While the 2026 Ford F-150 STX offers a sportier entry point at an MSRP of $51,983, the 2026 Ford F-150 XLT serves as the versatile sweet spot for $65,271. This investment secures a 26 mpg combined rating, outperforming the STX trim's 23 mpg combined efficiency.

Specification 2026 Ford F-150 XLT 2026 Ford F-150 STX Engine 5.0L V8 5.0L V8 Transmission Automatic Automatic Drivetrain 4WD 4WD The 2026 Ford F-150 XLT builds on a legacy of Ford Motor Company durability, providing the mechanical strength necessary for the limestone terrain and ranching operations of Dunlay. Both the XLT and the 2026 Ford F-150 STX are equipped with a 5.0L V8 engine and 4WD, managed by a smooth automatic transmission. This configuration is a staple for local residents who manage heavy equipment or haul supplies across hilly pastures. Ford supports these demands with a best-in-class max available torque of 640 lb-ft and a max available payload of 2,440 lbs. Although these trims share the same 5.0L V8 engine and a 5-passenger seating capacity, the XLT delivers superior efficiency for those frequently traveling toward San Antonio or Uvalde. The XLT, with an MSRP of $65,271, reaches 24 city and 28 highway MPG, leading to a combined 26 MPG. Conversely, the STX, priced at an MSRP of $51,983, provides 22 city and 24 highway MPG, resulting in a combined 23 MPG. This 3 MPG improvement in combined fuel economy allows XLT drivers to cover more ground on a single tank of unleaded fuel while retaining full 4WD utility. Utility shines during the heavy-duty routines common in rural Texas. A rancher in Dunlay might spend a morning loading dozens of heavy feed bags to support livestock. The XLT handles these payloads with stability before transitioning to an afternoon towing a fishing boat. The 5.0L V8 ensures the truck remains composed during equipment transport or trailer hauling. Opting for the XLT over the STX provides a more fuel-efficient experience without compromising the high-output performance that defines the Ford truck heritage. Rugged Looks Built for Texas Hill Country Roads and Hardworking Weekends Dimensions & Capacity Exterior dimensions and passenger capacity.

Both the XLT and the 2026 Ford F-150 STX share substantial exterior dimensions, measuring 213.2 inches in length and 79.9 inches in width. Standing 77 inches tall, these trucks provide the ground clearance necessary for navigating the uneven pastures found around Dunlay. While the STX focuses on a sportier aesthetic with its 18" gloss black-painted wheels, the XLT prioritizes functional visibility for late-night ranch tasks. The XLT includes Zone Lighting and LED fog lamps, features that prove essential when checking fences after sunset or navigating misty mornings near the Medina River. Practicality extends to the rear of the vehicle, where the XLT offers the available Pro Access Tailgate. This design is specifically engineered to allow easier bed entry while a trailer is attached, a significant advantage for those hauling equipment to Guadalupe River State Park. The STX provides a stylish alternative with unique sport cloth seats, yet it maintains the same 5-passenger seating capacity as the XLT. The Johnson family might pack their STX for a weekend getaway, while a rancher utilizes the XLT's available 360-Degree Camera for tight maneuvers; in both scenarios, the physical proportions remain consistent. These dimensions ensure that every variant of the F-150 remains a formidable presence on both paved highways and the rugged backcountry trails of rural Texas.

This interior volume provides the necessary shoulder room for the Johnson family to stay comfortable while traveling to Guadalupe River State Park. While both trucks maintain an identical width of 79.9 inches, the XLT, which carries a $65,271 MSRP, focuses on a versatile environment for those balancing ranch management with long highway stints. Inside the XLT, the cabin environment is designed for high-level productivity. Owners can add the Mobile Office Package for $760, which transforms the center console into a flat workspace suitable for a laptop or logging ranch expenses. This feature is particularly useful for small business owners who need to coordinate deliveries while parked in Lytle. In contrast, the $51,983 STX trim utilizes unique sport cloth seats that emphasize an athletic feel, catering to families who prefer a durable, stain-resistant material for outdoor excursions. Storage solutions are practical across both configurations. A Console Vault is available for $430, providing a secure location for valuables during community events. For organizing smaller items, the 40/20/40 Removable Cup Tray costs $80 and helps keep the front area tidy during the daily commute to San Antonio. To protect the interior against limestone dust and mud, the Full Coverage Rubber Floor Mats are a $200 addition that simplifies cleanup after a day in the field. These interior details ensure that the truck remains an organized space regardless of the heavy-duty demands placed upon it. Tech That Simplifies Your Daily Commute and Lakehills Towing Tasks The digital heart of the 2026 Ford F-150 XLT, which features a starting MSRP of $65,271, is designed to handle the logistical demands of rural Texas life. Both the XLT and the 2026 Ford F-150 STX, priced from $51,983, are equipped with a 12-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen and a 12-inch Digital Productivity Screen. This expansive 12.0 inches of screen real estate makes it easy to monitor vehicle vitals while preparing to utilize the best-in-class max available torque of 640 lb-ft for a weekend outing at Medina Lake. While both trims utilize SYNC 4 Enhanced Voice Recognition for hands-free adjustments, the XLT provides a significant convenience for the 5 passengers it can carry with standard Connected Navigation. In contrast, this feature is only available as an extra-cost option for the STX. Technology & Infotainment Connectivity and multimedia features.

This connectivity supports standard Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto, ensuring that your preferred maps and media are always ready. For those who spend long hours on the road between Dunlay and San Antonio, the XLT offers an available B&O Sound System with 8 speakers. This premium audio upgrade provides a more immersive experience than the standard 6-speaker stereo found in the STX, making the drive more enjoyable as you manage heavy loads like the 2,440-lb max available payload. Practicality extends to the FordPass App, which offers standard remote start and app control for both the XLT and STX. This allows you to start the engine and set the climate control from your phone, a welcome feature during a humid South Texas morning. Furthermore, 2 USB ports, consisting of 1 USB-A and 1 USB-C, are standard in the front of both cabins to keep devices charged. With standard Over-the-Air Updates, the software in your truck remains optimized as you travel across the diverse landscapes of the Hill Country. This integrated technology ensures the F-150 remains a modern tool for both work and family life. Peace of Mind on Medina Lake Backroads with Advanced Safety Systems Navigating the winding, two-lane roads near Medina Lake requires a vehicle engineered to protect its occupants. Both the 2026 Ford F-150 XLT and the 2026 Ford F-150 STX arrive with the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK designation from the IIHS. This rating is supported by a Good (G) evaluation in the side crash test and the small overlap front (driver-side) test for both trims. Furthermore, the standard headlights on both models earned a Good (G) rating, which is essential for spotting wildlife on dark rural stretches at night.

Specifically, the XLT makes Ford BlueCruise hands-free highway driving available, providing physical relief during long commutes to San Antonio. The XLT also offers an available 360-Degree Camera, a tool that proves invaluable when navigating narrow ranch gates or backing a trailer into a tight spot. In contrast, these specific features are not available on the STX trim. Both vehicles achieve a Poor (P) rating for front crash prevention with optional equipment, emphasizing the importance of attentive driving. To support long-term reliability, Ford includes a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance for both the XLT and STX. This manufacturer-backed support ensures that help is available if a breakdown occurs on a remote rural road. This comprehensive approach to safety and support allows Hill Country families to focus on their outdoor adventures with confidence. Financial Value and Durability for Hill Country Lifestyles Choosing a truck for life in South Texas is more than a simple purchase; it is a long-term commitment to a tool that must withstand the rigors of ranching and heavy commuting. The 2026 Ford F-150 XLT represents a strategic investment for local families, balancing a $65,271 MSRP with efficiency that pays dividends over years of travel between Dunlay and Uvalde. While the 2026 Ford F-150 STX offers a lower entry point at $51,983, the XLT justifies the $13,288 difference through superior fuel economy, achieving a 26 MPG combined rating compared to the 23 MPG combined rating of the STX. Both models accommodate 5 passengers in spacious crew cab configurations, but the XLT adds layers of technology, such as the available 360-Degree Camera, that protect your investment during tight maneuvers at Medina Lake boat ramps.

