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.

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.

Jim Cramer Calls Seagate Technology (STX) an 'AI trade'
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. During the episode, Cramer had a lot of positive things to say about Seagate Technology Holdings plc (NASDAQ:STX) as the company becomes an 'AI trade.' He commented: 'We've also got a couple of smaller techs acting superbly. Incredibly, Seagate is on the list. For a long time, this was just another commodity tech play, but now it's an AI trade because data centers need lots of hard drives. What a comeback. Hey, glad they could hold on for all these years.' Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) delivers data storage solutions spanning hard drives, solid state drives, and external storage devices, while also offering an edge-to-cloud platform designed to support enterprise infrastructure across both on-premise and cloud environments. In a March episode, Cramer said that he prefers another company instead of Seagate (NASDAQ:STX) as he remarked: A technician configuring a network-attached storage drive. 'Alright, Seagate. Okay, now this is a very cheap stock, but cheap for a reason. It's because the business is very cutthroat and I suggest that if you wanted to go in this business, you wanted to go into storage, I am going to send you honestly to Broadcom. I'd rather see them, they got storage too.' Overall, STX ranks 2nd on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of STX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
