2021 Ford F-450

This year's Ford F-450 gives you a choice of six exciting trim levels: the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. The F-450 also has two body styles to choose from: a regular cab or the maximized SuperCrew cabin. The 2021 model has 11 paint color options to choose from. The F-450 is equipped with dual rear wheels and an 8-foot bed. Add the LED lighting system to the exterior for greater vision during your night jobs and drives. Upgrade your bed with features such as the tailgate step, BoxLink cargo management system, and in-bed lighting system.

The 2021 Ford F-450 has three engine options to choose from. The 385-horsepower 6.2-liter flex-fuel V-8 gives you 430 pound-feet of torque. Move up to the 7.3-liter V-8 to get 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. Also available is a 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V-8 engine that produces 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. These engines are matched with either a six-speed or 10-speed automatic transmission.

The new F-450 has a best-in-class conventional tow rating of 24,200 pounds. Properly equipped, the F-450 can also gooseneck-tow up to 37,000 pounds. With its best-in-class payload rating of 7,850 pounds and best-in-class GCWR of 45,300 pounds, the 2021 F-450 doesn't like to share awards. Use the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system to boost your control over your trailer as you reverse. You can even use an available camera you can place on the back of the trailer to improve your vision of the world behind you.

Opt for an F-450 with the SuperCrew cab to get seating for up to six passengers. The rear row has an available under-seat storage container that's lockable to allow you to secure your gear. The optional carpet-delete vinyl flooring helps you keep your workhorse clean. The higher the trim level you choose, the more creature comforts you'll find in your truck, such as heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, and premium technologies. The Ford F-450 comes standard with a smart screen that performs thousands of functions. Use the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay programs to connect your phone to your truck for a hands-free experience. Use the Ford+Alexa program to do everything from shopping for supplies online to controlling your home's smart devices using only your voice.

The Ford Co-Pilot360 features help you and your truck stay out of harm's way during your adventures. This suite of driver-assist technologies includes features such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with brake support, automatic emergency braking, a lane-keeping system, automatic headlamps, and more. Drivers who are worried about giving up control to computerized systems need not worry — Ford's technologies are designed to simply boost your awareness and reaction times to potential threats outside of your vehicle. Along with the 2021 F-450's amazingly tough military-grade steel frame, you're in good hands in your Ford truck.
