. 

Award judges cited its versatility and the addition of the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 option. From available Zone lighting to the fold-flat rear seats to the best towing technologies in the midsize class, Rangers are smart in every way.  

Pro Trailer Backup Assist is a Ford original, an exclusive in the midsize truck class. In the Ranger, you can steer your trailer using a simple dashboard knob while the truck handles the steering wheel—a lifesaver for boat ramps or tight driveways.  

The Ranger Raptor is the most unusual midsize truck on the market. It features FOX™ Live Valve Shocks and a 405-hp twin-turbo V6. It’s built for high-speed desert running, a capability usually reserved for much larger, more expensive vehicles. You won’t find anything like it, even if you look at the Tacoma TRD lineup.  

2026 Ford Mavericks: Most Fuel Efficient Pickup Trucks

The Maverick has redefined the compact truck segment by blending SUV-like maneuverability with legitimate Truck Stuff capabilities. If you check its history, you’ll find various "Truck of the Year" accolades for its value and efficiency. It has been named 2026 MotorTrend Truck of the Year.

Shoppers love the choice of the Maverick Hybrid with 40+ fuel economy and the Maverick Turbo with the ability to tow up to 4,000 pounds. With favorable price points, these truck options are smart buys in every sense of the word. 

The Lobo Trim is a street-performance-inspired Maverick trim level. It features a lowered ride height, Lobo Mode for improved cornering (inspired by drifting and autocross), and 19-inch turbine-style wheels. It’s a rare nod to the street-truck culture of the 90s.  

FLEXBED features are designed for DIYers, with molded-in slots that let you use 2x4s to create custom bike racks or tiered storage. Inside, the Ford Integrated Tether System (FITS) allows owners to 3D-print their own accessories (like trash cans or cord wraps) to slot into the console.  

2026 Ford Super Duty: The Professional Powerhouse

Maintaining quality is essential to Ford truck popularity. So it’s important to note that the Super Duty recently topped its segment in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. It certainly proves "heavy-duty" doesn't have to mean "unrefined."

For many owners, the Super Duty (F-250, F-350, F-450) is less of a vehicle and more of a piece of heavy machinery. Business fleet managers appreciate the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel. This torque monster delivers a staggering 1,200 lb-ft, which is best-in-class and allows for a massive 40,000 lbs of gooseneck towing.

Other owners choose the Super Duty for its more luxurious trim levels. These shoppers are looking for elegant leathers, massaging power seats, and other comforts.