Folks who spend their weekends hauling boats out to Medina Lake in Lakehills still talk about the short but impressive run of the light-duty diesel. Ford introduced the 3.0L Power Stroke V6 turbo diesel to give half-ton buyers the kind of low-end grunt and highway efficiency usually reserved for the heavy-duty crowd. While that specific engine was discontinued for the F-150 after the 2021 model year, its legacy of high-torque towing lives on in our current lineup through the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6. more Continue reading... If you are looking for that specific diesel feel in a brand-new truck, we usually point you toward the 6.7L Power Stroke found in the Super Duty family. However, for the standard half-ton enthusiast, the 2026 F-150 has evolved to provide even more power through its gas and hybrid options. You can see how these modern powerplants handle the road by browsing our new F-150 inventory. Our team has been part of this community for a long time, and we understand that choosing the right engine is about more than just numbers; it is about knowing your truck will start every morning and pull every load you hook up to it. If you have questions about which year models carried the diesel or want to feel the torque of the new hybrid for yourself, give us (830) 426-5391 a quick call. We take pride in our Texas roots and our history of helping neighbors find the right tool for the job. You can always visit our showroom in Hondo to walk the lot and talk shop with folks who know these trucks inside and out.

That torque peaked early in the RPM range, which is exactly what you want when you are pulling a heavy trailer up a grade. To put that in perspective, the current 5.0L V8 found in the XL and STX trims produces 400 hp and 410 lb-ft. While the V8 has more raw horsepower, the old diesel’s ability to deliver its maximum twist at just 1,750 RPM made it a favorite for steady, effortless cruising under load.

The hybrid variant actually produces a Best-in-Class Max Available Torque of 640 lb-ft, which significantly outclasses the 440 lb-ft found in the old diesel. Even the standard 3.5L V6 in the Lariat and Tremor trims provides a massive jump in performance compared to the trucks of a decade ago. We know that many of our neighbors are looking for the best value over the long haul, and you can use our contact us for current payment information to see how different engine choices fit into your monthly budget. Maintaining these high-performance engines requires the right components, and you can order genuine Ford parts directly through our website to keep your rig running like the day you bought it. We believe in transparency and straightforward talk, which is part of our ongoing community commitment here in Medina County. Whether you are running a legacy diesel or a brand-new hybrid, we treat every truck that rolls into our service bay with the respect it deserves. Towing Efficiency and the Economics of Diesel Ownership One of the biggest draws for the 3.0L Power Stroke was its fuel economy. In a 4x2 configuration, it was capable of an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city / 30 mpg highway. For high-mileage drivers, those numbers were hard to beat. However, the economics of diesel ownership involve more than just the pump price. You also have to factor in the cost of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) and more frequent fuel filter changes. When towing heavy loads, that fuel economy advantage often narrows, as diesel engines still consume significant fuel when the turbochargers are working hard to move a trailer. Warranty Factory warranty coverage Coverage Duration Basic 3 years / 36,000 miles (bumper-to-bumper) Powertrain 5 years / 60,000 miles (powertrain) Corrosion 5 years / unlimited miles (corrosion—sheet metal/perforation only excluding aluminum) Roadside Assistance 5 years / 60,000 miles (Roadside Assistance Program) For those who prioritize efficiency today, the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 offers 24 mpg city / 24 mpg highway in the XLT trim, providing a more balanced profile for folks who do a mix of town driving and highway hauling. We provide detailed information on Ford owner benefits and warranty coverage so you can see the full picture of ownership. Our family-owned dealership has seen many engine technologies come and go, but our focus on service remains the same. You can check our current service and parts specials to save on the routine maintenance that keeps these complex engines healthy. Learning more about our story will show you that we value long-term relationships over quick sales, which is why we are honest about the trade-offs between diesel and gas performance. PowerBoost Hybrid Range and Pro Power Onboard Capability The 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 has become the spiritual successor to the diesel for those who need maximum range. When equipped with the about 31 gallon fuel tank, this powertrain can deliver a driving range of over 700 miles. This is a game-changer for long Texas road trips where gas stations can be few and far between. It provides the long-distance capability people loved about the diesel without the need to find a green pump. A feature the old diesel never had is Pro Power Onboard. This system turns your truck into a mobile generator, offering up to an available 7.2 kW of usable electric power. Whether you are running power tools at a job site or keeping the lights on at a campsite, the hybrid battery and gas engine work together to provide clean, reliable power. If you want to see this technology in action, our expert staff can give you a full demonstration of how to manage the power output through the infotainment screen. Keeping these advanced hybrid systems in top shape is easy when you use our online service appointment scheduler. We make sure our technicians are trained on the latest electrical and mechanical systems so your PowerBoost stays as reliable as the day you drove it home. We know your time is valuable, so we aim to get you back on the road quickly and safely. Buying and Maintaining a High-Mileage Used F-150 Diesel If you are hunting for a used F-150 with the 3.0L Power Stroke, you are likely looking at trucks with over 100,000 miles. These engines are known for their durability, but they require strict adherence to maintenance schedules, especially regarding the high-pressure fuel system and emissions components. We always recommend checking the service history to ensure the previous owner stayed on top of oil changes and filter replacements. A well-maintained diesel can run for a very long time, but neglected ones can be expensive to repair.

Pre-Purchase Inspections and Financing Your Next Truck Out in the agricultural fields near Dunlay, a truck isn't just a ride; it's a tool that has to work as hard as you do. If you are buying a used diesel truck from a private seller, we always suggest a professional pre-purchase inspection. Diesel engines have specific components like glow plugs, turbo actuators, and EGR systems that require a trained eye to evaluate. Our service department can perform these inspections to give you a clear picture of the truck's health before you hand over your hard-earned money. Beyond trucks, we maintain a diverse selection of vehicles to fit every lifestyle. If you need a reliable commuter, you might look through our pre-owned sedans or our inventory of used coupes.

Quick Answers Before You Visit Cecil Atkission Ford Q: Was the 3.0L Power Stroke diesel available on all F-150 trims? The diesel engine was primarily offered on higher-level trims like the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. It was generally not available on the base XL or STX work trucks, as it was positioned as a premium engine choice for those seeking high-efficiency towing. Q: What transmission was paired with the F-150 diesel engine? Every 3.0L Power Stroke V6 was paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission. This transmission was specifically calibrated to keep the diesel engine in its optimal power band, ensuring smooth shifts even when pulling a heavy trailer or navigating hilly terrain. Q: Can I still get a diesel engine in any new Ford pickup? While the F-150 no longer offers a diesel, you can find the powerful 6.7L Power Stroke V8 in our new Super Duty F-250 inventory. For even more capability, we carry new Ford heavy duty trucks like the F-350 and F-450, which are designed for the most demanding towing tasks. Q: How does the PowerBoost hybrid compare to the diesel for job site use? The 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 is often better for job sites because of the Pro Power Onboard system. While the diesel provided great torque, the hybrid provides both high torque and the ability to power heavy-duty tools directly from the truck bed, which you can monitor using the Ford App on your smartphone. Q: Does Cecil Atkission Ford offer any special programs for truck buyers? We offer the Cecil Advantage, which includes our 3-Day Love It or Exchange It Program to ensure you are completely satisfied with your purchase. Additionally, hablamos Español to ensure all our neighbors feel welcome and understood when shopping for new Ford trucks or new Ford SUVs. Q: Is the 3.5L EcoBoost better for towing than the old diesel? The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 offers a higher maximum towing capacity of 13,500 pounds, which beats the 12,100-pound limit of the old 3.0L Power Stroke. While the diesel was more efficient on the highway, the EcoBoost provides more raw pulling power for those with the heaviest trailers.

