Latest Ford News In Penticton BC
Ford’s done it again—they’ve created an absolute winner with the all-new 2021 F-150. The hybrid model is gaining massive attention from the media, with Green Car Journal awarding the forward-thinking trim the 2021 Green Truck of the Year award.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid is an amazing engineering achievement in so many ways, but Green Car Journal was particularly blown away by several key differentiators that set the truck apart from the competition. The 3.5-liter PowerBoost unit is the only full hybrid powertrain available in a pickup today. Moreover, the publication lauded the Big Blue Oval’s truck for its high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy body. “Built Ford Tough” clearly makes a difference here.

 

“The Ford F-150 earns its well-deserved 2021 Green Truck of the Year™ honor for an array of important reasons that distinguish it from the crowd,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and GreenCarJournal.com. . “The 2021 F-150’s redesign keeps things fresh. The addition of a full hybrid engine option is an important differentiator, as is this pickup’s available Pro Power Onboard output system with 120- and 240-volt outlets for tradesmen and construction sites.”

You’ve heard of “Ford Tough”—in fact, we were just speaking on it in our previous blog—but have you heard of “Ford Smart?” Well, the new 2021 F-150 Hybrid certainly qualifies. It brings not only power but also savvy, intelligent features to the table, and nothing illustrates that better than its max recline seats.

The available max recline seats are class-exclusive and perfect for the job site, camp site, and beyond. They work by eliminating the gap between the cushion and seat back, raising the lower portion of the apparatus to remove that space. This results in a more pleasant experience as you move the seat all the way back into its reclined position; it’s comfy and primed for taking a much-needed nap after a long day. In fact, Ford likens it to a first-class airline experience.

 

Of course, that’s not all the 2021 F-150 Hybrid has to offer. Performance is still top-of-mind for Ford’s engineers, as is easily evidenced when considering the truck’s 3.5-liter PowerBoost engine. It generates an impressive 430 HP and 570 lb.-ft. of torque.

A hybrid truck built without compromises? Yes, it’s now a reality with the 2021 model year thanks to the fiendishly skilled engineers at Ford. The all-new hybrid F-150 is designed to exceed all your expectations with power and toughness to spare.

The 2021 F-150’s fully hybrid powertrain is the only such setup available in a truck today. That’s impressive on its own but, fortunately, Ford stepped up and ensured this machine has been “built Ford tough,” using the exact same lab tests all other F-150s must complete. No corners have been cut here and, as a result, this vehicle has withstood everything from 100-degree temperatures to salt baths and frozen conditions.

 

This hybrid F-150 is outfitted with a 1.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. Like everything else with the pickup, it’s been put through its paces to an incredible degree, surviving the equivalent of 10 years of road abuse in just 82 real-time hours.

The 2021 F-150’s Generator Is a Game-changer for Kamloops, BC, Canada

What’s one of the most useful things you can put into a truck that’s built from the ground-up for  getting things done on the job site? Why, an onboard power generator, of course—and that’s exactly what the folks at Ford have made a reality for the 2021 F-150.

That’s right. The F-150 gets even better for the new model year thanks to the Big Blue Oval’s savvy inclusion of the Pro Power Onboard generator. Its base offering supplies a sizable 2.0 kW of electrical capacity, exclusive to the gas-only F-150s. So, what does 2.0 kW get you? Quite a lot! For example, you’ll be able to power an electric heater, speakers, a mini-fridge, and a television, all at once.

 

There’s more, though. For those looking for some extra “oomph,” there’s the standard configuration exclusive to the hybrid truck models that features an increased 2.4 kW capacity. But for those willing to pony up a few more bucks, there’s a hybrid-exclusive 7.2 kW Pro Power Onboard unit with one 240-volt outlet and four 120-volt plugs that can simultaneously charge up a plasma cutter, chop saw, TiG welder, air compressor, and more!

Somehow, Ford’s F-150 just keeps getting better. The preeminent North American pickup is getting an amazing upgrade for the 2021 model year and we wanted you to be among the first to get up to speed with its offerings.

