Ford F-150

One of the greatest things about Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 engine is that it makes gobs of horsepower with a supercharger attached. Shelby is taking advantage of the potential of that engine for the top-of-the-line 2021 Shelby F-150 pickup.

Recently Ford CEO Jim Farley was on CNBC, where he talked about the reveal of the 2022 F-150 Lightning pickup. Farley mentioned that within 12 hours of the truck debuting on May 19, the company already had 20,000 reservations on the books.

After many months of teasing its coming electric F-150 pickup, Ford has finally unveiled the F-150 Lightning. The fully electric truck will come in three trim levels, including Platinum, Lariat, and XLT. An entry-level version aimed at commercial applications will also be available.

Ford has announced the launch of its 2021 F-150 Police Responder. The vehicle has an improved top speed and added capability compared to the models that came before it. Ford has increased the truck’s top speed to 120 mph and added an automatic four-wheel-drive mode along with a torque-on-demand transfer case.

Ford is showing off a very cool option that will be available in some versions of the 2021 F-150 pickup. The new feature, called Max Recline Seats, is designed to give owners a place to nap between job sites or when camping.

With the delivery of its first 2021 F-150 pickups just around the corner, Ford has shared official specs for the payload and towing capacities for the truck, and each of its six available engines. The entry-level version of the 2021 F-150 uses a 3.3-liter V6 engine offering 1,985 lb.

June 25th, 2020 is a big day for Ford F-150 fans as the new version of the popular truck will be unveiled in full for the first time. Ahead of that official reveal, Ford is teasing with an image on Facebook that shows the 2021 F-150 pulling a boat out of the lake.

Ford has already told us that it’s serious about getting into electric vehicles, and is even planning on building an all-electric version of its popular F-150 pickup truck. Now, Ford is showing off a prototype of its electric F-150 by putting it to the test in a towing challenge.

Before we get too far into this review, a little transparency first. For the last year, I’ve been writing my second book – about the history of the Ford F-Series pickup. So when I got the 2019 version of America’s best-selling vehicle to drive, I was excited.

Roush has announced a new truck package that takes the normal Ford F-150 up several notches. The truck is called the F-150 SC, and its big feature is a Roush TVS R2650 supercharger that sits atop the truck’s 5.0L V8 engine.

Among the numerous custom cars and trucks at SEMA 2018, Hennessey Performance turned up with its 2019 VelociRaptor V8. The performance tuners tore out the stock EcoBoost V6 engine and put a 5.0-liter V8 with a 2.9-liter supercharger under the hood.

“It’s about damn time,” should have been Ford’s product punchline for the F-150 Power Stroke pickup, because every time I spoke with someone about this diesel V6 option, they said the exact same thing. No comments on the color.

First let’s get one thing cleared up right off the bat, this isn’t a truck review. It’s an engine review. Because nothing – not a single bolt, body panel, or switch – on the F-150 has changed except for the turbocharged 3.0L V6 oil burner that’s under the hood.

Ford has gone and done something that will make truck buyers who fancy diesel power and fuel economy very happy. The new 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel engine has been announced and it has an EPA rating of 30 mpg on the highway.

Remember the step-side Splash edition of the Ford Ranger, with its bright yellow paint scheme and vibrant 90s era “splashed” decal accents? Yeah, forget that noise. None of that crap will be getting brought back on the reborn 2019 version of the pickup, and in their place buyers are sure to find a far more focused machine.
