• Platinum: The Platinum represents the pinnacle of executive luxury. It includes multi-contour seats with Active Motion, 20 gloss black wheels, and a 14-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system.

• Raptor: Built for high-speed desert running, the Raptor features Fox Racing shocks with Live Valve technology, Ford Trail Control, Trail 1-Pedal Drive, Trail Turn Assist, and so much more. It is a performance icon that remains unmatched in its ability to conquer rough terrain at speed.

2026 Ford F-150 Power and Capability

The 2026 Ford F-150 continues to offer a variety of powertrains to match your specific needs. The standard 2.7L EcoBoost V6 provides a responsive and efficient entry point, while the 5.2L supercharged V8 on the Raptor offers the traditional rumble and high payload capacity that many owners prefer.

For those seeking the ultimate combination of power and efficiency, the 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid engine delivers 420 horsepower and a substantial 570 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is particularly effective for residents of Walnut Creek and Concord who navigate frequent stop-and-go traffic. It also enables the use of Pro Power Onboard. This system turns your truck into a mobile generator, providing up to 7.2kW of power to run tools, appliances, or even home essentials during a power outage depending on trim.

Towing remains a core strength for 2026. When properly equipped, the F-150 can tow up to 13,500 pounds.

Advanced Technology for a Relaxed Drive

Ford has prioritized driver assistance and connectivity in the 2026 model. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is now available on more trim levels. This system manages steering, braking, and acceleration on pre-mapped sections of divided highways, including many of the major routes through Northern California. It reduces driver fatigue during long trips to Lake Tahoe or down the coast.

Inside, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, ensuring your digital life remains connected without the clutter of cables.
