If you're looking for a solid and reputable pickup with amazing performance options and plenty of new creature comforts, the 2021 F-150 is your truck. For years now, the F-150 line has been regarded as legendary, but none have garnered quite as much praise as the 2021 edition. With that said, here's everything you need to know about the reimagined 2021 Ford F-150 and some of its most exciting features. New and Improved: The 2021 Ford F-150 Six Bold Engines and a Hybrid Option With seven different engine options and the ability to choose either a two-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain with each one, the F-150 offers both performance and freedom of choice. Gas-based V6 engine options include a 3.0-liter diesel with 250 horsepower, a 3.3-liter with 290 horsepower, a twin-turbo 2.7-liter with 325 horsepower, and a 3.5-liter twin-turbo that produces 400 horsepower. For more engine roar, there's a 5.0-liter V8 that also generates 400 horsepower. Then, there's the 3.5 L twin-turbocharged V6 Hybrid option that provides an impressive 430 horsepower. Finally, at the top of the food chain, sits the Raptor's twin-turbo 3.5-liter High Output EcoBoost, which churns out a ferocious 450 horsepower output with 510 pound-feet of torque. Strong Towing and Off-Road Capability The 2021 edition also promises a jaw-dropping 14,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity when fully equipped. In models bearing the 5.0-liter V8, the maximum payload capacity of 3,325 pounds means you'll have no problem hauling heavy cargo in the pickup bed as well. While driving off-road, the new Trail 1-Pedal Drive setting will automatically apply the brakes whenever you remove your foot from the acceleration pedal. In certain off-road scenarios, such as navigating steep declines, this can be an especially useful feature. Cutting-Edge Tech and Audio Features With the new SYNC 4 system, staying entertained and communicating with others is easier than ever, thanks to the voice recognition system and optional 12-inch touchscreen. While you're making a hands-free call, your front passenger can simultaneously access other features on their side of the screen. The 2021 edition is also the first to offer Pro Power Onboard, an electrical generator that offers multiple outlets with up to 7.2kW of electricity. Perfect for plugging your laptop, power tools, or other electric devices into. There are also two different B&O premium audio systems available to grace the truck's cabin. If the 8-speaker system with its 640-watt amp isn't enough for you, then you can opt for the colossal 1080-watt 18-speaker system instead. Safety Features That Think Ahead Of all the many amazing safety features found in the 2021 F-150, a few stand out as technological feats. An example of this is the Pre-Collision Assist system with its automatic braking function. With this feature, motion sensors are always on-guard and monitoring for anything that might be up ahead and in your path. It will first warn you if it detects anything and will then automatically brake if you begin to get too close. Another noticeable safety achievement is the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). While you should always be looking out for vehicles in your blind spots, BLIS can do that for you if you forget. It will warn you of nearby vehicles, and with trailer coverage, it can also alert you to vehicles that are getting too close to your trailer as well. With a wide array of engine options, off-road agility, excellent towing strength, and advanced safety and tech features, the 2021 F-150 is a serious force to be reckoned with.
