Style, Capability & Value
2027 Ford F-150 STX
The 2027 Ford F-150 STX sits between the work-focused XL and the broader-equipped XLT. It is designed for buyers who still want strong F-150 capability but care more about exterior style, interior presentation and everyday driving than a purely commercial work-truck configuration.

More Personality Than XL
STX Is the Style-Focused Entry Into F-150
The F-150 STX makes sense for buyers who appreciate the capability of XL but want their truck to look and feel less like a fleet or commercial pickup.
STX adds a more street-oriented personality while still leaving room for 4x4 capability, towing equipment, hybrid power and even off-road upgrades on applicable builds.
That combination makes STX particularly attractive for first-time full-size truck buyers, daily drivers and owners who need a pickup but do not necessarily need all the equipment of XLT or Lariat.

- Sport-oriented interior presentation

Who Should Consider STX?
A Strong Fit for Everyday Truck Buyers
STX is less about stripping a truck down for work and more about balancing capability with the things owners see and use every day.
First-Time F-150 Buyers
STX offers a straightforward entry into a full-size Ford truck without making the cabin and exterior feel overly utilitarian.
Daily Drivers
Buyers who use their F-150 primarily as transportation can appreciate the more style-oriented STX presentation.
Family Truck Buyers
SuperCrew configurations can give STX buyers the rear-seat room needed for family use without stepping directly into XLT.
Weekend Recreation
Available 4x4, FX4 equipment and towing-related options can make STX useful beyond pavement.
Buyers Who Want Hybrid Power
Eligible SuperCrew configurations can offer the 3.5L PowerBoost full-hybrid V6 and Pro Power Onboard.
Value-Focused Personal Use
STX can make sense when you want more visual personality than XL without paying for every comfort feature available on XLT or Lariat.
2027 STX Powertrains
Standard EcoBoost With Available Hybrid and V8 Paths
The 2027 model year brings an important STX powertrain change: the previous 2.7L EcoBoost has been replaced by a new 3.0L EcoBoost V6.
3.0L EcoBoost
Standard STX Engine
Current 2027 ordering information lists the new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 as the standard engine on both SuperCab and SuperCrew STX examples.
Ford had not published final F-150-specific horsepower and torque figures for the new 3.0L EcoBoost when this page was prepared.
PowerBoost
3.5L Full Hybrid V6
On eligible SuperCrew STX builds, the PowerBoost hybrid is available with 430 horsepower, 570 lb-ft of torque and 2.4-kW Pro Power Onboard.
Availability requires specific STX equipment and transmission combinations.
5.0L V8
Lobo Package Power
Current 2027 SuperCrew STX ordering data shows the 5.0L V8 with 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque when configured with the Lobo Package and required STX equipment.
The V8 is not a general stand-alone STX engine choice on every configuration.
New for 2027
STX Moves From 2.7L to 3.0L EcoBoost Power
Ford's previous 2.7L EcoBoost V6 has been removed from much of the 2027 F-150 lineup, and STX is one of the trims that moves to the new 3.0L EcoBoost.
The new engine appears as the standard powertrain on current 2027 STX ordering pages.
Because final F-150 horsepower and torque figures for the new 3.0L had not yet been published when this guide was prepared, this page intentionally avoids assigning it an unverified output figure.

STX vs. XL vs. XLT
STX makes the most sense when you want more personality than XL without moving all the way into the broader equipment of XLT.
STX vs. XL
Choose XL when the truck's primary mission is work, fleet use, cab-and-bed flexibility or straightforward utility.
Choose STX when the truck is primarily a personal vehicle and exterior appearance, bucket seats and available technology upgrades matter more.
STX vs. XLT
STX can be the stronger choice if you want the look and core functionality of a personal-use F-150 without paying for a broader comfort-and-convenience package.
XLT generally makes more sense when the truck must handle significant daily family use, longer drives or buyers who want a wider equipment menu.

STX Towing
Build the Truck Around the Trailer
An F-150 STX can be configured for substantial towing, but the badge itself does not tell you the truck's rating.
Engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, cab, bed, towing equipment, passengers and cargo all affect the final capability.
If towing is a major reason for buying the truck, select the trailer first and then compare STX configurations that can safely handle the fully loaded weight.
- Know loaded trailer weight.
- Include tongue weight in payload.
- Account for passengers and bed cargo.
- Select axle ratio intentionally.
- Verify trailer-brake equipment.
- Check the individual truck's payload label.
- Never assume every STX has the same rating.

2027 Ford F-150 STX
Capability Without the Work-Truck Look
F-150 STX makes sense for buyers who want the size and capability of a full-size Ford pickup but place more emphasis on style, everyday comfort and personal-use features than a traditional work truck. Compare engines, equipment and drivetrain choices, then find the STX configuration that fits how you actually plan to use it.
