There was some kind of glitch because I was just playing around with it for fun when it came out, and every time you selected STX with 5.0 it kept forcing you into a lobo lol. Probably had a ton of glitches

So if I am looking at a Marsh Grey Platinum Plus, is there any reason at all to get a 2026? It seems completely unchanged. There is a 2025 local to me that has a nice discount on it right now, and has the lower destination charge from before that was increased. Seems almost like a no-brainer?

The dream has died.
Finall offering the BAP with a 6.5' bed, but no BAP with Marsh Gray either! :sadface:

I did notice you can add BAP on the 6.5 bed super crew which has 157" wheelbase, even though it says 145" wheel base required. Probably a glitch. Too bad that would be a good combo.

Seems like the PowerBoost is available with 4x2 on Lariat and higher trims only. On XLT and lower the PowerBoost only comes with 4x4. Strange.

My dealer confirmed that I can now order a 157" with BAP. Unfortunately I would want marsh gray and that is available only in the chrome package unless I want an STX or Tremor, both 145".

It's really crazy how there just so many options for F-150s, but simple things like BAP have wheelbase dependencies. I'm sure all of the manufacturing engineers have honed in what makes the most sense for efficiency, but it sure is strange that there are so many guardrails for customization. I suppose I get it from a marketing perspective to "force" you into the next trim level or something, but when you've got folks trying to spec a Platinum...there isn't anywhere else to go?

Rant over... :computerrage:

🤣

Model year 2026 is a shadow of option availability compared to 2022 when I ordered .... the Order Guide had 9 more pages with many more cab/bed configurations, drivetrains, equipment groups, and option choices under each F150 series.

And yes, 'guardrails' aplenty (forced combination constraints, forced bundling, etc) for all of them back then, too.

Has anybody noticed that you can no longer get just a regular 5.0 STX SuperCrew? I have no real care because I love my XL and I'll drive this thing for over a decade and just buy another base model when the time comes.

But I like to play around the configurator and even in the order guide, I just realized that a V8 in an STX truck requires the lobo package. And it jumps the price by over 12,000. There is no more regular two-wheel drive STX with the V8. And there is no more regular STX with the V8. It has to be a lobo. That is bizarre

Wow appears no more V8 in the STX super cab at all. 2.7 only. I don't get this, Ford's making some really weird decisions with this model year.

Is that XLT or Lariat only?
Yes, no XL, King Ranch, and Tremor (only comes in 145"). BAP has been available on Platinum the last couple years I believe.