One of the most impressive additions to the lineup is the Stroppe edition, which pays homage to a rich racing legacy while delivering modern technical excellence. This model is equipped with a 2.7L V6 engine and a 10-speed Automatic transmission, producing the high-torque output required for crawling over obstacles or maintaining speed on loose sand. Engine & Performance Feature Standard across all trims Engine 2.7L V6 Transmission Automatic Drivetrain 4WD Standard on the Badlands and Stroppe configurations is a sophisticated 4WD system paired with the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) 2.0. This setup utilizes Bilstein position-sensitive dampers to provide a controlled ride on the street while allowing for extreme articulation off-road. For those navigating the oak and cedar-lined trails around Lakehills, features like Trail Turn Assist and Trail Control act as a low-speed cruise control for the dirt, allowing the driver to focus on steering while the vehicle manages throttle and braking. The technical specs for the Stroppe edition include: Engine: 2.7L V6 Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 4WD Starting MSRP: $72,450 Inside, the Bronco is built for the reality of South Texas dust and mud. It features marine-grade vinyl seating and washable floors with integrated drains. While many customers are focused on the latest models, we also maintain a variety of pre-owned SUVs for those seeking specific previous-generation features. If you are interested in the history of our dealership and our commitment to these vehicles, you can read our story online. We even occasionally stock pre-owned coupes for those who want performance on the pavement rather than the trail. Capability and Tech Features of the Explorer Timberline and Tremor The 2026 Ford Explorer has evolved into a formidable off-road contender with the introduction of the Tremor trim. This version of America’s best-selling SUV is engineered with a lifted ride height and a minimum running ground clearance of about 9 inches. To protect the drivetrain during technical maneuvers, Ford has equipped the Explorer Tremor with steel skid plates and heavy-duty shocks originally developed for the Police Interceptor Utility, ensuring durability when the pavement ends. Connectivity is a major focus for the 2026 model, featuring the new Ford Digital Experience. This system centers around a 13.2-inch touchscreen that integrates Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For long drives toward San Antonio or through the open fields of Dunlay, the available Ford BlueCruise allows for hands-free highway driving on pre-qualified sections of the interstate. This blend of trail-ready hardware and high-end tech makes the Explorer a versatile choice for families who refuse to stay on the beaten path. When you purchase an Explorer through our team, you benefit from the Cecil Advantage, which includes our commitment to transparency and long-term customer satisfaction. We also encourage shoppers to browse our pre-owned truck inventory if they need a different balance of cargo and passenger space. To keep your current vehicle in top shape for your next adventure, be sure to view our latest service and parts specials for items like all-weather floor liners or specialized off-road accessories. Comparing Daily Driveability Between the Bronco and Major Rivals How does a purpose-built SUV like the Ford Bronco compare to a traditional rival like the Jeep Wrangler for daily use? While both are exceptional off-road, the Bronco utilizes an independent front suspension (IFS) that provides significantly more composed handling on the highway. This is a critical factor for residents of Lytle who may commute to San Antonio during the week but spend their weekends fishing or hunting near the Medina River. The Bronco's interior is also designed with more modern ergonomics in mind. Standard tech like the 12-inch touchscreen and available B&O Sound System with 12 speakers provide a premium experience that rivals often lack. For those who aren't quite ready for a full-size off-roader, we also offer pre-owned sedans that prioritize fuel economy and a quiet cabin. Our expert staff is always available to help you compare these models side-by-side during a test drive. Once a customer feels the difference in steering precision on the road, the Bronco often becomes the clear winner for a "one-car" household. If your current vehicle needs a check-up before you trade it in, you can use our online service scheduler to find a time that fits your busy schedule. Financing Your Adventure and the Value Retention of Off-Road Trims Investing in an off-road-focused trim like the Bronco Badlands or the F-150 Raptor often makes financial sense due to their strong value retention. Enthusiast-grade vehicles tend to hold their worth better than base models because they are highly sought after in the secondary market. For example, the 2026 Ford Bronco Stroppe starts at an MSRP of $72,450, and its limited availability and specialized equipment help protect that investment over time. Pricing Feature Available Starting MSRP $72,450 To help you get behind the wheel of your next adventure, our finance center offers a variety of tools to streamline the process. You can start by applying for credit online to see what rates you qualify for before visiting the dealership. We work with a wide range of lenders to find terms that fit your budget, whether you are looking for a traditional purchase or a flexible lease. Our dealership's community commitment means we treat every customer like a neighbor, providing honest advice on which financial path is right for you. We believe in transparency, providing the technical data you need to make an informed decision. By choosing a vehicle with high resale potential and securing competitive financing, you can enjoy the trails today while protecting your financial future. Deciding Between New and Used Ford Off-Road Inventory When shopping for an off-road vehicle, the choice between new and used often comes down to your priority for the latest technology versus immediate savings. A new 2026 model gives you access to the latest G.O.A.T. Modes and the full 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. However, our entire pre-owned inventory frequently includes late-model Broncos and Rangers that have already seen their initial depreciation but still offer years of reliable service. For the best of both worlds, many shoppers look at our certified pre-owned inventory. These vehicles must pass a rigorous 139-point inspection and come with a manufacturer-backed limited warranty and 24/7 roadside assistance. This is an excellent way to get into a high-trim vehicle like a Bronco Sport Badlands while staying within a specific budget. You can use our online payment calculator to compare the monthly costs of a new versus a certified pre-owned model. Whether you choose a new F-150 Raptor for its 12 inches of ground clearance or a used Bronco Sport for its 26 mpg combined rating, our team is here to ensure you find a vehicle that meets your needs. We pride ourselves on having a transparent process that respects your time and your lifestyle. Quick Answers for Ford Off-Road Shoppers Q: What is the maximum towing capacity for the 2026 Ford Bronco? When properly equipped, the 2026 Bronco can tow up to 4,500 lbs. This is sufficient for most small boats or utility trailers commonly used for recreation around Medina Lake. Q: Which Ford SUV offers the best fuel economy with off-road capability? The 2026 Ford Bronco Sport delivers an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city / 29 mpg highway. This makes it an ideal choice for drivers who want a capable 4WD system without the higher fuel costs of a full-size SUV. Q: Does the 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor include a warranty for off-road use? Yes, the Explorer Tremor is covered by the standard 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranties. While the warranty covers manufacturing defects, it is always important to follow the recommended guidelines for off-road operation. Q: Can I exchange my vehicle if it doesn't fit my lifestyle after purchase? Through our 3-day love it or exchange it program, we provide our customers with the flexibility to ensure they have truly found the right vehicle for their needs.

