The F-150 STX is a trim level in the Ford F-150 lineup, not a single option box. It has its own named packages, and the STX lists the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, while other engines such as the 3.5L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8 and PowerBoost are in the wider F-150 lineup.
Ford uses “STX” in the trim name and in package names like STX FX4 (201A), which is why the question comes up so often. Below, you’ll see where the STX sits in the lineup, which engines and drivetrains it offers, and which packages Ford lists for it. To see one up close, browse the Ford F-150 inventory at Barrhaven Ford whenever it suits you.
What Is the F150 STX Package on the 2026 Ford F-150?
The STX is a trim, and the packages build on top of it. On Ford Canada’s F-150 page, you’re looking at three separate layers:
- The trim itself, which is the STX
- Named packages that build on the trim, such as STX (200A) and STX FX4 (201A)
- Powertrain choices, including the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 listed for the STX and two drivetrains
Keep those layers separate, and the STX gets much easier to shop. “STX FX4,” for example, means an STX truck equipped with the STX FX4 (201A) package. It isn’t a different trim.
Where the 2026 F150 STX Sits in the Lineup
Ford lists eight trims for the new F-150 in Canada:
- XL
- STX
- XLT
- Lariat
- Tremor
- King Ranch
- Platinum
- Raptor
The STX is the second step on that ladder, between the XL and the XLT. It offers 18-inch, 20-inch, and 22-inch wheels, along with six named packages.
Which Engines Can the 2026 F150 STX Have?
Here’s how Ford rates each engine on the F-150:
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque |
|---|---|---|
| 2.7L EcoBoost V6 | 325 hp | 400 lb-ft |
| 3.5L EcoBoost V6 | 382 hp | 500 lb-ft |
| 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 | 400 hp | 500 lb-ft |
| 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 | 435 hp | 578 lb-ft |
These are the highest ratings for each engine across the F-150 lineup, not STX-specific ratings. Ask the Barrhaven Ford team for the exact rating on the truck you’re considering.
The gas engines pair with Ford Electronic Ten-Speed Automatic Transmission. The PowerBoost, on the other hand, uses the Hybrid Electronic Ten-Speed Automatic Transmission. For more on the hybrid, see how the F-150 PowerBoost hybrid powers your worksite.
F-150 STX Drivetrain and Wheel Choices for Ontario Roads

Wheels are part of the personality, too. The STX offers:
- 18-inch wheels

Tire choices change with wheel size. The Barrhaven Ford team can show you how each combination looks on the truck. If you also want to compare payload across engines and cabs, see these 2026 F-150 payload specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the STX package on the F-150?
The STX is a trim level, the second step in the lineup between the XL and the XLT. Ford pairs it with named packages, including STX (200A), STX FX4 (201A) and the STX Black Appearance Package. You also choose an engine and a drivetrain. People often say “STX package” because Ford uses STX in both the trim and package names. Think of it as a trim first, with packages layered on top. Barrhaven Ford can walk you through how each package changes the truck.
What does STX stand for on a Ford F-150?
Ford Canada doesn’t publish a meaning for the letters, so it’s best treated as a trim name. What matters more is what the trim offers. The STX sits between the XL and XLT, lists the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, comes in 4X2 or 4X4 and lists six named packages. If you’ve seen a meaning online, keep in mind it doesn’t come from Ford Canada. The team at Barrhaven Ford can show you the trim in person and explain how it compares with the trims around it.
Is the Ford F-150 STX 4WD?
It can be. Ford lists both 4X2 and 4X4 drivetrains for the STX, so you choose the setup that fits your driving. Ottawa winters and snowy Ontario side roads make 4X4 worth considering. Ford also offers the STX FX4 (201A) package on this trim. Because configurations vary, confirm the drivetrain on any specific truck before you decide. A Barrhaven Ford product specialist can show you both versions side by side.
Which motor is better, the 5.0 or the 3.5 EcoBoost?
On the F-150, both engines make 500 lb-ft of torque. The 5.0L V8 makes 400 hp, compared with 382 hp for the 3.5L EcoBoost. The engine the STX lists is the 2.7L EcoBoost V6.
Which engines can the 2026 F-150 STX have?
The STX lists the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, with the 3.5L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8 and PowerBoost among the engines in the lineup. The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is the trim’s listed engine, rated at 325 hp and 400 lb-ft. Other engines in the lineup include the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (382 hp, 500 lb-ft), the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 (400 hp, 500 lb-ft) and the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 (435 hp, 578 lb-ft).
