2026 STX Lightning announced

Ford has announced a new trim in the Lighting line for 2026. It should be available early 2026
. From what I deduced it will replace the XLT Lightning.

I absolutely LOVE it. The content, the paint color, the graphics, it's nearly perfect. If I had known that was coming, I 100% would have signed a written deal and put money down on the exact truck they show in this article while the tax rebate is still available instead of leasing the Flash I got a few weeks back. Oh well....

You can't order it just yet so no tax credit. It's a NEXT YEAR OFFERING
Per the announcement:
F-150 Lightning STX will begin arriving at dealers early in 2026
The new optional colors for 2026; Argon Blue is definitely a nice color.

Well of course it will "arrive at dealers early in 2026" if a guy places an order now. That's standard practice. And the rebate is good as long as a contract is signed and deposit changes hands. So I bet a guy could go to a dealer right now and sign up for one of these with the rebate. But he'd have to do it SOON.
