The all-new 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning STX brings the rugged look and extended range drivers have been asking for, combining off-road style with electric power and everyday practicality. With an estimated 290 miles of range, 536 horsepower, and 775 lb.-ft. of torque, the Lightning STX is built to be both tough and electrifying.

Since its debut in 2022, the Ford F-150 Lightning has outsold every other electric truck in America. Ford listened closely to what owners loved and what they wanted more of. The answer?
