That tailgate now incorporates some very useful features. On the Limited model, the chamfered bright tailgate applique gives way to a simpler rectangular one – ironic given the alterations on the rocker panel.

The rear of the 2021 F-150 is most easily distinguished by its simpler, triangular taillights – gone are the dated polygonal lamps. The wheel arches look burly and muscular, integrated more cleanly into the F-150’s bodysides. The lower door skins carry a chamfered contour, compared to the horizontal body line found on the outgoing truck. Since its exterior dimensions, proportions, and side window openings are all but unchanged from 2020, the new Ford F-150 looks very similar to the truck it replaces.

Overall, we like the graceful, new front styling – it might be less aggressive, but it’s definitely fresh and modern. The hood and fenders are more seamlessly integrated, with fewer sharp edges than before. We like that it doesn’t notch into the headlights anymore, with a rounded shape that almost recalls the F-150 sold between 19. The C motif is still there, but it’s now split between the headlights and the foglights.Īt least on the 2021 F-150 Limited, the grille is a bit less bold and blocky, taking on a more refined appearance. The old pickup had C-shaped headlights (with unusual four-segment LED daytime running lamps on higher trims) that have given way to larger, squarer headlamp elements. The 2021 Ford F-150 looks quite a bit more modern viewed from the front. 2021 Ford F-150 Interior: New Design, Features, And Tech Facing Forward