Si su estilo de vida incluye remolcar una casa rodante grande o un remolque de caballos, la Ford F-150 2026 es la reina indiscutible con una capacidad máxima de remolque de 13,500 lbs cuando está debidamente equipada con el motor 3.5L EcoBoost V6. Por otro lado, si sus aventuras consisten en llevar un par de motos de agua o un remolque pequeño para acampar, la Ford Explorer ofrece una capacidad de remolque de 5,000 lbs, lo cual es más que suficiente para la mayoría de las actividades recreativas familiares. Para ayudarle a decidir cuál se ajusta mejor a su presupuesto mensual, le recomendamos utilizar nuestra calculadora de pagos en línea. Una vez que tenga una idea clara, el siguiente paso es completar su solicitud de crédito para agilizar el proceso en la agencia. Ambas opciones cuentan con el sistema de tracción 4WD inteligente, pero la F-150 destaca por su Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, una tecnología que usa la cámara trasera y el radar para alinear automáticamente la bola de enganche con el remolque. En términos de carga útil, la caja de la F-150 es insuperable para transportar materiales de construcción o suministros para el rancho. Sin embargo, la Explorer protege su carga de las inclemencias del tiempo y del calor extremo de Texas dentro de su cabina climatizada con control de clima auxiliar trasero. Ya sea que priorice el volumen de carga abierto o el espacio protegido para pasajeros, Ford tiene una configuración diseñada específicamente para su rutina diaria. ​ Seguridad de vanguardia y tecnología Ford Co-Pilot360 para su tranquilidad La seguridad no es solo una estadística en un papel; es la certeza de que su familia llegará protegida a su destino. Tanto la F-150 como la Explorer han sido reconocidas por el IIHS como TOP SAFETY PICK, obteniendo calificaciones de Good en las pruebas de choque lateral y solapamiento frontal. Esto se debe en gran medida a la estructura de acero de alta resistencia y al conjunto de tecnologías Ford Co-Pilot360, que incluye de serie el frenado de emergencia automático y el asistente de mantenimiento de carril. Nuestra dedicación a su seguridad va más allá de la venta del vehículo. Al conocer nuestra historia, entenderá que para nosotros cada cliente es un vecino. Por eso siempre estamos buscando formas de darle más valor, como a través de nuestras ofertas especiales en piezas y servicios, asegurando que los componentes críticos como los frenos y las luces LED funcionen siempre a la perfección. La tecnología de monitoreo de punto ciego es especialmente útil en las carreteras del Condado de Medina, donde los cambios de carril a alta velocidad requieren una vigilancia constante. Además, la Ford Explorer 2026 incluye una pantalla táctil de 13.2 pulgadas que no solo sirve para el entretenimiento, sino que muestra una visión clara de 360 grados alrededor del SUV. En la F-150, el sistema de asistencia de frenado en reversa evita colisiones accidentales al estacionar en lugares estrechos o al salir de una entrada con poca visibilidad. Estas herramientas tecnológicas están diseñadas para reducir el estrés del conductor y permitir que usted se concentre en lo más importante: disfrutar el camino con sus seres queridos. ​ Preguntas frecuentes sobre los favoritos de Ford en Hondo Q: ¿Es la tercera fila de la Ford Explorer cómoda para adultos? La tercera fila ofrece unas 32 pulgadas de espacio para las piernas. Aunque es ideal para niños y adolescentes, puede acomodar a adultos de estatura media en trayectos cortos, especialmente si se aprovecha el ajuste de la segunda fila para ganar unos centímetros adicionales. Q: ¿Qué motor de la Ford F-150 es mejor para el ahorro de combustible en viajes largos? Si usted viaja frecuentemente por la Interestatal 35, el motor 2.7L EcoBoost V6 ofrece un excelente balance, pero muchos conductores prefieren la F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid por su capacidad de operar en modo eléctrico en condiciones de carga ligera, optimizando cada gota de combustible. Q: ¿Cuánto tiempo puede durar una Ford Explorer con el mantenimiento adecuado? Con el cuidado correcto, es común ver camionetas Ford Explorer superando las 150,000 o incluso las 200,000 millas. La clave está en seguir las recomendaciones del fabricante y utilizar piezas originales para asegurar la longevidad de los componentes internos. Q: ¿Qué opciones tengo si busco un vehículo Ford usado o certificado? Contamos con una amplia variedad de opciones que incluyen SUVs seminuevos, trocas usadas de todo tipo y sedanes económicos.

