The Ford F-series has been a staple of the motor industry for decades, and it's as American as apple pie. With a track record of improved reliability and innovation, the F-series has established and enhanced its reputation over time as America's best pickup truck, and the latest iteration is more efficient, more capable, and more productive. Meet the new and improved 2021 Ford F-150. The New and Improved 2021 Ford F-150 This isn't just an aesthetic touch-up. The 14th generation has seen Ford redesign its flagship truck series across the board with a wealth of new features and improvements. For the first time ever, it comes with the option of a hybrid engine with a 3.5-liter power-boost hybrid V6. The truck can tow a minimum of 12,000lbs, seats up to six, prides itself on a host of smart features for ease-of-use, and is designed above all to be a practical and reliable workhorse for its drivers. It's more than a truck. It's a trailer, a portable generator, a workshop, and a luxury drive all-in-one. more It's a Mobile Generator The F-150 might offer many upgrades that catch the eye, but the standout feature is undeniably the availability of its onboard generator. There's no need to tow a generator around when the car is the generator. The PowerBoost hybrid model boasts a 2.4-kW generator as standard, which can operate for up to 64 hours. The optional upgrade to a 7.2kW generator, according to Ford, is enough to juice a mobile welding shop. The generator can be jacked into via four 20-amp, 120-volt outlets in the truck bed, two more in the cab, as well as one 30-amp, 240-volt twist-lock outlet, and six USB ports. It's Practical Ford has certainly recognized the need for practicality with its latest model. Listening to feedback from customers, who evidently use the tailgate as a workbench, Ford printed two rulers in both metric and imperial measurements and positioned two clamp holes in the tailgate for practical use. There's even a cup holder right next to them for those all-important coffee breaks. Inside the cab, the seats are fully foldable and the gear selector folds into the center console, making space for a fold-down work surface. SYNC 4 SYNC4 is Ford's next-gen infotainment system and standard for all F-150s. With an eight to 12-inch touchscreen and split-screen interface, SYNC4 receives over-the-air updates for both new features and system updates. SYNC4 is designed as a one-stop-shop for accessibility, allowing the owner to access digital manuals, maps, and how-to videos, and includes everything you'd expect from an infotainment system: WiFi, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and so on. It's Designed for Simplicity Between the F-150's FordPass Connect App, Trailer Reverse Guidance, and Active Drive Assist, the truck's smart technology makes the day-to-day easier than ever. FordPass Connect allows an owner's phone to act as a car key, check the status of the lighting, and sends real-time alerts should a trailer become disconnected. The onboard Active Drive Assist, which stores around 100,000 miles of pre-mapped highways in its memory, keeps track of eye gaze and head position to ensure the driver isn't asleep at the wheel and includes a toolbox of safety systems like automated braking, high beam adjustments, and pedestrian detection. The Trailer Guidance system provides high visibility with its rear camera integration and makes sure-fire recommendations that instruct a driver how and when to turn.
