There is some good news on the price front, with buyers now able to choose from short or long wheelbase options without additional cost. 

It keeps its 3.5-litre six-cylinder twin turbo-petrol engine that produces 298kW and 678Nm, with a 10-speed auto transmission. 

The XLT gets a part-time four-wheel drive system, while the two more expensive variants get a full 4WD set-up. 

There is plenty of new kit available on the base XLT, receiving several standout cosmetic additions such as chrome door handles and an exhaust extension. 

It also gets a 12-inch touchscreen and 12-inch digital drivers display as standard. 

The F-150 will battle Chevrolet’s Silverado and the RAM range for market share, with the two brands combining for more than 80 per cent of Aussie large dual-cab sales.

All F150s are imported to Australia and then re-manufactured to right-hand drive in a Victorian RMA Automotive factory.

Deliveries will commence in early 2026.
