Ford is a familiar brand everywhere on Earth. This isn't by chance. It's earned recognition from over 100 years of quality vehicles. The 2021 Ford F-150 is no exception to that reputation for quality. For that reason, we wanted to talk about some of the features of the 2021 model. About the 2021 Ford F-150 On June 25th, 2020, we all got to see why their slogan is “Built Ford Tough” when the 2021 F-150 was debuted. Because of Ford's commitment to safe business practices in the time of COVID, a virtual presentation was held to debut their new light-duty pickup truck. What's New in 2021 Visually, you might be fooled into thinking that nothing had changed from the prior model year. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everything, and we mean everything, was reconsidered for the fourteenth generation of this American classic. Ford reviewed their goals with the new F-150 and how they would achieve them. In that spirit, they revisited each part and ended up revising or creating entirely new parts for 92% of the 2021 model. The result was a more comfortable interior and a more functional machine overall. more Work in Comfort Work isn't something that you seek out; it has a way of finding you. To make sure F-150 owners are always ready to work, the 2021 model was built in a mobile office mindset. It features a control console with built-in Wi-Fi, Apple and Android connectivity, and voice recognition. The center console was also designed to quickly become a desk for setting up a laptop or writing. The shifter folds into the console, allowing you to quickly make room for work on the flat surface designed to cover it neatly. After that, take a break on the fully reclining front seats. Power With Ease Ford upgraded the battery mountings and transmission. To facilitate that, they also needed to widen the track by an inch. To facilitate that, they needed to upgrade chassis construction. One upgrade begat another. We can only guess whether that was a coincidence or by design. This increased the towing capacity of the 2021 model. To limit the stress of heavier loads on the vehicle and its riders, improved bushings were included. The steering also gained a motor between the column and wheel for ease of use and low and high speeds. Pricing There is a wide range between the base model XL at just around $38,000 and the fully-loaded trim offerings in the low $70,000's. Don't worry though, Ford offers six trims with many optional packages to ensure everyone can find an F-150 that suits them. Work Anywhere The unique features of the 2021 F-150 are the ones that make every location a worksite. A composite tailgate work surface with measurements, hooks for tying, and cutout areas for clamps. Four powertrains that offer a built-in generator to give you power without an outlet. These features might not seem like much to the average person, but for anyone that's ever realized they needed to bring out the circular saw when they weren't expecting it, it's all the difference in the world. Features like these show why Fords are built for workers. The 2021 F-150 impresses across the board. It delivers power, comfort, and unique features that make it the go-to make and model for 2021.
