Legendary Ford F-150 Pickup Returns

After the introduction of the compact Maverick Lobo last year, Ford is expanding its lineup of sporty pickups and introducing the new F-150 Lobo — now for the U.S. market.

The name «Lobo», which translates to «wolf» in Spanish, was first used for the Bronco concept in 1981, and since 1997 it has been applied to the F-150 in the Mexican market. Now, this emblem returns in a new format.

The F-150 Lobo is not a separate trim level but an optional package for the STX version. The vehicle is only available in the SuperCrew configuration (four-door cab) and is equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. The power remains the same: 400 hp and 556 Nm of torque. If more power is desired, the lineup includes a 450 hp EcoBoost V6 or a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 from the Raptor R producing 720 hp.

As a successor to the iconic SVT Lightning, the F-150 Lobo features all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case and modes 2H, 4A, 4H, and 4L. The payload capacity is up to 658 kg, and the maximum towing capacity is 3583 kg!

The Lobo emphasizes a stylish visual package that gives the F-150 a more aggressive street appearance. It includes an aerodynamic kit with ten elements, black decorative inserts, a new hood, an original grille, and a two-level LED strip. The rear lights are also updated, and discreet Lobo logos are added.

The pickup features exclusive 22-inch gloss black wheels, and its rear is lowered by 5 centimeters for a sportier stance. The look is completed by visible dual exhaust pipes — a feature unavailable in the Maverick Lobo. Besides traditional black, color options include Atlas Blue, Rapid Red, Carbonized Gray, and Oxford White.

The price of the F-150 Lobo in the U.S. is approximately $4695 more than the regular STX version.

Despite the current generation of the F-150 being around five years old, it will remain on the market for a long time. According to Auto30, the release of the next generation is postponed until at least mid-2028.

Thus, the Lobo might become one of the final highlights of the fourteenth iteration of the popular pickup.
