This is a first look at the ’21 Ford F-150, caught while testing on the streets of Dearborn, Michigan.

Ford is expected to significantly update its fullsize pickup, after investing heavily in the current model and its aluminum construction for 2015 (along with tech and powertrain upgrades for 2018), the redesigned model is likely to focus on styling and engine changes.

It’s no secret Ford has been hard at work on a hybrid version of the F-150, and that’s likely to be introduced around the time the new model comes out, along with the plug-in hybrid model. A full-EV model could come shortly thereafter. But most models should get the usual EcoBoost engines, likely with upgrades over the current versions. The recently introduced V6 turbodiesel could return, given Ford’s investment in certifying that engine. The naturally aspirated V6 and V8 engines, meanwhile, could be culled due to economy and customer demand concerns. A new 4.8L V8 is also rumored to replace the current 5.0L, although there’s no word on whether it may receive turbocharging along the lines of the Ecoboost V6 models.

Technology should also advance with the next F-150, as more advanced driver assistance features should become available. Expect to see the redesigned F-150 sometime next year, with production starting in late 2020.

What's the purpose of going down 0.2L in engine size? Would it be a new engine from scratch, or very close to the 5.0l Architecture ?
Now, if it's a 4.8TT, that sounds lovely.

On the Aluminum news front, reports show that repairing the Aluminum F Series trucks is actually cheaper than repairing the older steel ones.

I'm not a huge fan of the F-Series, kinda getting bored of the look.. Raptor yes I'd buy!! $60K it just doesn't do it for me. I kinda like the Gmc's better

The raptor is on another level, but the regular F150’s are boring as hell looking. Very bland. Trucks are being designed more and more for city slickers these days.

Uhh, I thought trucks were supposed to be bland and basic because they were just used for work? Now they are supposed to be stylish for the construction worker and the farmer and then boring for the city folk? I think we have it backwards here.

I didn't buy my 15 for the looks...even though I think it looked better than the rest of the full sized trucks at the time. Love me 5.0, love how it rides and it makes damn short work of towing my bassboat... that's the most important aspects to me.

I may get a 20 but I may wait to drive the 21 before i get my next teuck

Not at all, just not the “see how big I can make the front headlights and grille” treatment. That is getting boring.

Purely subjective, but the F150 just doesn’t look all that masculine anymore.

I think they went backwards with the tail lights.
