Ford F-Series (fourteenth generation)

The fourteenth-generation Ford F-Series is a range of pickup trucks produced by Ford, introduced for the 2021 model year. This was the first generation to include a fully-electric and hybrid pickup truck among the offerings, with the F-150 Lightning EV having entered production in 2022. The F-150 positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup.

Chronology
PredecessorFord F-Series (thirteenth generation)

Sharing a strong visual resemblance to the previous generation, the 2021 F-150 underwent a redesign of 92% of its parts, carrying over only its cab, pickup box structure, and font design (including the tailgate script). The bed and cab configurations remain the same: regular cab and SuperCab (extended cab) trucks are available with 6.5-and-8-foot (2.0 and 2.4 m) beds, while SuperCrew (crew cab) trucks are available with 5.5-and-6.5-foot (1.7 and 2.0 m) beds (the SuperCab with 8-foot (2.4 m) bed was dropped for 2024). 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 on higher-end trims; now on all trims starting in the 2024 refresh).

The powertrain line is largely carried over from the previous generation, with a 3.3 L V6, 2.7 L and 3.5 L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6s, a 5.0 L V8, and a 3.0 L turbo-diesel V6. However, the 5.0 L 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. All engines are paired to the 10-speed automatic transmission first introduced with the 2017 F-150 equipped with the 3.5 L EcoBoost engine. New for this generation of F-150 is a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. Dubbed PowerBoost (the name being a blend between Power Stroke and EcoBoost), this powertrain is the first to be offered in a Ford pickup truck, pairing an electric motor with the 3.5 L V6 EcoBoost engine. The fourteenth generation F-150 is considered the first full-size true hybrid truck since GM's CVT-only Silverado/Sierra 1500 Hybrid was last offered in 2013.

Added to the lineup was a new Tremor trim level (the name derived from that of the Super Duty line and originally used as a special sport trim package for the 2014 F-150).
