Ford F-150

In the world of pickup trucks, none are quite as praised or as well-respected as the F-150 series. As Ford continues to innovate this legendary vehicle each year, the 2021 F-150 is its most capable and versatile model yet. While seating up to six, it still offers all the same off-road capability and performance you’ve come to expect from this classic vehicle. Here are five excellent reasons why you should take a closer look at the amazingĀ 2021 Ford F-150.

1. The Hybrid Option Is Muscular

While the 2021 F-150 has seven incredible engines available, from a 2.7-liter on the smaller end to a 5.0-liter V8 as the largest, the V6 Full Hybrid engine is the standout in the group because of its ability to offer both strong horsepower and excellent fuel economy. While providing 430 horsepower, 570 pound-feet of torque, and the ability to tow up to 12,700 pounds, it also gets up to 25 mpg and 700 miles of traveling distance on a single tank of gas.

2. Its Multi-Mode System Can Tackle Any Terrain

Taking on different types of surfaces and terrain is simple when you have multiple terrain modes to choose from. With the available Terrain Management System, you can toggle the vehicle between multiple modes, including Normal, Tow/Haul, Trail, Eco, Slippery, and Sport. For models with 4×4 drivetrains or fitted with the FX4 Off-Road package, there are also additional modes for tackling mud, snow, rocks, and sand.

3. There’s a Cruise Control Made for Off-Road Driving

If you find yourself in an extreme off-road scenario where you need to focus on steering, the available Trail Control system can act as a co-pilot to help you out. Think of it as cruise control that’s made for rough terrain where applying your foot gently on the brake adjusts the pre-set speed that you’ve chosen instead of braking.

4. You Can Hop In Easily With Its Power Running Boards

If you’ve ever had trouble getting into a vehicle because of ground height, you’ll appreciate the available automatic extended running boards, which can be found on both sides of the vehicle. Not only can they be synced to extend when a door opens, but they can also be deployed by simply kicking your foot gently against the dual kick-switches under the vehicle.

5. An Infotainment System With a Split-Screen Function

There’s also an updated version of the Sync 4 infotainment system, which offers wireless smartphone connectivity for accessing music, hands-free calls, and detailed navigation instructions. You also have two display screen options: an 8-inch and a larger 12-inch with split-screen functionality. If opting for the 12-inch display, you can select music on one side of the screen while accessing navigation or other features on the other side of the screen.

Whether you plan to use it for work, commuting, family trips, or off-road adventures, the 2021 F-150 has many undoubtedly exciting and redesigned features to fit every scenario. Come test drive this legendary pickup today at Mike Molstead Motors in Charles City, Iowa.
