Following the launch of the Maverick Lobo last year, Ford is supersizing the street truck formula with the new F-150 Lobo. Spanish for “Wolf,” the suffix was first used on a 1981 Bronco concept before making its way to a production model in 1997 on the Mexican-market F-150. For 2025, there’s now an F-150 Lobo for the United States.
Rather than being a separate trim level, Lobo is an optional package on the STX. Ford sells the street truck exclusively in the SuperCrew body style with the 5.0-liter V-8. However, the naturally aspirated engine retains its usual 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. You’ll have to look elsewhere in the lineup to get the more potent 450-hp EcoBoost V-6 or the Raptor R’s supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 with a massive 720 hp.

The spiritual successor to the SVT Lightning gets a 4WD system with an electronically controlled, on-demand two-speed transfer case and selectable 2H, 4A, 4H, and 4L modes. It has a maximum payload of 1,450 pounds and can tow up to 7,900 pounds.
Essentially, Lobo is a cosmetic package designed to make the F-150 look a bit meaner. There’s a 10-piece ground effects kit, combined with plenty of black accents. It stands out thanks to features like a cowl hood, a distinctive front grille, and a dual-layer LED light bar. Ford also tweaks the taillights and adds discreet Lobo badging.
The 22-inch gloss black wheels are exclusive to the F-150 Lobo, and the rear has been lowered by two inches for a more aggressive stance. Rounding out the changes are visible dual exhaust tips, which aren’t available on the Maverick Lobo. The full-size street truck doesn’t always have to be black. Ford also offers Atlas Blue, Rapid Red, Carbonized Gray, and Oxford White as alternative finishes.

The Blue Oval wants $59,995 for the F-150 Lobo, including destination and handling fees. That makes the sporty-looking truck $4,695 more expensive than a regular STX.
It’s unlikely to be the final sendoff for the fourteenth-generation model. Although it’s already about five years old, the current F-150 might stick around for a while. The next-gen pickup has reportedly been pushed back by at least a year, to mid-2028, according to reports from Automotive News and The Detroit Free Press.
