Ford F-150 Lobo: Lowered V8 'street truck' revealed

The Ford F-150 Lobo is a new, lower, meaner-looking variant of the evergreen F-150 pickup truck with a V8 soundtrack. Under the bonnet – sorry, hood – is a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre 'Coyote' V8 petrol engine making 298kW and 556Nm. Despite the Lobo's sportier appearance, this V8 doesn't gain any performance upgrades. It's hooked up to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a four-wheel drive system with an electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case offering 2H, 4A, 4H and 4L modes. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The eight-pot is among a wide array of engines not available in Ford Australia F-150s, including a 2.7-litre turbo V6, 3.5-litre turbo hybrid, 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6, and 5.2-litre supercharged V8. All F-150 variants officially sold in Australia are powered by a 298kW/678Nm 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6. Based on the sporty adjacent STX trim, the Lobo rides on 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels with a unique design, shod with Bridgestone Alenza all-season tyres. The Lobo sits lower to ground, with the rear-end dropped 51mm (2.0 inches). This is matched with a 10-piece bodykit, dual exhaust outlets, and a unique four-part light bar stretching across the blacked-out grille. There's also a redesigned lower air intake with a mesh grille, cowl bonnet, and blacked-out vents, badging and detailing. Unlike the regular STX, the Lobo is only available with a four-door SuperCrew body and a 1.68m (5.5 foot) cargo tray. Five paint colours are available: Agate Black Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray, Oxford White, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. The F-150 Lobo will go on sale in the US during the third quarter of 2025 with prices starting from US$59,995 (A$92,440) before taxes. That's about US$5000 more than the 4×4 SuperCrew STX the Lobo is based on. Lobo – which is Spanish for wolf – has been used by Ford of Mexico since 1996 as the name for all F-150 models, except for the base trim. This was done to give the pickup truck more youth appeal and ti arrest a sales slide that was so severe Ford reportedly contemplated discontinuing the model south of the border. Ford's first Lobo model in the States didn't appear until 2024 when the Blue Oval decided to give its unibody Maverick ute a more menacing look to appeal to young 'uns. Thanks to its V8 engine and late appearance, it seems unlikely that the Lobo will be part of the F-150 range when the facelifted model finally arrives in Australia later this year.
