Electricity isn't the only big thing coming to the Ford F-150. America's best-selling pickup will also receive drastic cosmetic changes taking its design in an upmarket direction.
Our own spyshots from a week ago showed the front end of the 2021 model year F-150 sporting much cleaner lines. The shape of the grille and the way it connects to the boxy headlights are reminiscent of the GMC Sierra 150.
While that prototype was still covered in camouflage, the Russian website Kolesa stripped away all that to basically reveal this major refresh. The also got the shape of the mirrors, or the fog lights right. A rear 3/4 view reveals what Ford plans to do with the taillights too.
Ford remains the segment leader for pickups due to the constant stream of innovation, and this will continue with the new F-150. It's been rumored that the 5.0-liter V8 engine will be downsized slightly to a 4.8-liter. However, power and torque will actually go up by 25 hp and 20 lb-ft.
The smaller engines should soldier on relatively unchanged. We're talking about the popular EcoBoost V6 and the 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel. However, something new is on the horizon, a hybrid drive announced by Ford six years ago. It's possible that this will also develop into a plug-in model, though no prototypes have been spotted.
The other big news is the arrival of an all-electric F-150. According to some sketches we saw, the design of the model sticks to what's in these renderings. However, the fancy grille and wheels will get a more streamlined appearance.
Ford officially confirmed plans to build a fully electric F-150 at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. A full production model will likely hit the market in 2021, though it could be shown at roughly the same time as the 2021 redesign. It's expected that the vehicle will boast a respectable range of about 300 miles per charge and impressive towing abilities.
