For farms, job sites, and weekend hauls across Colusa County and the greater Sacramento Valley, the 2026 Ford F-150 remains the benchmark for a half-ton truck that can do it all. It backs a broad engine lineup with best-in-class towing, real onboard power for your tools, and driver-assist technology that makes long hauls up Interstate 5 easier. Here is how the current F-150 breaks down, and why local buyers shop for it at Hoblit Motors Ford in Colusa.
An Engine for Every Job
The 2026 Ford F-150 gives you a range of powertrains, so you can match the truck to the work rather than paying for capability you will not use:
- 2.7L EcoBoost V6: the efficient standard choice for daily driving and lighter loads.
- 3.5L EcoBoost V6: the workhorse and the towing champion of the lineup, rated around 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque.
- 5.0L Ti-VCT V8: classic V8 torque and sound for drivers who want it.
- 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid V6: 430 horsepower and 578 lb-ft of combined torque, blending gas and electric power with better efficiency and standard onboard power generation.
Every engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and each is rated to tow well over 8,000 pounds, so even the entry powertrain handles most trailers a Colusa household or small operation pulls.
Towing Capability That Leads the Class
Towing is where the F-150 earns its reputation. Properly equipped, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 tows up to 13,500 pounds, a best-in-class figure among half-ton trucks. It is worth being clear about what "properly equipped" means: that maximum requires the Max Trailer Tow package and the correct rear axle ratio on the right cab-and-box configuration, so it is a ceiling for a specific build, not a number every F-150 hits off the lot.
Here is how the rest of the lineup tows when properly equipped:
- 5.0L V8: up to 12,800 pounds
- 3.5L PowerBoost full hybrid: up to 11,600 pounds
- 2.7L EcoBoost V6: up to 8,400 pounds
If you tow a livestock trailer, a boat, or a loaded equipment trailer regularly, our team can help you spec the exact engine, axle, and package combination to hit the rating you need. Actual towing depends on cab, box, drivetrain, and how much payload (passengers, gear, and tongue weight) you are already carrying.
Pro Power Onboard: A Generator in Your Truck Bed
One of the F-150's standout features for work and recreation is Pro Power Onboard, which turns the truck into a mobile power source. On the PowerBoost hybrid, the available system delivers up to 7.2 kilowatts of exportable power, enough to run job-site tools, a welder, or campsite gear, and even to keep essentials running at home during an outage. For anyone who works off the truck or heads out past the grid on the weekend, it is a genuinely useful capability that most competitors cannot match.
Technology for Towing and the Long Haul
The F-150 backs its muscle with technology that makes hard jobs easier. Available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving takes some of the fatigue out of long, straight stretches of I-5 on prequalified roads. For towing, available features like Pro Trailer Backup Assist and an integrated trailer brake controller make hitching up and reversing a trailer far less stressful, especially in a tight yard or a busy launch ramp. Inside, the SYNC touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps navigation and communication within easy reach.
Depending on cab configuration, the F-150 seats up to five or six occupants, with the flat-folding and flexible seating that makes a SuperCrew equally at home hauling a crew to a job site or a family on a road trip.
