Chronology
Predecessor| Ford F-Series (thirteenth generation)

The fourteenth generation Ford F-Series is a range of pickup trucks produced by Ford, introduced for the 2021 model year.[3][4][5] This was the first generation to include a fully-electric and hybrid pickup truck among the offerings, with the F-150 Lightning model having entered production in 2022.[6][7]

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 and pickup box structure.[8] The bed and cab configurations remain the same: regular cab and SuperCab 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. 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).

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.[9] 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.[10] The 3.3 L V6's six-speed automatic was dropped, now being paired to a 10-speed automatic.[8][9] New for this generation of F-150 is a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain. Dubbed PowerBoost, 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.[9]

## Hybrid

F-150 SuperCrew

Available only with the SuperCrew, the hybrid version of the F-150, called the PowerBoost, combines a 3.5 L EcoBoost V6 with a 47 hp (35 kW) hybrid motor/generator between the engine and transmission. A 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is located under the bed. The net gain is 47 hp (35 kW) and 70 lb⋅ft (95 N⋅m). All the electrical power also allowed Ford to have up to 7200 watts in the bed of a truck, far exceeding the capacity of a normal 120 V receptacle. A 20 percent fuel economy increase over a base 3.5 EcoBoost has been observed at combined city/highway driving. The hybrid option is $2,500 added to the base price, although it can be more depending on the trim.[11]

* 0–60 mph acceleration: 5.4 seconds
* 430 hp (321 kW)
* 570 lb⋅ft (773 N⋅m)
* Payload: 2,120 pounds (960 kg)
* Towing capacity: 12,700 pounds (5,800 kg)
* two 120 V, 20 amp household outlets standard
* optional system with four 120 V, 20 amp household outlets and one 240 V, 30 amp NEMA L14-30R outlet[12]

## F-150 Lightning

Main page: Engineering:Ford F-150 Lightning

Ford unveiled an electric version of the Ford F-150 called the F-150 Lightning, reviving the model name for the first time since the previous Lightning was discontinued after the 2004 model year.[13] It debuted on May 19, 2021, and deliveries to customers began in May 2022. The F-150 Lightning has dual motors. It is built at the new Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan.[6]

Ford had previously announced the intention to produce a fully-electric light pickup at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show in January 2019. Prototype electric test mules on an existing F-150 chassis were tested during 2019, including a record-setting demonstration test tow of 1,250,000 pounds (570,000 kg) on rails.[7] Ford unveiled the truck, and released the model name—F-150 Lightning—on May 19, 2021.[6]

## Raptor

The F-150 Raptor was announced in February 2021, and features a 3.5 L twin-turbocharged V6 gasoline engine carried over from the previous generation.[14]

## Updates

Interior

For the 2022 model year, the F-150 saw several minor updates, alongside the major introduction of the electrified F-150 Lightning. Most notably, the 3.0 L Power Stroke turbo-diesel engine was discontinued because of low consumer demand.[15] In addition, a new Black Appearance Package is available to order on XL (only with the optional STX package), XLT, Lariat, and Platinum trims.[16]

For the 2023 model year, Ford launched a special F-150 Heritage Edition to honor the 75th anniversary of the first Ford F-Series pickup. The Heritage Edition, available only with the XLT trim, features special two-tone paint jobs in five different color combinations and exclusive seat coverings. The SuperCab was dropped from the Lariat trim, leaving only the SuperCrew available in either a 5-1/2 or 6-1/2 ft bed. Also for the 2023 model year, the F-150 Raptor R was introduced to compete with the Ram 1500 TRX.[17]

## Australian export

In March 2022, Ford announced plans to officially export the F-150 to Australia beginning in 2023.[18] The truck is imported in its native left hand drive configuration and converted to right hand drive to conform to Australian Design Rules by RMA Automotive in Mickleham, Victoria.[18] At launch, only the crew-cab body style with the XLT and Lariat trims are offered and powered by the 3.5 L EcoBoost V6 mated to the 10-speed Ford 10R80 automatic with four-wheel drive.[19] Order banks for the Australian F-150 opened in late February 2023 with deliveries expected in the third quarter of 2023, and pricing before on road costs starting at Template:AUDConvert.[20]

## Safety

Sitting higher than other non-pickup truck consumer vehicles, the Ford F Series vehicles have significantly larger blindspots in which people or other cars are invisible to the driver.[21] According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford F-series vehicles are part of more fatal crashes than any other car in the US.[22]

The 2022 F-150 was tested by the IIHS and its top trim received a Top Safety Pick award:[23]
