Ford finally brought back the Ford F-150 Lobo, which is basically a sporty version of the world’s best-selling truck.
It’s lower than the standard F-150 and more powerful.
Truck lovers will definitely be happy to hear it still uses a V8 with no electric aid.
And the price will surprise you.

The Ford F-150 Lobo was designed as a performance-focused variant for the F-150, the world’s best-selling truck – even though it’s no longer America’s best-selling vehicle.
The Lobo is two inches lower than the F-150, just like the Raptor, and it uses a 5.0-liter V8 with 400HP.
Interestingly, the brand hasn’t yet shared any details about the Lobo’s performance figures.
Visually, you get a blacked-out grille, 22-inch black wheels, and a few new color options for the body.
All badges, vents, and even the dual exhaust tips are also painted with a bespoke shade of gloss black.
The same sporty theme applies to the cabin, where you’ll find bucket seats with Alcantara inserts, a 12-inch touchscreen, and a digital gauge cluster.
The truck is not what you’d call cheap, however, especially when you remember the ticket price of the base model, which is around $36k.
But it’s still potentially cheaper than people might think, considering what it does.
It starts at $59,995, which makes it more expensive than the standard F-150, but still cheaper than the F-150 Lightning, the EV version.
It’s also significantly cheaper than the entry-level Tesla Cybertruck, and nearly half the price of the GMC Hummer EV.
More to the point, sorry if we repeat ourselves, Ford gave it a V8, which is rare these days.
With exceptions, most high-performance trucks are either electric, like the Hummer or the Cybertruck, or use V6s.
And even automakers admit customers still want V8s.
