Overview

The 2026 F-150 Lightning STX was announced as the XLT replacement, combining a larger 123 kWh usable battery with rugged styling and additional traction equipment.

Engine and Performance

Dual electric motors produce 536 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque through a single-speed drivetrain and standard four-wheel drive.

Range and Fuel Economy

Ford targeted 290 miles of EPA-estimated range. A final STX MPGe rating and official production efficiency figure were not published.

Charging

The 123 kWh battery uses an 11.3 kW onboard charger and was expected to charge from 15% to 80% in about 38 minutes on a 150 kW or faster DC charger.

Towing and Utility

The truck supports approximately 7,700 lb of standard towing and up to 10,000 lb with the Max Trailer Tow Package, while the Mega Power Frunk and Pro Power Onboard improve everyday utility.

Technology

SYNC 4, wireless smartphone integration, FordPass connectivity, over-the-air updates and Intelligent Range provide a modern connected-truck experience.

Safety

Ford Co-Pilot360 includes automatic emergency braking, BLIS with trailer coverage, lane assistance, reverse sensing and stability-control technologies.

Latest Availability

Ford now states that the current battery-electric F-150 Lightning is no longer available to order. The company is developing a next-generation EREV version instead.

Pros

  • Strong 536-hp dual-motor performance
  • Useful 290-mile targeted driving range
  • Up to 10,000 lb towing capacity
  • Large powered front trunk
  • Practical Pro Power Onboard system
  • Standard rear electronic-locking differential

Cons

  • Current battery-electric version is no longer orderable
  • Final STX EPA MPGe rating was not published
  • DC charging is slower than newer 800-volt electric trucks
  • All-terrain tires reduce range compared with road-focused versions
  • Announced MSRP did not include destination and regional charges

Verdict

The planned 2026 STX was a capable, practical and more rugged Lightning with useful range and strong output, but it is no longer a current new-vehicle purchase because Ford retired the battery-electric version before broad retail availability.
