2027 Ford F-150 STX: Dacono Buyers Guide

Ford F-150 STX full-size pickup at Interstate Ford in Dacono, CO

Quick Answer: 2027 Ford F-150 STX

The STX sits between the XL and the XLT at $42,675 MSRP, before the $2,795 destination charge. It keeps the new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 as its standard engine and adds 18-inch gloss black wheels, a black and dark gray grille, body-color bumpers, sport cloth seats and a flow-through center console. The PowerBoost hybrid is available, the Lobo Package brings a 5.0L V8 with 22-inch wheels and a lowered rear, and for 2027 the FX4 Off-Road Package can be added to an STX for the first time.

The look-for-less trim

STX exists for the buyer who looks at an XL and wishes it had a bit more attitude without moving into XLT money. Everything that makes the XL a good truck carries over, including the 12-inch SYNC 4 display, the driver-assist basics and the 3.0L V6. On top of that Ford adds the visible stuff: 18-inch gloss black painted aluminum wheels, a coast-to-coast black and dark gray grille, a black fender vent accent, body-color bumpers where the XL has black ones, and unique sport cloth seats. Inside, the floor is carpeted with color-coordinated mats and the console flows through the cabin instead of splitting the seats with a bench.

The cab choices are narrower than on the XL. STX comes as a SuperCab with a 6.5-foot bed or as a SuperCrew with a 5.5-foot bed, which suits buyers who want rear seats without giving up the bed. Zone Lighting, which splits the exterior lighting so you can flood a work area behind the truck, is available, and so is a Mobile Office Package that turns the console into a work surface.

Three ways to make it your own

The first is the PowerBoost hybrid. STX is the lowest trim where Ford offers it, and that matters if you want a truck that can also run a saw, a charger or a refrigerator from a 7.2 kW outlet in the bed. The second is the Lobo Package, a street look that pairs the 5.0L V8 (400 hp, 410 lb-ft) with 22-inch gloss black wheels, a two-inch lowered rear ride height, a grille with a black insert and light bar, and black-tipped dual exhaust. The third is new for 2027: the FX4 Off-Road Package can now be ordered on an STX, with tuned shocks, Hill Descent Control, skid plates and an electronic-locking rear differential. That gives you a modestly priced truck that can handle a gravel county road or a trailhead on the way to the foothills.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better, the F-150 STX or the XLT?

The STX gives you the sportier looks and the same capable frame for $42,675 MSRP, while the XLT at $46,525 adds a wider list of available features such as heated front seats, the 360-degree camera and the new Carhartt Package. If the truck will mostly haul and commute, STX is the value pick, and if you want extra comfort and technology, XLT is the next step.

Why is the STX cheaper than the XLT?

The STX leaves out some of the comfort and convenience content that XLT makes available, and its styling is aimed at a sport look rather than a premium one. Both trims share the same 3.0L V6 as their standard engine and the same frame.

Can I get a hybrid F-150 STX?

Yes. The 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid is available on STX, and an available 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard system can power tools or appliances from the bed. Ford lists up to 12,100 lbs of towing for the hybrid.

What is the F-150 Lobo Package?

Lobo is a street-performance appearance package for the STX. It includes the 5.0L V8, 22-inch gloss black-painted wheels, a rear suspension that sits two inches lower, a black-insert grille with a light bar and black-tipped dual exhaust pipes.

Where can I test drive an STX in Dacono?

Interstate Ford is at 120 Laura Court. You can schedule a test drive online or call sales at 720-407-3462 to ask which STX trucks are on the lot.

Where STX lands

It is the trim where a work truck turns into a weekday commuter without costing much more, and the new FX4 option makes it more capable than its sticker suggests.
