Most full-size pickups spend their lives commuting, hauling mulch, and dodging shopping carts, but the off-road look and feel is still a big part of why people buy them. That’s exactly the space the 2026 Roush Ford F-150 slides into, serving as a serious alternative to Ford’s own F-150 Tremor. Roush leans into the idea of a truck that looks ready for the dirt while also adding the kind of ride comfort and hardware upgrades you can appreciate every day, even if your “trail” is mostly potholes and rough pavement.
The heart of the package is a custom-tuned Roush Performance coil-over suspension that lifts the truck by two inches, giving it a taller stance and a bit more breathing room when the terrain gets uneven. From there, it’s the right mix of attitude and function: 20-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch General Grabber A/TX tires, plus a Roush Performance cat-back exhaust to give the F-150 a more purposeful sound. The exterior changes do a lot of the talking too, with a redesigned grille, fender flares with accent lighting, hood heat extractors, and a revised front bumper cover that makes the truck look like it means business.
Inside, Roush keeps things subtle but special in the way enthusiasts usually prefer. You get aluminum pedal covers, a serialized dash badge, custom molded floor liners, and Roush touches that show up on the key fobs, hitch cover, and puddle lamps. Step up to the Premium Package and the truck gets even more utility-forward, adding amber auxiliary lighting up front and white lighting out back, along with an active exhaust system for the cat-back. There’s also an overhead auxiliary switch panel for your accessories, and carbon-fiber trim to elevate the cabin, with interior themes offered in Coffee Brown and Black or Raven Black.
Roush is offering the 2026 F-150 build on XLT and Lariat trims, spread across eight color choices, so it’s not locked into one narrow configuration. Pricing is straightforward: the Base package adds $18,995 over the truck’s MSRP, while the Premium Package bumps that to $24,995. For buyers who like the Tremor idea but want a different flavor of upgraded suspension, bolder styling, and a more bespoke cabin, this Roush setup looks like a compelling way to get a factory-fresh truck that feels anything but ordinary.
