New F150: evolution, not full redesign Login/Join

Last night, new 2021 F150 revealed. It’s nice, but at first glance I mistook it for a gmc. I do like the foldable shifter feature. Definitely not too excited about the weak electric/hybrid.

Overall, imo, a very conservative update. I hoped for more. But it will sell well.

You mistook it for a GMC because GMC copied the headlights from the 2015 F-150. And these infotainment screens have gotten too big. They totally ruin the look of the dashboard in cars/trucks.

I have a 2018 Platinum that is a very nice truck with lots of features. I do like the new dash with the 'Yuge' television. I wonder if it is a QLED or an OLED screen?

My guess is the Limited will push $70,000 sticker.

The 12” screen was first available in the Ram several years ago...

No mention of any structural changes...just some bling...be prepared for a nice price hike!

The truck I have now will probably last me another 20 years, but I do miss all of the convenience and style of the F-150. This upgrade looks fantastic.

Looks quite nice.

My '16 F150 was a good truck, apart from the squeaky/rattly sunroof.

All trucks are looking the same. I think the GMC looks like a Ram and now the Ford will look even more like them both, especially with the rear fender badging.

Yep, all of the 1/2 tons look like siblings now, except for the butthole ugly Nissan

The Nissan is odd looking, no doubt. But the ugliest pickups on the market are the Chebbies. If I was in to Garbage Motors, I’d buy a GMC instead. Front end is better looking.

They are definitely chasing Ram in regards to the clever Easter eggs, big screen and revamped interior.

Yep, and what Ford just announced for the F150 is nothing that will make people choose it specifically over its competitors. Evolution? Nah, just another Ford vehicle that's losing its lead. I'd predict RAM numbers continue to climb as Ford's continue to plateau if not fall.

In Ford’s defense, it’s basically the same truck as the 2015 model. It’s not a complete redesign. The Ram was redesigned for 2019.

When Ford releases the next redesign everyone will be talking about how the Ram, etc is ancient.

I wouldn't bank on it. Its been quite a while since Ford had a real consumer level winner. I personally waited for five years for an American Ranger to finally be made available and after driving it and waiting to see what the quality aspect looked like, I walked away from ever buying one. That's why I hold little hope for the upcoming (at some point in the next five years) Bronco.

Also, look where Ford falls on this JD Power ranking. They have more problems than just that their vehicles are getting really stale.

F150 is still the best selling vehicle in America. Every time someone comes out with a new full-sized truck there are people that say Ford is going to lose their sales lead. Hasn’t happened yet.

I like it particularly for the hybrid engine option. I swear, I'm the only person in the world that wants a hybrid pickup. Does everyone just hate power and fuel economy? Or is it just resistance to change? I don't get it.
