For a pickup truck that’s full-size but not quite as heavy-duty as other models, consider checking out the 2021 Ford F-150. Easy to handle and full of desirable features, this light-duty vehicle is still large and in charge.
1. Exceptional Engine Options
The F-150 is certainly a vehicle with a lot of variety. From day one you can begin customizing your truck, starting with choosing one of six engines that will best suit you and your needs. The two most driver-recommended options are the base 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost that delivers 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, and the 5-liter V8 that generates 400 horsepower and 400 b-ft of torque.
If your top priority is fuel efficiency, then you may want to choose the 2.7-liter V6. Our knowledgeable staff can go through all the options and stats with you to help you choose the engine that will be the best fit.
2. Best-In-Class Towing
The F-150 equipped with Ford’s most powerful engine will yield a towing capacity that will impress even the toughest of critics. While every engine delivers impressive performance, the V8 is definitely an over-achiever. With this engine, you can haul up to 14,000 pounds, which is almost double what some slightly smaller trucks are able to handle. Choosing the F-150 will certainly put you at a huge advantage against the competition.
If you don’t think you’ll be hauling a load quite that massive on a regular basis, you may still need to transport something substantial from time to time. In this case, you can still take advantage of the truck bed’s payload capacity of up to 3,325 pounds.
3. Conquer Any Terrain
The 2021 F-150 can handle any terrain, even though it’s only a light-duty pickup. Small, but mighty, this truck is rugged and is exceptionally impressive on various terrains. Its four-by-four drive and even acceleration deliver a smooth ride regardless of what’s under its wheels.
The advanced suspension system is beneficial whether you’re on a paved road, or crawling over rocks, as is the high ground clearance. The Ford F-150 Tremor performs particularly well on truly unruly roads as this trim adds monotube front shocks and twin-tube rear shocks that make tough roads feel a bit more comfortable and manageable.
4. Superior Handling
Smaller trucks tend to be easier to drive and maneuver, but this pickups’ handling feels less like a full-size truck and more like an SUV. Furthermore, its steering and handling are so good that there is next-to-no body roll, regardless of how sharp the turn is. Drivers also love the dynamics of the steering, emphasizing its agility and quick response.
The best way to appreciate all that this light-duty pickup has to offer is to test drive one. Once you feel the power and performance while also seeing how easy it is to drive, you’ll be convinced that you need this truck in your life.