Deciding on a new half-ton pickup for the job site often comes down to how much real-world utility you can squeeze out of a single vehicle. For crews operating around Hondo, the choice between the 2026 Ford F-150 and the Ram 1500 involves looking past the chrome and focusing on which frame can handle the heat and the heavy lifting. We see many local business owners weighing these two options, specifically looking for a truck that won't quit when the ambient temperature climbs or the trailer load hits its limit. more Continue reading... The 2026 Ford F-150 arrives with a clear focus on being a mobile office and a power station. While the Ram 1500 is often praised for its ride quality, the F-150 is built to be a tool first. Navigating these configurations is easier with local support, and for our neighbors who prefer to talk shop in Spanish, hablamos Español en Cecil Atkission Ford Hondo to ensure every detail of your fleet needs is covered. Whether you are managing a single ranch or a growing construction crew, the right truck is the one that minimizes downtime. If you are ready to see how these trucks handle a Texas work week, our dealership location is easy to find right on 19th St. We recommend giving us (830) 426-5391 a quick call to check which work-ready trims we have on the lot before you head over. Table of Contents Towing and Payload Capabilities for South Texas Ranching Pro Power Onboard and Mobile Workstation Features in the F-150 RamBox Storage vs Ford Bed Utility for Tools and Equipment Long-Term Reliability and Maintenance for Commercial Fleet Use Comparing Warranty Coverage and Ford Roadside Assistance Benefits Quick Answers Before You Visit Towing and Payload Capabilities for South Texas Ranching Ranch work near Lakehills requires a truck that can pull a loaded horse trailer or haul a pallet of feed without breaking a sweat. The 2026 Ford F-150 sets a high bar here with a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 lbs when you opt for the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and the necessary Tow/Haul Package. In comparison, the 2026 Ram 1500 reaches a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 lbs. That difference of nearly 2,000 lbs can be the deciding factor when you're moving heavy equipment between properties. Dimensions & Capacity Feature Standard across all trims Seating Capacity 5 Length 213.2 Width 79.9 Height 77 Payload is another area where the F-150 shows its strength. With a maximum available payload of 2,440 lbs, the Ford outmuscles the Ram 1500, which offers a maximum payload of 2,360 lbs. To get those peak numbers in the F-150, you generally look at a Regular Cab configuration with the 8-ft bed. We carry a wide variety of these setups in our new-vehicle inventory, ranging from the entry-level XL starting at $49,116 to the more feature-heavy XLT at $65,271. These trucks represent significant investments in your livelihood. That is why we offer the Cecil Advantage, which includes a 3-Day Love It or Exchange It Program to make sure the truck you pick actually fits your barn or your trailer hitch. To keep your rig running right after a long season of hauling, you can also take advantage of our service and parts specials for routine maintenance. Pro Power Onboard and Mobile Workstation Features in the F-150 One of the most frequent questions I hear from contractors is how to keep tools charged when the job site doesn't have a temporary pole set up yet. This is where Pro Power Onboard gives the F-150 a distinct edge. When equipped with the 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid powertrain, the F-150 can provide up to 7.2 kW of exportable power. This can run miter saws, air compressors, and even a small welder directly from the bed outlets. Engine & Performance Powertrain specifications across trim levels Feature XL STX Police Responder XLT Lariat Tremor King Ranch Raptor Platinum Engine 5.0L V8 5.0L V8 3.5L V6 5.0L V8 3.5L V6 3.5L V6 3.5L V6 5.2L V8 3.5L V6 Standard across all trims: Feature Included Transmission Automatic Drivetrain 4WD Inside the cabin, the F-150 is designed to function as a mobile office. The available Interior Work Surface allows the gear shifter to fold flat, creating a large, level space perfect for a laptop or signing paperwork. While the Ram 1500 offers a comfortable cabin, the Ford's Pro Access Tailgate—which features a swing-out door for easier bed access while hitched—provides a specific mechanical advantage for daily labor. You can explore these features in our new Ford F-150 inventory to see which cab style works best for your mobile office needs. For those who need a reliable truck but are looking at different price points, we also maintain a diverse selection of all pre-owned inventory. Whether new or used, keeping your workstation on wheels in top shape is easy when you use our online service scheduler to book your next oil change or multi-point inspection. RamBox Storage vs Ford Bed Utility for Tools and Equipment The choice between these two systems depends on whether you prioritize side-rail bins or total bed versatility. Ram offers the RamBox Cargo Management System, which places lockable, drainable storage bins into the side rails of the truck bed. It is a convenient solution for smaller tools or wet gear. However, Ford approaches bed utility through sheer versatility and volume. The F-150 bed features available LED box lighting, integrated tie-down cleats, and the Tailgate Step with Work Surface, which includes integrated rulers and a place to secure clamps. For heavy-duty users in Dunlay who find themselves outgrowing a half-ton, we often point them toward our new Super Duty selection or even our heavy-duty truck inventory for maximum bed and towing capacity. No matter which size you choose, the Ford App allows you to monitor your truck's health and even control the exterior zone lighting from your phone, which is a lifesaver when you're finishing up a job after sunset. If your work requires a different type of vehicle altogether, we also have new Ford SUVs for supervisors or new Mustang models for those who want something a bit faster for the weekend. Ford owners also enjoy exclusive owner benefits that help track service history and earn rewards points for every visit to our shop. Long-Term Reliability and Maintenance for Commercial Fleet Use Maintaining a fleet of trucks requires a focus on uptime and parts availability. The F-150 has a long-standing reputation for longevity, supported by a massive nationwide network of service centers and a readily available parts ecosystem. For businesses that do their own basic maintenance, you can order genuine Ford parts directly through us to ensure your 5.0L V8 or 3.5L V6 stays in peak condition. Warranty Factory warranty coverage Coverage Duration Basic 3 years / 36,000 miles (bumper-to-bumper) Powertrain 5 years / 60,000 miles (powertrain) Corrosion 5 years / unlimited miles (corrosion—sheet metal/perforation only excluding aluminum) Roadside Assistance 5 years / 60,000 miles (Roadside Assistance Program) The Ram 1500 has made strides in initial quality, but the F-150 remains a benchmark for long-term work truck use, specifically regarding the durability of its high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body which is naturally resistant to rust. When you are ready to expand your fleet, our finance center can walk you through commercial lending options that fit your business's cash flow. Our dealership has a long history of serving this community, and we understand that a truck is more than just a ride—it's a partner in your business. We focus on providing straightforward information so you can make the best decision for your bottom line without the corporate jargon. Comparing Warranty Coverage and Ford Roadside Assistance Benefits The 2026 Ford F-150 comes with a comprehensive warranty package designed to give you peace of mind on the road. This includes a 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Additionally, Ford provides a 5-year / unlimited-mile corrosion warranty for sheet metal and perforation. Ram offers a similar 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, though they have recently offered a 10-year / 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty on select models, which is worth comparing if you plan to keep the truck for a decade. One major advantage for Ford owners is the Roadside Assistance Program, which is included for 5 years or 60,000 miles. If you find yourself with a flat tire or a dead battery near Lytle, you can reach Ford Roadside Assistance: 1-800-241-3673 for manufacturer-backed support. This service ensures that if your truck needs a tow, it goes to an authorized Ford service center where genuine parts are used. To get started on your purchase, you can submit a credit application online to save time at the dealership. If you're still crunching the numbers, our online payment calculator is a great tool to see how different down payments affect your monthly budget. Don't forget that the Cecil Advantage adds another layer of protection to your investment, ensuring you stay happy with your truck long after you leave the lot. Quick Answers Before You Visit Q: Which truck has a higher maximum towing capacity for 2026? The 2026 Ford F-150 leads in this category with a maximum towing capacity of 13,500 lbs when properly equipped with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6. The 2026 Ram 1500 has a maximum towing capacity of 11,610 lbs, making the Ford the stronger choice for heavy trailers. Q: Can I run power tools from the bed of these trucks? Yes, the Ford F-150 offers Pro Power Onboard, which provides up to 7.2 kW of usable electricity on hybrid models, enough to power a whole job site of tools. While the Ram 1500 has traditional outlets, it does not currently offer a comparable integrated generator system with that level of output. Q: Is there a specific trim designed just for work? The XL trim for the F-150 and the Tradesman trim for the Ram 1500 are the primary work-oriented configurations. The F-150 XL starts at $49,116 and comes standard with the 5.0L V8 and 4WD, providing the essential durability and power needed for commercial use. Q: How does the Ford Roadside Assistance work? Ford Roadside Assistance is included for 5 years or 60,000 miles and covers things like flat tires, fuel delivery, and towing to the nearest Ford dealership. You can call them directly at 1-800-241-3673 for help anywhere in the country. Q: What is the benefit of the Pro Access Tailgate? The Pro Access Tailgate on the F-150 features a 100-degree swing-out door. This allows you to get closer to the bed and reach your gear even when a trailer is hitched, which is often difficult with a traditional fold-down tailgate. Choosing the right truck for your business is a big decision, and we are here to make it easier. Whether you're looking at our newest F-150 models or exploring pre-owned options, our team is ready to help. You can get directions to our Hondo showroom or give us a call at (830) 426-5391 to schedule your test drive today. © 2026 Cecil Atkission Ford. All rights reserved.

Q: Jarrod, with the arrival of the 2026 Ford F-150, how does this model year continue the legacy of the F-Series while introducing new value for our local drivers? A: The 2026 Ford F-150 serves as a versatile tool for those living and working in the Hondo region. We see a lot of multi-generational Ford families coming through our doors who expect a truck that can handle a ranching workload in the morning and a family dinner in the evening. This year, Ford has refined the lineup to ensure there is a specific fit for everyone, from the work-ready XL starting at $49,116 to the high-performance Raptor. Engineering remains focused on durability and smart utility for those looking for new Ford trucks for the job site or a versatile family vehicle. A: Our dealership serves as a hub for the community, and we make sure our services reflect that. For our Spanish-speaking neighbors, hablamos Español en Cecil Atkission Ford Hondo to ensure every customer feels comfortable and informed during their visit. Drivers can utilize the Ford App to manage vehicle health and remote features.

