2026 Ford Mustang Pickup Truck. After years of whispers and those wild AI renders floating around online, Ford finally pulled the curtain back on this beast last month. It’s not just another F-150 clone—it’s got that iconic Mustang snarl mixed with real truck grit. As someone who’s spent way too many hours geeking out over car specs, I can tell you this one’s got people talking. Let’s dive into what makes it tick, from its head-turning looks to the wallet hit. Buckle up.
Design
Right off the bat, the design screams Mustang, but with a twist that says “I can work too.” Ford kept the long hood and that aggressive front end you love from the coupe—think the signature pony grille that’s wider and meaner, flanked by slim LED headlights that slice through the night like knives. The body lines flow smooth back to a short bed, about five feet long, so it doesn’t lose that sporty coupe profile. It’s built on a tweaked version of the Mustang’s rear-wheel-drive platform, but beefed up for truck duties with flared fenders and 20-inch wheels wrapped in chunky tires.
Features
Inside and out, this pickup packs smarts and muscle in equal measure. The cabin feels more like a Mustang GT than a work truck: leather buckets up front with bolsters that hug you in corners, a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara, and ambient lights that shift colors with your drive mode. The dash? Dominated by a 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster and a massive 13.2-inch touchscreen running Ford’s SYNC 5 system. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and over-the-air updates mean you’re always connected—stream your playlist while towing, no sweat.
Price
Let’s talk money, because dreams like this don’t come cheap—but they’re not bank-breakers either. The base EcoBoost model kicks off around $45,000, which gets you solid power and all the essentials without the fluff. Step up to the GT V8 trim, and you’re looking at $58,000 to $62,000, depending on how many boxes you check like that panoramic roof or premium audio. A rumored hybrid variant might slot in at $52,000, blending efficiency with grunt.
Mileage
In a world where trucks guzzle gas like it’s going out of style, the Mustang Pickup tries to play nice. The base 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder sips about 20 mpg combined—decent for something that hits 60 mph in under six seconds. That’s city/highway split of 18/24, so it’ll handle commutes without constant pump stops. The GT’s 5.0-liter V8 drops to 16 mpg combined (14/20 split), but hey, that rumble’s worth it for weekend warriors.
