2021 Ford F-150 XLT

The 2021 F-150 is Ford's full-size pickup, offered in work-truck XL through luxury Platinum and off-road Raptor trims. It squares off against the Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado, and GMC Sierra in the half-ton truck segment. The F-150 drives with a composed, truck-like feel, and the hybrid adds smooth low-speed electric operation. The cabin is quiet and roomy, with comfortable seats, though larger wheels can make the ride a bit bouncy on rough roads. Crew cab models offer generous rear legroom and a versatile interior with plenty of storage and charging ports. Stepping up to the XLT from the XL adds chrome bumpers, fog lamps, and power door locks, plus a more comfortable interior with cloth seats and a center armrest. This XLT pairs the 5.0L V8 with four-wheel drive and a ten-speed automatic, giving you 395 horsepower that pulls hard from low revs and makes highway merging effortless. The XLT's available FX4 package adds off-road shocks, skid plates, and a locking rear axle, which is worth a look if you plan to take this truck on dirt.