We even have a diverse selection for those interested in new Ford SUVs or the new Ford Mustang inventory. A: The Ford owner benefits include a robust Roadside Assistance Program for 5 years or 60,000 miles. If you have questions about specific configurations or want to check our current new Ford F-150 inventory, feel free to give our team (830) 426-5391 a quick call. We also stock new Ford Super Duty trucks and new Ford heavy duty trucks for those who need the absolute maximum towing capacity for industrial or heavy agricultural applications. Q: What defines the core capability of the 2026 Ford F-150 when it comes to the actual numbers and performance on the road? A: Ford has engineered the 2026 model to deliver a Best-in-Class Max Available Payload of 2,440 lbs and a Best-in-Class Max Available Torque of 640 lb-ft. For those who do a lot of heavy lifting, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 allows for a maximum towing capacity of up to 13,500 lbs when properly equipped. Even the legendary 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 offers a massive 12,800-lb towing limit. We make sure our current new-vehicle inventory reflects all these different power levels. A: The Pro Power Onboard system provides up to 7.2 kW of usable power directly from the bed. This means you can run power tools at a remote site or keep a campsite powered without a noisy external generator. When customers come in to see us, we walk them through the Cecil Advantage, which includes our commitment to finding the exact spec that matches these needs. Every 4WD system and 10-speed automatic transmission is designed to perform reliably for the life of the truck. A: Owners can use our online service scheduler to keep their F-150 in peak condition. Whether it is a routine oil change or a more complex inspection of the Automatic transmission, our factory-trained technicians know these trucks inside and out. Many owners from the surrounding rural areas rely on their trucks for daily survival, and we take that responsibility very seriously. Q: Jarrod, many of our customers are increasingly concerned about rising fuel costs. How does the fuel efficiency of the 2026 F-150 compare across its various engine options? A: That is a conversation I have almost every day. The 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 offers an EPA-estimated 25 mpg combined on 4x2 models. Even with 4WD, the hybrid remains remarkably efficient for a full-size pickup. For those sticking with traditional gas engines, the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and the 5.0L V8 both offer 19 city / 24 hwy mpg. These numbers make the F-150 a very viable daily driver for commuters who live in the quieter parts of the county. A: At our finance center, our team can help you calculate how these fuel savings impact your monthly budget over the long term. If a brand-new model isn't in the cards, we always have a robust selection of pre-owned inventory that includes late-model F-150s with excellent efficiency ratings. We provide transparency so you can make an informed decision based on your actual driving habits, whether you are doing short trips in town or long hauls across the state. A: Aerodynamic improvements on the STX or XLT trims might be more beneficial for highway driving than the heavy-duty cooling systems found on the Tremor. We look at the 24 hwy mpg of the XL and compare it to the specific needs of your commute to find the right balance of power and economy. Our expert staff provides recommendations based on the specific performance data for each configuration. "After fifteen years, the question I get most often is the one nobody asks until they're already in the car: how does this truck actually make my life easier on a Tuesday morning?" Q: What is the price range for the 2026 trim levels, and how do you help customers find the best value proposition for their budget? A: The 2026 Ford F-150 lineup starts with the XL at $49,116, providing a solid foundation for work. From there, the STX at $51,983 adds the STX Appearance Package. The mainstream XLT comes in at $65,271, and the Lariat starts at $74,568. We even have specialized models like the Police Responder at $56,475 and the off-road Tremor at $74,652. The range tops out over $85,000 for the most advanced luxury and performance configurations. A: Our website provides a contact our finance team for current payment options to help you see how different trim prices fit into your monthly finances. Through our community commitment, we focus on building long-term relationships with our neighbors. Whether you are looking at a base XL or a fully loaded Platinum, we treat every customer with the same level of respect and transparency. A: Owners can order genuine Ford parts through our department to add specific utility later. Features like the Tailgate Step with Work Surface or Skid Plates can be added to enhance your truck's capability without needing to jump to a much higher trim level initially. We help you look at the Equipment Group 103A or the Connectivity Package to see which options actually add value to your specific daily routine. Q: Jarrod, how do the safety features and Ford Co-Pilot360 technology work in real-world scenarios, especially for families? A: The 2026 model earned a "G" for Good in side crash tests and front overlap protection. The Ford Co-Pilot360 technology includes standard automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. These systems provide automated support when driving through a sudden South Texas rainstorm. The headlights also received a "G" rating, which is crucial for navigating unlit rural roads safely at night. A: We offer our 3-day love it or exchange it program to ensure you are satisfied with your cab style and safety package. For those looking for high-quality alternatives, we also maintain a great selection of pre-owned SUVs that feature similar advanced safety suites. Our goal is to ensure that every driver leaving our lot is protected by the best technology available today. A: You can submit a credit application online to speed up the process. Advanced safety features are integrated into the standard trims to remain accessible for local families. Every new F-150 includes a 3-year / 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty for long-term peace of mind. Q: Why should a driver in Lakehills choose the F-150 over a competitor like the Ram 1500? A: Drivers near Medina Lake frequently tow boats or navigate rolling Hill Country terrain. The F-150 offers a maximum payload of 2,440 lbs, which exceeds the 1,910-lb maximum payload of the Ram 1500. Furthermore, Ford's 10-speed automatic is specifically tuned to handle the constant shifting required by our local hills. The Pro Access Tailgate is another exclusive feature that makes life much easier when you are hitched to a trailer at the boat ramp. A: You can learn more about our story and why we believe so strongly in the Ford brand. These trucks hold their value over time, which is why our certified pre-owned inventory is always in high demand. While we do carry a variety of vehicles, including pre-owned coupes, the F-150 remains the backbone of our dealership because it outworks the competition in our local environment. Q: What are the common maintenance requirements for the 2026 F-150, and how can owners manage long-term costs? A: Standard requirements for the 2026 F-150 include regular oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections. Because many of our trucks in Dunlay are used on farms and dusty ranch roads, we often recommend more frequent air filter changes to protect the engine. Following the manufacturer's schedule ensures your 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty remains fully intact. The corrosion warranty covers sheet metal for 5 years and unlimited miles, which is a great benefit for trucks that see a lot of mud and water. A: We frequently offer service and parts specials to help keep maintenance costs down. You can visit our Hondo service center for expert care. If you ever have a question about a specific sound or a dashboard light, just give us (830) 426-5391 a quick call.

We invite you to visit Cecil Atkission Ford in Hondo to experience these features firsthand. Our expert team is ready to help you navigate the various trim levels, explore our extensive inventory, and find the perfect F-150 that fits your lifestyle and budget. © 2026 Cecil Atkission Ford.

The 2026 Ford Maverick is the pickup itself, while the 2.0L EcoBoost is one of the distinct heartbeats available under its hood. This distinction is the first thing we clarify for neighbors visiting from Lakehills who are looking for a truck that fits into a standard garage while still handling weekend hauls. Ford’s legacy of building "Tough" is evident here, as this compact pickup offers two very different personalities based on the powertrain you select. Whether you prioritize the maximum efficiency of the hybrid or the punchy acceleration of the turbo, our new Ford trucks provide the versatility needed for both the job site and the school drop-off line. more Continue reading... For those who spend their days commuting toward San Antonio, the standard hybrid system is often the primary draw, but the 2.0L EcoBoost engine is the choice for drivers who need a bit more grit for towing. Local ranchers and small business owners often compare these options side-by-side on our lot. If you have questions about which setup handles the heat and terrain of South Texas better, you can always reach our expert staff at (830) 426-5391 for a direct answer. Our team takes pride in our community commitment, ensuring every driver finds the right fit, whether that is a fuel-sipping daily driver or one of our new Ford Super Duty trucks for much heavier tasks. To see the 2026 Maverick in person, our Hondo showroom is easy to find right on 19th Street. We also recommend setting up the Ford App to stay connected to your vehicle’s health and access Ford owner benefits like remote start and maintenance rewards.

