In June 2020 Ford introduced the fourteenth-generation F-150, the best-selling pickup in America. It went on sale as a 2021 model. The look is an evolution, but underneath it is a new truck, and for the first time there was a hybrid.<\/p>\n

Exterior<\/h2>\n

The styling stays close to the 2015 to 2020 truck: bigger LED signatures in the headlamps, a larger grille, new bumpers and eleven grille designs depending on trim. Active grille shutters improve aerodynamics. The truck still rides on a fully boxed steel frame with an aluminum-alloy body.<\/p>\n

Inside<\/h2>\n

For the first time the F-150 could have a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, and higher trims got a 12-inch center screen with SYNC 4. Base trucks keep analog gauges and an 8-inch screen. Options include leather and a Bang & Olufsen system with 18 speakers. Co-Pilot360 2.0 added pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, rear braking and, later, the hands-free BlueCruise system on mapped North American highways.<\/p>\n

PowerBoost hybrid<\/h2>\n

The new 3.5L PowerBoost pairs the 3.5 EcoBoost V6 with an electric motor built into the 10-speed automatic, fed by a 1.5 kWh battery. Ford quoted up to about 700 miles of range on a tank. The all-electric F-150 Lightning followed for 2022.<\/p>\n

Working on a 2021 or newer F-150<\/h2>\n

This generation brought a new electrical architecture, over-the-air updates, Pro Power Onboard generators and a hybrid system with high-voltage safety procedures. Engine choices run from the 2.7 and 3.5 EcoBoost to the 3.3 V6, 5.0 V8 and the Raptor’s high-output engines.
