2021 Ford F-150: The best-selling vehicle in the US for decades, the F-150 is completely redesigned for 2021. Though it is very similar in size and styling, the F-150 is all new underneath, sporting new safety features, additional tech, an available onboard generator and, for the first time ever, a hybrid powertrain. F-150 is a full-size, half-ton pickup truck that seats 3 to 6 passengers depending on configuration. Regular cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew bodystyles are offered. Competitors include the Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Nissan Titan, Ram 1500 and Toyota Tundra.
Rear-wheel drive is standard with four-wheel drive being optional. Six trims are offered: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. The off-road-ready Raptor arrives late in the model year. The gas engine lineup includes a 3.3-liter V6 with 290 horsepower, a turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 with 325 horsepower, a 5.0-liter V8 with 400 horsepower and a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with 400 horsepower. Ford also offers a turbodiesel 3.0-liter V6 with 250 horsepower. The new hybrid powertrain combines the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor and a battery pack for a total output of 430 horsepower.
Also new for 2021 is the Pro Power Onboard system. It adds an electric generator that can operate power tools and appliances. It is available with the gas engines or the hybrid powertrain, where it can generate up to 7,200 watts.
Available driver-assist technology includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rearview camera with cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, frontal collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, automatic high-beam headlights. Pricing ranges from $32,000 to $75,000.