Table of Contents Mechanical Breakdown of the 2.0L EcoBoost and 2.5L Hybrid Powertrains Towing Limits and Practical Utility for Hill Country Workloads Navigating the 2026 Maverick Trim Levels and Configuration Options Real World Efficiency and Performance Comparisons with the Hyundai Santa Cruz Quick Answers Before You Visit Experience the 2026 Maverick at Cecil Atkission Ford Mechanical Breakdown of the 2.0L EcoBoost and 2.5L Hybrid Powertrains The engineering behind the 2026 Maverick allows it to serve two masters: fuel economy and raw capability. The available 2.0L EcoBoost I4 engine produces 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, providing a significantly more athletic feel during highway passing. This turbocharged unit is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, though the performance-oriented Lobo trim utilizes a specialized 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters for a more engaged driving experience. On the other side of the coin, the standard 2.5L PowerBoost hybrid system delivers a combined 191 hp through a Power-Split Electric CVT. Engine & Performance Powertrain specifications across trim levels Feature XL XLT Lobo Standard Lariat Lobo Premium Tremor Engine 2.5L I4 2.5L I4 2.0L I4 2.5L I4 2.0L I4 2.0L I4 Transmission Automatic CVT Automatic CVT Automatic Automatic Standard across all trims: Drivetrain 4WD Warranty Factory warranty coverage Coverage Duration Basic 3 years / 36,000 miles (New Vehicle Limited Warranty) Corrosion Rust damage/perforation: 5 years / unlimited miles; Corrosion without perforation (body sheet metal): covered by New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 3 years / 36,000 miles; Corrosion on aluminum panels: 5 years / unlimited miles (no requirement for perforation). While the hybrid is standard on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, the 2.0L EcoBoost is required for the Tremor and both Lobo variants. Every model in our current new-vehicle inventory for the 2026 model year features a 4WD drivetrain as standard, which is a major win for drivers in Dunlay who frequently deal with unpaved ranch roads or muddy fields after a South Texas rain. The hybrid's 40 city / 34 hwy MPG rating is a game-changer for those watching their monthly overhead, while the EcoBoost is the go-to for those who value the 250 hp output for more demanding drives. To help you decide which mechanical setup fits your life, we offer the Cecil Advantage, which includes our 3-day love it or exchange it program. We want you to be certain that your powertrain choice handles your specific commute perfectly. Before you head out, be sure to check our service and parts specials to see how we help keep these advanced engines running at peak performance for years to come. Towing Limits and Practical Utility for Hill Country Workloads Towing is where the 2.0L EcoBoost truly separates itself from the hybrid powertrain. When equipped with the available 4K Tow Package, the EcoBoost-powered Maverick can pull up to 4,000 lbs, effectively doubling the 2,000-lb limit found on the standard hybrid models. This extra capacity is vital if you are hauling a small horse trailer, a pair of ATVs, or a utility trailer full of cedar posts. The 4K Tow Package also includes essential hardware like a trailer brake controller and upgraded cooling, ensuring the truck remains composed even when the mercury rises in Hondo. Practicality extends to the bed, which Ford calls the FLEXBED. It offers about 33 cubic feet of cargo volume and a 1,500-lb payload capacity across both engine types. For residents in Lakehills, the proximity to Medina Lake means many buyers are looking for a truck that can easily launch a jet ski or small fishing boat. The 4,000 lbs max towing capacity makes the EcoBoost the clear winner for lake weekends. If your needs are more modest, such as hauling mulch or DIY supplies, the hybrid's payload remains identical, proving that "small" doesn't mean "weak."

Navigating the 2026 Maverick Trim Levels and Configuration Options Choosing a trim level often dictates which engine you’ll have under the hood. The lineup begins with the XL, which starts at $30,835 and serves as a rugged, no-nonsense work tool. Moving up to the XLT at $35,538 adds better materials and more storage solutions, while the Lariat at $41,311 brings a more premium feel with enhanced tech and comfort features. Both the Tremor and the Lobo trims are purpose-built; the Tremor ( $43,835) is geared for off-road enthusiasts with a specialized suspension, while the Lobo Standard ( $37,990) and Lobo Premium ( $43,465) focus on street performance and "on-road" handling. Pricing MSRP and destination charges Feature XL XLT Lobo Standard Lariat Lobo Premium Tremor Starting MSRP $30,835 $35,538 $37,990 $41,311 $43,465 $43,835 Lowest starting MSRP: XL at $30,835 For 2026, Ford reintroduced the 2.0L EcoBoost FWD configuration for the base XL, but most trims remain 4WD. New colors like Marsh Gray and Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat allow for more personalization, especially for those who want their truck to stand out at local community events. Inside, every model now includes a standard Ford Connectivity Package with a one-year subscription, keeping you in touch with your business or family while on the move.

Real World Efficiency and Performance Comparisons with the Hyundai Santa Cruz When comparing the 2026 Maverick to its closest rival, the Hyundai Santa Cruz, the differences in efficiency are stark. The Maverick Hybrid is EPA-rated at 42 mpg city / 35 mpg highway with FWD, whereas the Santa Cruz's 2.5L engine delivers 22 mpg city / 26 mpg highway. Even the Maverick EcoBoost holds its own, returning roughly 23 mpg city / 30 mpg highway in FWD configurations. While the Santa Cruz offers a higher maximum tow rating of 5,000 lbs, the Maverick is often seen as the more "truck-like" option, featuring a more traditional bed design and better factory equipment for towing, such as the integrated trailer brake controller. The Maverick's unibody construction provides a ride quality similar to a crossover, making it much easier to handle on the I-35 commute than a traditional full-size pickup. However, it doesn't sacrifice the "Built Ford Tough" DNA. For drivers in Lytle, the Maverick's compact footprint makes it a breeze to park at local shops while still providing the 1,500 lbs of payload capacity needed for a trip to the hardware store. It strikes a balance that the Santa Cruz struggles to match, particularly for those who value the heritage of a Ford truck. If you're ready to make the switch to a more efficient pickup, you can contact our finance center for current financing options to get the process started before you even leave the house. We also provide a payment calculator so you can see how the different trim prices impact your monthly budget. Our goal is to provide a straightforward, honest buying experience that reflects our role as a trusted neighbor in the Hondo community. Quick Answers Before You Visit Q: Does the 2.0L EcoBoost require premium fuel for the 2026 Maverick? While the 2.0L EcoBoost can run on regular unleaded gasoline, using premium fuel is recommended to achieve the full 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque ratings. For daily driving around Hondo, regular is perfectly fine, but for heavy towing, the higher octane can help the engine perform at its absolute best. Q: Can I get the Hybrid powertrain with All-Wheel Drive in 2026? Yes, for the 2026 model year, the 2.5L PowerBoost hybrid is available with 4WD, which was a highly requested feature for our local drivers who wanted both maximum MPG and extra traction for wet weather. This configuration is available on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. Q: What is the benefit of the Lobo trim's 7-speed transmission over the standard 8-speed? The Lobo trim uses a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters that is tuned specifically for street performance. It provides quicker shifts and a "Lobo Mode" that adjusts torque distribution to improve cornering, making it the most "fun-to-drive" version of the Maverick for those who enjoy a sportier feel on the road. Q: How does the Maverick’s warranty protect my investment? Every new Maverick comes with a 3-year / 36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and a 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Additionally, the hybrid components are covered for 8 years / 100,000 miles, and there is a 5-year / unlimited mile warranty against rust perforation, which is great peace of mind for long-term owners. Q: Is Ford Roadside Assistance included with the 2026 Maverick? Yes, Ford provides Roadside Assistance for 5 years or 60,000 miles. This covers services like flat tire changes, jump starts, and towing to the nearest Ford dealership. If you ever find yourself in need, you can contact Ford Roadside Assistance: 1-800-241-3673 for manufacturer-backed support. Experience the 2026 Maverick at Cecil Atkission Ford Choosing between the high-efficiency hybrid and the high-output 2.0L EcoBoost comes down to how you plan to use your truck every day. If your life involves heavy commuting and light chores, the hybrid's 42 mpg city rating is hard to beat. However, if you have a trailer to pull or simply prefer the 250 hp punch of a turbocharged engine, the EcoBoost is the clear choice. We invite you to visit our Hondo showroom to test drive both versions and feel the difference for yourself. Our team is here to help you through every step of the journey, from picking the right trim to long-term maintenance.

