The 2021 Ford F-150 brought many exciting changes to the beloved full-size truck name. Though the 2020 F-150 may offer a smaller price tag, the 2021 model year is not to be missed if you can help it.

New Generation

One of the reasons the 2021 F-150 is significant is that it's the first of the new generation of the popular truck name. The 2021 model year has a complete redesign that brings more to drivers than the previous years. The first change people may notice has been made to the F-150's exterior, which is dialed down from the hyper-aggressiveness of the 2020 model. Instead, it offers a more refined and clean appearance, from its powerful-looking blacked-out front fascia to its sleeker tailgate.

Electric Energy

The 2021 F-150 brings with it its first full hybrid offering. The hybridized version of the F-150 will boast a PowerBoost 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque — the most in the F-150 lineup this year. This makes the F-150 one of the most powerful full-size trucks on the market, as well as one with the longest driving ranges available.

New Tech

The latest generation has also had its smart touch screen completely redesigned. The 2021 F-150 has a larger touch screen that comes with the SYNC 4 program, replacing the 2020 F-150's SYNC 3. This touch screen comes standard with voice activation and keeps a better eye on your truck's health. It is also compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and the Ford+Alexa programs.
