2021 Ford F-150 Specs

No matter what kind of conditions the forecast calls for, the 2021 F-150 can take them head on. It’s ready for rough weather and designed to tackle tough trails, too. To help you power through, the F-150 offers six exciting engines to choose from.

This dynamic lineup can deliver a ton of torque, good fuel economy, and best-in-class towing and payload capabilities. Some of the impressive options you’ll find under the hood include:

For even better fuel economy, the F-150 is available with a 3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6. On top of getting up to 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque, it offers an EPA-estimated 25 city/26 highway MPG.

Towing & Payload

One of the great things about having that much power is that it helps your pickup carry lots of cargo. From heavy trailers to campers, boats, and anything you can toss in the truck bed, the 2021 Ford F-150 can haul it all. It’s capable of the following specs:

• Best-in-class towing capacity 14,000 pounds
• Best-in-class payload capacity 3,325 pounds

To make towing easier for you, the F-150 offers technology that can help you line up with your trailer, keep things level, and assist you with dropping your cargo off. For starters, the Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist gives you a better look at what’s behind you when you’re trying to connect with your cargo.

Once you’re on the road, trailer sway control will make sure your cargo stays balanced and in line with your truck. You can also check your tow hitch and see what’s around you using the 360-Degree Camera. After you arrive at your destination, Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ and the Trailer Reverse Guidance camera will help you steer your cargo into place.

The truck bed also offers some amenities, like a tailgate step, electrical outlets for your tools, and a flat workbench-inspired tailgate that features its own built-in ruler. Plus, to secure your cargo, you can add BoxLink™ locking cleats that stop things from sliding around.

High-Tech Cabin

The 2021 Ford F-150 is available in three cab sizes. Each one can keep you comfortable, with lots of legroom and premium amenities. For example, if you’re on a long drive, the Max Recline Seats can help you lie back and rest up before getting back on the road.

To help you arrive on time and enjoy your favorite music along the way, the F-150 is available with the SYNC® 4 infotainment system. This 12-inch screen turns your dashboard into the command center for your drive. You’ll be able to get directions, stay in touch, and enjoy your music and shows with the following available features:

• Apple CarPlay®

• SiriusXM® with 360L
• FordPass™ Connect with 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot
