Ford F-150 Lobo: Lowered V8 'street truck' revealed
The 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. Supplied Credit: CarExpert The eight-pot is among a wide array of engines not available in Australia-bound 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 local F-150 variants 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 dropped 51mm (2.0 inches). This is matched with a ten-piece bodykit, dual exhaust pipes, 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. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 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. Supplied Credit: CarExpert 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 done to give the pickup truck more youth appeal and arrest a sales slide, which 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.

Ford unleashes the 2025 F-150 Lobo
FORD is reviving a storied nameplate with the launch of the 2025 F-150 Lobo, introducing a brawny new street truck that combines aggressive styling with familiar V8 performance. The 'Lobo' designation, Spanish for 'wolf', traces its heritage back to a 1981 Bronco concept and later gained popularity as a branding choice for F-150 models in Mexico starting in 1997. For the first time, this name is making its debut in the United States market as a distinctive variant of the brand's best-selling pickup. Rather than being positioned as a standalone trim, the Lobo is offered as an optional appearance package for the F-150 STX. This version of the truck is available exclusively in the SuperCrew configuration and is paired with Ford's 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine. The powerplant delivers 400hp and 555Nm of torque, maintaining the same output as the standard STX variant. Buyers seeking higher performance figures will need to consider other F-150 options, such as the 450hp EcoBoost V6 or the formidable Raptor R, which houses a supercharged 5.2-litre V8 producing an immense 720hp. Mechanically, the F-150 Lobo adopts a four-wheel-drive system equipped with an electronically controlled, on-demand two-speed transfer case. It offers selectable drive modes, including 2H, 4A, 4H, and 4L, catering to both on-road agility and off-road capability. The truck's practical credentials remain solid, with a payload capacity of up to 657kg and a towing capacity rated at 3,583 kg. While its performance remains largely unchanged, the Lobo package is focused on style and street presence. The visual transformation includes a comprehensive 10-piece ground effects kit and numerous blacked-out design elements. A cowl hood, bespoke front grille, and a dual-layer LED light bar give the front end a more commanding appearance. Ford has also updated the taillights and introduced subtle Lobo badging to reinforce the identity of this special model. Further distinguishing the Lobo from other STX models are exclusive 22-inch gloss black alloy wheels, paired with a rear suspension drop of two inches to create a lower, sportier stance. The rear view is enhanced by visible dual exhaust tips, a feature notably absent on the Maverick Lobo. Although black paint may suit its aggressive design, Ford offers a choice of finishes, including Atlas Blue, Rapid Red, Carbonised Grey, and Oxford White for added variety. Ford has priced the F-150 Lobo at USD 59,995 (RM282,000). The cost places the Lobo around USD 4,695 (RM22,100) above the base STX model, reflecting the extensive cosmetic upgrades and exclusive styling elements that define this bold new entrant in the full-size street truck segment.
