Ford’s pickup trucks dominate the US vehicle sales numbers every year, so the upgrades to the 2021 Ford F-150 have been eagerly awaited. Ford doesn’t disappoint with the new hybrid engines, upscaled luxury models, improved towing capacity, multiple cab configurations, and much more.

Pricing
The 2021 Ford F-150 is available in six standard models. XL, the truck’s basic model, is the cheapest at a starting price of $28,940+ for a stripped-down version. The XLT, which is just a step up from the XL, costs around $35,050+.

Our vote goes to the Lariat with a starting price of $44,695+, as it offers the best features of the luxury versions at a price that is still within reasonable limits. King Ranch and Platinum are the upscale versions priced at $56,330+ and $59,100+, respectively. The Limited model will set you back by a cool $70,825+!

Best Features of the New and Improved 2021 Ford F-150
Countless Configurations
The 2021 upgrades to the F-150 include the launch of six standard models with a wide range of customization options. You can choose from 15 different colors for the exteriors, five colors for the interiors, two drive options – RWD and 4WD, and three cab options with varying bed lengths and perks like plugins, spacious cabins, storage cubbies, and more.

Cool Optional Upgrades
While most customizable options are standard pickup truck fare, the optional upgrades offered for the 2021 models, at additional costs, make it stand out from other vehicles in its class.

You can opt for the ‘Twin Panel Moonroof’ or the ‘FX4 Off-Road Package 2021’ that includes skid plates for undercarriage protection, all-terrain tires, and hill descent control. The Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist 2.0, 2021 version makes parallel and perpendicular parking much more manageable by letting the vehicle take control by merely holding down a button.

PowerBoost
The 2021 model offers, for the first time in the history of the F-150 trucks, a hybrid powertrain with 400-hp. The triple threat of a 35kW electric motor, a 3.5-liters twin-turbo V-6 engine, and the Ford-GM 10-speed automatic transmission, a.k.a the PowerBoost, powers this pickup truck on long-range drives up to 700 miles per tank. It can keep an onboard generator running – even when the vehicle is stationary, to keep up the power supply in remote areas.

The recent power outage in Texas saw Ford magnanimously direct its vendors to loan out the F-150 pickup trucks, so the people left in the dark could use the generators for power backup.
