When you’re looking for a powerful work truck, you can’t beat the Ford F-150. While the 2020 F-150 has amazing features, the 2021 version steps up with a hybrid version and a job-site-oriented truck bed.
Exterior
Both the 2020 or 2021 F-150 have seven trim levels and superb styling, but the 2021 version adds aerodynamic lines which gives the 2021 F-150 a futuristic look. Both the 2021 and 2020 versions have multiple cab and bed configurations that make it easy to haul the crew to the job site or take the family on vacation.
Performance
Multiple engine choices come with both the 2020 and 2021 models. New for 2021, there is a hybrid version of the F-150. The gasoline engines range from a 3.3-liter V-6 to a 3.0-liter diesel V-6. Choose the 2021 hybrid and you get a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine mated with a 35-kilowatt electric motor. Both come with standard rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive. For towing capacity, the 2021 hybrid steps up to the plate to haul 13,200 pounds when properly equipped.
Technology
The 2021 F-150’s cabin converts to a workspace with the fold-down console and includes the new Ford Sync 4 infotainment system with an 8- or 12-inch touch screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration come standard on both the 2020 and 2021 variations.
Both the 2020 and 2021 Ford F-150 are amazing work trucks with plenty of modern technology. However, with the launch of the 2021 hybrid version, and a redesigned cabin, the 2021 Ford F-150 clearly moves into the future of full-size trucks.
