The 2021 Ford F-150 is the latest addition to a long line of top-selling trucks. Ford states that this iteration is better than ever, and the best features of the truck confirm this claim. It’s a tough truck that’s wonderfully capable, but it also appeals to drivers who value comfort as well as power.

1. Top-Notch Towing Abilities

With the right trim and setup, the Ford F-150 can tow 14,000 pounds. This is a huge towing capacity, and you can haul almost anything with it. It’s easy to transport boats, campers, animals, and work gear with this truck. That 14,000-pound capacity is higher than what many competitor trucks are capable of. In some cases, it’s 1,000 pounds more than what competitors can haul.

It gets even more impressive if you pair it with the truck’s fantastic payload. You can carry 3,325 in the truck bed while towing the 14,000 pounds in the trailer. That gives the truck the ability to transport a total of 17,325 pounds at once.

2. Off-Roading Power

The Ford F-150 is rugged. It has a solid suspension system and high ground clearance. These features go well together, and they make the Ford F-150 an excellent off-roader. If you equip the vehicle with all-wheel drive, then you can expect further improvements in its off-road performance.

The F-150’s Tremor package is even better for off-roading. It has rear twin-tube shocks and front monotube shocks. These shocks make the truck tougher, and they help it handle even the roughest roads that you want to tackle.

3. A Lush Interior

Heated, ventilated, and adjustable seats are desirable upgrades available in many trucks. However, in the Ford F-150, those features are standard. No matter what trim you get, you’re sure to be comfortable in the Ford F-150. Dual-zone climate control is also standard.

You can opt for a few upgrades that make the interior feel even more luxurious. A heated steering wheel is available, which is fantastic for cold winter mornings. You can also avail of ambient cabin lighting in a color of your choice.

4. Large, Capable Infotainment System

The Ford F-150 has a 12-inch infotainment system. Many competitors only offer smaller screens, which are around 8-inches in size. The larger 12-inch display makes it easier to see all of the information you need at a glance.

The infotainment system can be voice-controlled, so you don’t even need to look at the screen while you’re driving. You can keep your eyes on the road, give the system a command, and wait for the infotainment system to do as it’s told. One feature you can activate is a navigation system, which is fantastic for road trips and people who like to explore. The system is also a WiFi hotspot, and you can sync your smartphone to it, too.
