Ford Just Made The F-150’s V8 More Expensive Than Its Twin-Turbo V6

As part of the latest shakeup for the 2026 Ford F-150, the automaker has decided to drop the 5.0 Coyote V8 as an engine option for the King Ranch and Platinum trim levels, leaving buyers with a choice of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost or PowerBoost Hybrid. This is probably not a big deal for the majority of F-150 buyers, but for someone who considers the smooth power delivery of a 400-horsepower Coyote as part and parcel to the very concept of a luxury truck, it’s at least mildly frustrating.