The 2021 F-150 is going high-tech (actually, “even higher tech” might be the most apt phrase). The outgoing SYNC 3 software is being replaced by SYNC 4. That means some incredible things for your driving experience; most notably, voice recognition backed by cloud-based connectivity and the boon of OTA (over-the-air) updates. This will result in a truck that learns and adapts as time marches on.

 

SYNC 4 isn’t the only trick up the 2021 F-150’s sleeve. There’s now a digital owner’s manual with streamable how-to videos to help explain all the new features. Max recline seats make it far easier to grab a quick nap after a long day. Also, extra security is provided via the available exterior zone lighting.

Ford’s F-150 has been shaking up the industry for decades now.

But never quite like this.

The 2021 F-150 Hybrid is bringing everything that’s made the line so great in the past—its size, its utility, its untamed performance—and marrying it to electric power in a way few truck makers have ever attempted, let alone perfected. But with this machine, Ford hits the mark.

 

The 2021 F-150 Hybrid possesses an incredibly well-designed 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that stands as the first gas-electric powertrain to ever grace this model line. When working in tandem with a 35-kilowatt electric motor and 1.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, a 12,000 pound towing capacity is achieved. This machine really flexes its muscles! And yet, even with that brawn, the hybrid easily manages 700 miles/1125 km on a full tank of gas, with a limited all-electric range available to boot.

Hybrid power. The promise of it has been bandied about for years and, somewhat more recently, it’s borne some serious fruit. But never like this. Never quite like this.
 

It’s still rare to see hybrid power implemented in a machine this large and this capable… and have it implemented so well. But that’s what Ford has managed to do with the upcoming 2021 F-150 Hybrid. It’s an imposing machine with the internals (or “guts,” if you will) to back up its magnificent first impression with substance. Under the hood lies a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine—the first-ever gas-electric powertrain featured in any F-150. It leans on a 1.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery and a 35-kilowatt electric motor for its performance, which is formidable… as in, 12,000-pound-towing-ability formidable. And range? You’re looking at an overall number of 700 miles/1125 km on a full tank (with a limited all-electric range available, too).

The all-new 2021 F-150 is all about value. This truck is stuffed to the gills with cutting-edge technology as well as utility-based features that are thoughtful, productive additions to an already sensational truck. 

When you buy the 2021 F-150, you’re making an investment in your future happiness and enjoyment of the open road—it’s not your average purchase. A powerful reason for that is the inclusion of satisfyingly intelligent software like SYNC 4, which replaces the outgoing SYNC 3 system. You’ll now enjoy voice recognition via cloud-based connectivity with the massive bonus of OTA (over-the-air) updates that will keep your vehicle learning and improving as time moves on. There’s even a digital owner’s manual with streamable how-to videos so you can keep pace with all the features of your truck!

 

The 2021 F-150 has some more tricks up its sleeve, too. Available zone lighting offers exterior illumination on dark evenings, enhancing safety. And once within the cabin, the max recline seats make it easy to catch a snooze before hitting the road again after a long day.

Ford’s F-150 has always been known for its performance. But now, the 2021 Hybrid model is preparing to burst onto the scene, offering fuel savings and environmental benefits. Does that mean the new F-150 has lost a step? In a word: no.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid isn’t about compromises. Yes, the machine now has electric power thanks to a fully hybrid powertrain—the only one available in a pickup—but it has still been built Ford tough with the same laboratory tests all F-150s must pass. The truck’s been pushed, managing to withstand frozen tundras, 100-degree temperatures, salt baths, and more. And the Hybrid’s 1.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery was subject to a simulation of 10 years of road torture in only 82 real-time hours. Of course, it passed this examination with flying colors, too.

 

Power is everything you’ve likely been hoping for—and more. The 2021 F-150 Hybrid’s 3.5-liter PowerBoost engine creates 430 HP and 570 lb.-ft. of torque. Superb!
