To assist with professional tasks, the TOW/HAUL PACKAGE includes a Class IV tow rating, Trailer sway control, and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, making it easier than ever to hook up a trailer for a weekend project or a trip to the lake.
Technology & Connectivity
Staying connected while traversing the rural stretches between Kingsley, MI and the bay is effortless thanks to the SYNC 4 system. This truck features a massive 12 inch primary display with a touchscreen interface, supplemented by a 12.00-inch full gauge cluster screen that provides all vital vehicle information at a glance. For those long drives, the Head-up display projects essential data directly onto the windshield, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road.

Comfort & Interior
The interior of the LARIAT trim is a sanctuary of modern utility and luxury, featuring Slate ActiveX Trimmed upholstery. This ActiveX leatherette material is designed for durability and easy cleaning, perfect for a lifestyle that involves the outdoors. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy Heated and Ventilated front seats, with the driver benefiting from 8-way directional controls and 2-way power lumbar support. Even those in the back are treated to 2nd Row Heated Seats, ensuring comfort for the whole family during a winter drive through Hardwood Acres, MI.
Thoughtful interior touches include Power-Adjustable Pedals with Memory, a Heated steering wheel, and Dual-zone front climate control. For those who use their truck as a mobile headquarters, the Mobile Office Package and Console Worksurface provide a flat area for a laptop or paperwork. Storage is abundant with Partitioned Lockable Rear Storage and a Locking floor console. Additionally, the Power-Sliding Rear Window allows for extra ventilation, while the Interior 120V AC power outlets let you charge tools or electronics right from the cabin.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount, and the 2026 F-150 LARIAT is equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. The 360 Degree Camera provides an aerial view of the truck, making it much simpler to navigate tight spaces or align with a trailer. The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert with Reverse Brake Assist provide an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of a driveway.
On the highway, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Keeping Alert help reduce driver fatigue. The truck also features Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Assist, which can provide forward collision mitigation. In the event of an incident, the Safety Canopy System with curtain overhead airbags and Post-Collision Braking work together to protect all five occupants. The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller further enhances safety by providing synchronized braking for your trailer.
Exterior & Design
Wrapped in a deep Antimatter Blue Metallic, this F-150 LARIAT exudes a professional and sophisticated aesthetic. The exterior is accented with chrome details, including Chrome front and rear bumpers, Chrome door handles, and a Chrome grille. It stands tall on 20-inch Chrome-Like PVD aluminum wheels wrapped in P275/60SR20 AT BSW tires, providing a commanding presence on the road.
Utility is built into the design with the BED UTILITY PACKAGE, which includes LED Box Lighting, 4 Pickup Box Tie-Down Plates, and a Tailgate Step with Work Surface. The Directionally adaptive headlights and LED front fog lights ensure excellent visibility on dark rural roads, while Remote activated perimeter approach lighting welcomes you back to the truck.
