In the league of full-size pickups, the F-150 has always maintained its position as a leader ahead of the pack. In 2021, this legendary vehicle was redesigned with more innovative changes than ever before, securing this position once again. In addition to its multiple V6 and V8 engine choices, including a 450-horsepower hybrid option, these five features of the 2021 Ford F-150 are sure to impress.
1. Voice-Controlled Entertainment
The standard SYNC 4 program that comes in all F-150s can be viewed on an 8-inch or 12-inch screen. You can connect your smartphone wirelessly to it, get navigation assistance, and listen to music from either your smartphone, the FM radio, or the available SiriusXM satellite stations. So you can keep your hands on the steering wheel when driving, it also includes a voice-control feature, which allows you to control everything without even using its touchscreen function.
2. An Onboard Scale to Weigh Cargo
One of the most convenient and useful features available is the Onboard Scale, which is integrated into the bed of the pickup. When loading cargo in the back, you can see how much it weighs by simply glancing at an LED visual that displays on the vehicle’s tail lamp. You can also check the weight from either the FordPass app or the Sync 4 screen as well.
3. Receive Instant Towing Alerts
This edition of the F-150 also offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 14,000 pounds along with a wide array of towing features available. Among these features, one major standout is the Smart Trailer Tow Connector that that warns you of any towing problems through an in-dash monitoring system. If a trailer brake light or turn signal isn’t functioning correctly, this system will let you know about it immediately.
4. Phone Charging Without Cables
We live in a modern world where staying connected with friends and family is as easy as ensuring that your mobile device stays charged. With the available wireless charging pad feature located just below the center instrument panel, charging is even easier in the F-150. Placing any compatible Android or iPhone device on the pad initiates the charging process automatically. This allows you to keep a phone charged while simultaneously using it to make hands-free calls.
5. A Pre-Collision Detection System
With Ford’s Co-Pilot360 system in every 2021 F-150, you’ll find many advanced monitoring features that combine tech with safety. One such feature is the Pre-Collision Assist System that uses radar sensors to detect other vehicles or obstacles ahead of you while you’re driving. To help you avoid collisions, it will alert you to these types of threats while you’re still a safe distance away from them. If you fail to respond quickly enough, the vehicle will automatically apply the brakes when necessary.
With innovative features to enhance safety, towing, comfort, and connectivity, the 2021 F-150 has been an instant hit with drivers since its release. To see this legendary pickup truck for yourself and all of its other stunning features, stop by Holt Motors in Cokato, Minnesota today.