Most trims, including the Active, ST-LINE, and Platinum, come standard with the 2.3L I4 EcoBoost engine. This turbocharged four-cylinder produces 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, providing more low-end grunt than the 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque found in the Traverse's 2.5L turbo engine.

This engine delivers 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. It transforms the Explorer into a ferocious family hauler capable of pinning you to your seat. Every model in the lineup utilizes a smooth-shifting Automatic transmission and comes standard with 4WD for maximum grip on unpredictable Texas roads.

The 2026 Explorer introduces the Tremor trim, a dedicated off-road model that features an off-road tuned suspension that raises ground clearance to about 9 inches, underbody protection, and a Torsen limited-slip rear axle. It even includes a specialized Baja drive mode and High-Performance Off-road Stability systems to maintain composure when the pavement ends. Dimensions & Capacity Feature Standard across all trims Seating Capacity 7 Length 198.8 Width 78.9 Height 71 The 2026 Ford Explorer is certified to tow up to 5,000 lb when properly equipped. This capacity is standard across much of the lineup, allowing you to haul a boat or a horse trailer through the rolling hills of the transition zone without breaking a sweat. While the Traverse can match the 5,000-lb max rating on certain configurations, the Explorer’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 provides the extra torque needed to make towing feel effortless on steep grades. To find a vehicle that has already proven its mettle, you can look through the pre-owned inventory for late-model Explorers with tow packages.

The 2026 Ford Explorer is designed to avoid that frustration with a standard three-row layout that seats up to 7 passengers. While the Traverse is physically larger, the Explorer makes better use of its footprint for those who prioritize maneuverability. You’ll find about 18 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which expands to a massive 85 cubic feet when you fold the rear seats flat. The cabin has been significantly upgraded for 2026, featuring a 13.2-inch touchscreen and the Ford Digital Experience.

The Active trim with the 2.3L I4 and 4WD achieves 20 city / 27 hwy MPG. Even the high-performance ST with the 3.0L V6 maintains a respectable 18 city / 25 hwy MPG.

Both vehicles are rated for a maximum of 5,000 lb when properly equipped. However, the Explorer’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 provides significantly more torque (415 lb-ft), which often makes for a more confident towing experience when pulling heavy loads up steep grades or merging into fast-moving traffic. Q: Does the 2026 Ford Explorer offer hands-free driving like the Traverse? Yes, the Explorer features Ford BlueCruise, which allows for hands-free driving on over 130,000 miles of North American highways. The 2026 version includes Automatic Lane Change, which can execute a lane swap simply by tapping the turn signal stalk while the system is active. Q: What are the main differences between the Explorer Tremor and the Traverse Z71? The Explorer Tremor is built for more technical off-roading, featuring an off-road tuned suspension with an extra inch of ground clearance, steel skid plates, and a Torsen limited-slip rear axle. The Traverse Z71 is a capable soft-roader, but it lacks the specialized Baja drive mode and heavy-duty underbody protection found on the Ford. Q: Is there a hybrid version of the 2026 Ford Explorer available?

It starts with the TurboMax 4-cylinder engine, producing 310 horsepower and a substantial 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. For heavier duties, the Silverado offers a 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel inline-six, delivering 305 horsepower and a commanding 495 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission. This diesel option stands out for its towing prowess and fuel efficiency, making it a solid choice for heavy trailer work in communities like Lytle or Uvalde. Performance-wise, the F-150’s hybrid powertrain gives it an edge in blending strong output with improved fuel economy, particularly beneficial for those balancing work and daily driving.

Off-Road Capabilities and Performance Features of the Ford Bronco The Ford Bronco stands out in the off-road SUV segment by combining rugged durability with advanced technology designed to tackle demanding terrain. Its off-road prowess starts with the available Sasquatch Package, which equips the Bronco with 35-inch all-terrain tires, beadlock-capable wheels, and high-clearance suspension. This package significantly enhances ground clearance to 11.6 inches, allowing drivers to navigate rocky paths and uneven trails common around Lakehills and Pipe Creek with confidence. Under the hood, the Bronco offers a choice of capable engines, including a 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4 and a more powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, both paired with either a 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission. This flexibility caters to both traditionalists who prefer manual control and those who want smooth, precise shifts during challenging climbs or descents. The manual transmission model also features a unique crawler gear, providing ultra-low speeds for delicate maneuvering over technical obstacles, a feature particularly appreciated by off-road enthusiasts in Dunlay and Devine. The Bronco’s Advanced 4x4 system includes automatic on-demand engagement, which adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear axles based on traction needs. Alongside this, front and rear locking differentials, hill start assist, and a disconnecting front sway bar offer enhanced control and stability on steep inclines and muddy surfaces. The terrain management system, branded as G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Terrain), lets drivers select settings optimized for sand, mud, rock crawling, or snow, adapting throttle response, transmission behavior, and traction control to the environment. Durability is reinforced by full steel bash plates protecting vital components like the fuel tank and transfer case, ensuring resilience during rough rides in places like Lytle’s rugged backcountry. Additionally, tow hooks on both front and rear provide recovery options when adventures push the limits. Keeping maintenance simple and reliable, Cecil Atkission Ford offers genuine replacement parts through our Order Parts department, ensuring your Bronco stays ready for any trail. For those considering ownership, the Cecil Advantage program highlights comprehensive support tailored for Bronco drivers who demand both performance and peace of mind.

Together, these features make the Ford Bronco a versatile and dependable choice for off-road enthusiasts across Texas. Comparing the Ford Bronco’s Towing Capacity and Transmission Choices The 2026 Ford Bronco delivers a towing capability that suits a wide range of outdoor and work needs, making it a strong contender for adventure seekers across Texas. Most Bronco models can tow up to 3,500 pounds, a figure that comfortably handles trailers, boats, or small campers common in areas like Lakehills and Castroville. The standout Bronco Raptor elevates towing capacity to 4,500 pounds, offering extra muscle for heavier loads without sacrificing off-road agility. When comparing to competitors like the Jeep Wrangler, the Bronco generally provides more robust towing, reflecting Ford’s commitment to rugged utility paired with everyday versatility. This advantage supports Texans who demand both trail toughness and payload strength for their active lifestyles. Transmission options enhance the Bronco’s appeal, with both automatic and manual choices available on select trims. The manual transmission option, favored by enthusiasts in places like Uvalde and Pleasanton, offers a hands-on driving experience with a six-speed gearbox and a unique crawler gear for precise control on rough terrain. Meanwhile, the 10-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and improved fuel efficiency, ideal for daily driving or longer highway runs. These transmission choices, combined with tailored towing capacities, allow Bronco owners to customize their vehicle according to their specific needs—whether that’s navigating technical hill country trails near Bandera or hauling gear for outdoor excursions in Devine.
