Not every F-150 in Tampa Bay needs four-wheel drive. For plenty of drivers in Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, Lutz, and Land O Lakes, the better fit is a rear-wheel-drive SuperCrew with the right engine, the right towing hardware, plenty of range, and an STX appearance that does not look basic. That is exactly what this 2026 F-150 STX brings together.

Carbonized Gray Metallic gives the truck a sharp, understated look, especially against the black and dark gray grille, LED fog lamps, 20-inch dark gray aluminum wheels, and 275/60R20 all-season tires. Rear privacy glass finishes the profile without making the truck look overdone. It is the kind of F-150 that can spend the morning at a job site in Odessa, the afternoon in a Wesley Chapel parking lot, and the evening headed toward Tampa without looking out of place anywhere.

The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is the heart of the package. Ford pairs it with the electronic 10-speed automatic, and this truck adds something owners notice far more often than another cosmetic option: the 36-gallon extended-range fuel tank. When your week includes State Road 54, I-75, Brandon, Carrollwood, or drives farther across Pasco and Hillsborough counties, fewer fuel stops are a real convenience.

Its work side is already handled. A Class IV trailer hitch with Smart Trailer Tow Connector and Trailer Sway Control gives you useful factory towing equipment, while the fully boxed steel frame and 6,426-pound GVWR Package provide the foundation underneath it. Pickup-box tie-down hooks help secure cargo, and the power tailgate lock adds a simple feature you will use constantly. This is not a truck that needs a long accessory list before it can start doing truck things.

The SuperCrew cab is just as important as the bed. Black STX cloth 40/console/40 seating and the flow-through center console create a straightforward front cabin, while the rear doors open to usable passenger space instead of a token back seat. That extra room works for family duty around Seven Oaks and Bexley, coworkers moving between jobs, or tools, bags, and electronics you would rather keep locked inside than sitting in the bed.

Ford kept the technology current without turning the dashboard into a distraction. SYNC 4 runs through a 12-inch touchscreen, supported by a 5G modem, Ford app capability, and a one-year Connectivity Package. BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert is valuable when changing lanes through Tampa traffic or backing out of a crowded Wiregrass parking lot. Lane-Keeping System, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto Hold, Curve Control, and Post-Collision Braking add useful support to the daily drive. Ford also includes a one-year Secure Package.

Every new vehicle at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Parks Plus adds additional ownership benefits, and on a truck like this we would highlight practical protections such as rain repellent, headlight protection, nitrogen tire service, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial treatment, and Stolen Vehicle Assistance.

There is nothing complicated about why this F-150 works. It gives you EcoBoost power, four full-size doors, factory towing equipment, the big 36-gallon tank, modern Ford technology, and the STX look in one clean package. For a Tampa Bay driver who wants an F-150 to commute, haul, tow, and cover a lot of ground without paying for hardware they may never use, this is a very easy truck to understand.

Fill the tank, load the bed, and get on with the week.
