What’s New for the 2026 Ford Model Lineup?

Ford fans and car buyers around Brewster, New York, are in for a treat with what’s coming for new Ford vehicles in the 2026 model year. This is shaping up to be one of Ford’s biggest shake-ups in years, affecting everything from new ford SUVs and trucks to electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids.

These updates focus on what drivers really want: smarter technology, better performance, and improved efficiency that actually makes a difference during your daily drives through Westchester County or those weekend trips up to the Hudson Valley. Whether you’re navigating winter roads with the family or need serious capability for work around Putnam County, Ford’s 2026 lineup delivers solutions that fit our local driving conditions perfectly.

Introducing the 2026 Ford Lineup

Ford’s 2026 models are expected to begin arriving at dealerships toward the end of 2025. The 2026 Escape, Explorer, and Super Duty are already available for order, with the 2026 Ford Mustang anticipated to be the next to arrive. Ford is introducing fresh design touches across the board, including vibrant new paint options, such as Adriatic Blue Metallic and Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat, for the 2026 Ford Mustang GT, EcoBoost, and Dark Horse models. Additionally, the lineup features improved infotainment systems and safety technology to further enhance your driving experience.

2026 Ford SUVs and Crossovers: Capability Meets Modern Tech

A new off-road Tremor trim joins the Explorer lineup for 2026, featuring a lifted suspension and all-terrain tires. The base trims come with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower, or you can upgrade to the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, which generates 400 horsepower. Both engines come with a 5,000-pound towing capacity that’s perfect for hauling boats on the weekend. A standard 13.2-inch touch screen runs Ford Digital Experience software with Google and Amazon apps built right in. Plus, you get a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system on all but the base trim that’ll make your commute sound amazing.

Following a midcycle refresh for 2025, the 2026 Expedition sees minimal changes. A twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 makes 400 horsepower as standard, but the high-output version cranks out 440 horsepower and rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. The new Expedition features the same impressive towing capacity as the 2025 model (topping out at 9,600 pounds), as well as a massive 24-inch dashboard display that puts everything you need right where you can see it.

Bronco fans will love the red-and-white 60th Anniversary edition, but otherwise, much stays the same for the new model year. Engine choices include the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, making 300 horsepower, or the beefier 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 generating 330 horsepower. You can tow up to 3,500 pounds and pick between a seven-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic. It’s perfect for weekend adventures around Brewster.

2026 Ford Trucks: Power, Efficiency, and Innovation

For 2026, the F-150 Lightning gets a new STX package that replaces the XLT trim, giving this popular electric truck a fresh look. Other than some exterior styling refreshes, much stays the same. A standard range battery delivers 426 horsepower, while the extended-range pack gives you 536 horsepower and 290 miles of driving range. Starting at around $63,345, the new F-150 Lightning makes for a practical electric truck.

If you need serious capability, the Ford Super Duty still rules the roost. The 2026 model can tow up to 40,000 pounds when properly equipped, and the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine generates up to 500 horsepower and a massive 1,200 lb-ft of torque. With a range of packages available, you can customize your work truck exactly how you want. Whether you’re hauling construction materials to job sites or towing heavy equipment, the Ford Super Duty handles whatever your business demands.

2026 Ford Electric and Hybrid Lineup Expansion

2026 marks the start of Ford’s most serious electric push yet. Backed by a $5 billion investment, the company is creating a universal EV platform that will underpin future models. It’s anticipated that the production of a new midsize pickup truck will begin in 2026, with an affordable starting price of just $30,000. Ford’s aim is to create electric trucks that regular people can afford.

Ford launched its Ford Charge network on Aug. 28, 2025, with nearly 1,200 DC fast chargers located at over 320 Ford dealerships nationwide, and we expect this figure to continue growing through 2026. Ford’s long-term goal is to have 40% of its global lineup be all-electric by 2030, and expanding charging infrastructure is a key step in achieving this target.
