The 2025 model is once again the best-selling pick-up in the country, a run that's extended for an unprecedented 48 years in a row. For the 2026 model year, Ford is raising the bar even higher with updates in terms of design and technology. The 2026 Ford F-150 is expected to be released in late 2025 or early in 2026, so here's a preview of the Ford F-150 pickups you'll find in our new inventory at Thomason Ford in Aumsville, OR.
