Ford has updated the F-150 for the 2026 model year, and in a surprising move amid the widespread digitalization of vehicle interiors, the pickup truck is bringing back an analog instrument panel for two trims. The XL and STX versions will feature a 4-inch screen positioned between analog gauges for the tachometer and speedometer, with additional analog indicators for fuel level, engine temperature, and other parameters above.For the F-150 XL, this analog setup is the only available option. The STX trim also comes standard with the analog cluster, but selecting the $1,705 Mid package upgrades it to a fully digital 12-inch display.Other F-150 versions—including the XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Tremor, and Raptor—will not offer analog instruments, as they are equipped exclusively with the 12-inch digital display. This marks a shift from the 2025 model year, where even the XL and STX trims had the digital panel as standard.Additional updates for the 2026 F-150 include a new XLT Chrome Package, three new equipment sets (King Ranch 600A, Platinum 700A, and Tremor 402B), and the return of rear-wheel drive for certain trims like the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. A new Ford Connectivity Package is available across the lineup, offering a one-year free trial period with an option for a one-time purchase covering seven years.The starting price for the 2026 Ford F-150 XL is $39,330 (approximately 3.06 million rubles at the current exchange rate), excluding delivery fees.
