Pickup trucks need to work. While some people may want a pickup merely for the novelty, most pickup drivers need one that can get the job done. If you're working hard, you need a truck that works just as hard as you do. The 2021 Ford F-150 is an ideal work truck and a long-hailed classic of the pickup truck market. Its strong architecture provides the backbone for the high-performing engineering that makes it perfect for any job. When it comes to pickups that get the job done, there are three criteria that are important to examine: performance, storage, and technology. These three factors essentially encapsulate all of the important elements of pickup workloads, and the presence of these features can make jobs easier than ever before. So, let's take a look at the 2021 F-150's work capability.
Starting at
The 2021 Ford F-150 offers the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 engine. If that name doesn't intrigue you, its 430 horsepower will, and its 570 pound-feet of torque will knock you off your feet. This engine, which obtains its power from a combination of gas and electric energy, is Built Ford Tough and has been thoroughly tested and found to be the best Ford could possibly offer you. Ford has been a staple of automotive development in America since it was founded in 1903 and continues to be one of the industry leaders in the United States. To come back to this impressive engine's performance numbers, 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque are numbers that you won't find anywhere else. So, if you're a hard worker who needs to get hard jobs done, the PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 will provide you with the support you need from your vehicle.
If you want to see the 2021 F-150 working at its best, then hitch up your trailer and see what the vehicle can do. With a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of up to 14,000 pounds, depending on the configuration, this truck is certainly not messing around. Add the available Smart Trailer Tow Connector, and your 2021 F-150 will let you know if any part of your trailer needs special attention, whether the task is replacing a turn signal lamp or a battery.
If the task at hand is one for the bed and not for the trailer hitch, then you'll be well taken care of with the F-150's best-in-class available payload. Thanks to the truck's lightweight military-grade aluminum-alloy body, the 2021 F-150 has a payload rating of up to 3,325 pounds when powered by its 5.0-liter V8 engine. So, no matter what is important to you when it comes to work capabilities, you'll be able to get it done with the best numbers on the market.
When it comes to hauling large loads, whether it is a trailer or a bedload, driver control is key. With the available Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) system, the vehicle adjusts the stiffness of its shock absorbers in real-time to match the surface of the road. This system works through a healthy collaboration of its own abilities and your inputs by monitoring suspension position, loading, speed, road conditions, and steering in order to make sure that suspension damping is just right for the situation at hand. This will pay off dividends if you're going to be hauling trailers or other large loads. You will be able to enjoy an easy and controlled drive while letting the vehicle take care of the work for you.
If you're looking for a pickup truck, then you are clearly looking for a vehicle with storage space at the forefront. While pickups all come with cargo beds and thus a focus on storage, not all pickups are the same, which is why the 2021 F-150 stands out among its peers. To begin with, the XL trim comes with an 8-foot box that allows for a maximum payload of 3,325 pounds. So, load up that bed and take advantage of every inch of the 77.4 cubic feet of cargo volume. This bed is more than just large–it is also highly functional. The tailgate work surface allows you to make your cargo bed your work desk, making for a more collaborative work experience between you and your vehicle. But, it's not just the bed that provides the storage and functionality you are looking for.
The F-150 offers more available interior storage space by way of its rear locking under-seat storage. The big benefit of this storage is its secrecy and its safety. The foldable compartment is locked and unlocked with a key, making it a perfect place for items that require special care or safety measures (also a great place to hide secret birthday gifts!). If you're working a particularly heavy-duty job, the combination of the cargo bed and under-seat storage is a perfect one because it allows you to reserve the bed for loading and unloading while you can store your tools in the under-seat compartment. The 2021 F-150 will have you ready to work better with its practical and well-constructed storage space.
The 2021 Ford-150 is well-equipped with the technology you need to get hard jobs done. To begin with, the vehicle allows you to power up your tools and accessories through Pro Power Onboard, which offers best-in-class usable power of up to 7.2 kW. This output is available through a number of standard 120V 20A and 240V NEMA outlets in both the cab and the bed, so you'll have easy access to power no matter where you are. But, it's not just the ability to charge other devices; it's the technology inside the 2021 F-150 that will have you working at your best.
Programmed with SYNC 4, the 2021 F-150 offers advanced over-the-air software updates to make sure that your vehicle is always running the most current version available. This is done through a cloud-connected platform, so the truck can constantly update to perform at its highest possible level. This cloud-based connectivity also allows for more detailed navigation and better access to towing information. You'll be able to see the information in the format of your choice as the 12-inch diagonal infotainment screen allows you to configure the screen layouts however you want. This highly-adaptable system is all about making sure that information is accessible to you on your terms.
This infotainment screen is not the only 12-inch digital screen in the 2021 F-150. You'll be productive like never before with the 12-inch digital productivity screen, placed right behind the steering wheel where the driver information center would usually be. Instead of the usual speedometer and odometer, you'll find the generously-sized screen that gives you access to available navigation information, Blue Cruise hands-free driving (which essentially takes care of all the driving for you, and all you have to do is stay awake and alert), off-road gauges, and towing information. The F-150 hosts up to nine selectable drive modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl), which allow you to adjust your driving experience to suit your surroundings and road conditions, and each drive mode has its own avatar on this productivity screen. So, you'll be engaged with your vehicle like never before with the best driver information system you'll find.
Your vehicle's owner's manual is important. You may be thinking, "yeah, right." But, anyone who has ever run into trouble with their vehicle knows that it comes in handy, and "yeah, right" were famous last words for those who couldn't locate their owner's manual when they needed it. But, this will never be an issue with the 2021 F-150's digital owner's manual. You'll be able to avoid the monotonous page-by-page descriptions by viewing streamable how-to videos and other interactive features. This will help you get to know your vehicle better (and tap into features you wouldn't have otherwise known about) and will make sure that you have the information you need when you need it most.
One of the most passenger-friendly technology features is the presence of Max Recline Seats. If you're working hard, you're going to get tired. Whether you're working late and need to crash for the night or if you need a little siesta during your lunch break, these seats recline almost completely flat to help you get a comfortable rest right inside your truck. The 2021 F-150 is one of the most technologically-advanced vehicles on the market, and you will be astonished once you begin to interact with its innovative features.
