Chronology
PredecessorFord F-Series (thirteenth generation)

The fourteenth generation Ford F-Series is a range of pickup trucks produced by Ford, introduced for the 2021 model year.[3][4][5] This was the first generation to include a fully-electric pickup truck among the offerings with the F-150 Lightning model that will enter production in 2022.[6][7]

Sharing a strong visual resemblance to the 13th generation, the 2021 F-150 underwent a redesign of 92% of its parts, carrying over only its cab and pickup box structure.[8] Along with exterior design changes to enhance aerodynamics, many changes were made to the interior, adding fold-flat front seats and larger touchscreens (including a fully digital instrument panel).

The powertrain line is largely carried over from the previous generation, with a 3.3-liter V6, 2.7-liter and 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6s, a 5.0-liter V8, and a 3.0-liter diesel V6.[9] However, the 5.0-liter V8 receives a new cylinder deactivation system, called Variable Displacement Engine technology, similar to GM's Active Fuel Management and Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System.[10] The six-speed automatic is dropped, with all engines paired to a 10-speed automatic.[8][9]

Dubbed PowerBoost, an optional gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain was introduced for the first time in a Ford light truck, pairing an electric motor with the 3.5-liter V6.[9]

Hybrid[]

Available in the crew cab configuration, the hybrid version of the F-150, called the PowerBoost, combines a 3.5 L EcoBoost V6 to a 47 hp (35 kW) hybrid motor/generator between the engine and transmission. A 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is located under the bed. The net gain is 47 hp (35 kW) and 70 lb⋅ft (95 N⋅m). All the electrical power also allowed Ford to have up to 7200 watts in the bed of a truck, far exceeding the capacity of a normal 120 V receptacle. A 20 percent fuel economy increase over a base 3.5 EcoBoost has been observed at combined city/highway driving. The hybrid option is $2500 added to the base price; although it can be more depending on the trim.[11]

  • 0–60 mph acceleration: 5.4 seconds
  • 430 hp (321 kW)
  • 570 lb⋅ft (773 N⋅m)
  • Payload: 2,120 pounds (960 kg)
  • Towing capacity: 12,700 pounds (5,800 kg)

F-150 Lightning[]

Main article: Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup

Ford unveiled an electric version of the Ford F-150 called the F-150 Lightning, reviving the model name for the first time since the previous Lightning was discontinued after the 2004 model year.[12] It debuted on May 19, 2021, and is expected to be available in mid-2022. The F-150 Lightning will have dual motors. It will be built at the new Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan.[6]

Ford had previously announced the intention to produce a fully-electric light pickup at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show in January 2019. Prototype electric test mules on an existing F-150 chassis were tested during 2019, including a record-setting demonstration test tow of 1,250,000 pounds (570,000 kg) on rails.[7] Ford unveiled the truck, and released the model name—F-150 Lightning—on May 19, 2021.[6]

Raptor[]

The F-150 Raptor was announced in February 2021, and features a 3.5 L twin-turbocharged V6 gasoline engine carried over from the previous generation.[13]
