2021 Ford F150 Basics

Ford released the 14th generation F-150 pick-up in late Fall 2020. Like with previous revisions, the new 2021 model is available with several different engines and trim levels.

Engines

There is an engine to suit every user. There is a 3.3-liter V6, a 5.0-liter V8, twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 and 3.5-liter V6 versions, and a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6. Each engine is married to a smooth 10-speed auto transmission.

Trim Levels

There are six trim-lines available, with one to suit most budgets. The most basic trim is the no-frills XL. The XLT version is a step-up from the XL, while the Lariat is more luxurious and has extra features.

The high-end King Ranch, Platinum, Limited-Edition models are for those who want the ultimate F-150 experience.

Pricing

The base XL model starts at around $30,000. If you want more luxury and features, the next step-up is the XLT at $35,000 and the Lariat at $45,000.

For those with a larger budget the King Ranch starts at $55,000, the Platinum is $60,000 and the Limited Edition costs around $70,000.

The Exterior

Ford has added a new chrome grille that shouts muscle and bling. Ford fans will also love the four-door cab, which is now standard. The exaggerated wheel-arches and large tires give the truck an imposing presence.

The Interior

The seats are thick and comfortable with plenty of leather accents. There is a surround sound music system and quality touches like the interactive touch-screen. The cabin is very spacious, with the rear seats giving plenty of room for full-size adults.

Technology and Safety

The standard 8-inch touch screen can be upgraded to a giant 15.5-inch model, which dwarfs the 12-inch screens of competitor pick-ups. A lot of connectivity comes as standard, including Apple Carplay and a wi-fi hotspot. Many functions can be customized to provide the information that is important to you.

Automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning functions make driving safer. The adaptive cruise-control makes long-distance driving easier. Some competitor pick-ups offer more driver-assist functions at extra cost, but the F-150 comes with the major safety features as standard on many trim levels.

The 2021 model boasts a dazzling range of trims, engines and hi-tech features. The Ford F150 remains a reliable workhorse with great towing and load carrying ability. This truck’s imposing styling and luxurious interior will please everyone, from farmers to suburban families. Pay us a visit at Cloninger Ford of Hickory and book your test drive.
