The F-150's maximum payload capacity is enabled by models with an eight-foot bed configuration, the 5.0-liter V-8 in regular cab, and RWD.

F-150 Performance

There are six options when picking up a powertrain for the F-150: the all-new F-150 hybrid, a 290-horsepower V6 (the base engine), a 400-horsepower EcoBoost V6, a 250-horsepower turbo diesel,  a 325-horsepower twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, and a 400-horsepower V8. If you are going to use it for commuting to work, the smaller EcoBoost V6 is a perfect choice, but if you are going to use it for heavier-duty, then towing, diesel, or V8 engines, are ideal. However, the hybrid and the larger EcoBoost V6 are the most impressive powertrains, irrespective of how you are using your F-150. They always make you feel like you have power in reserve to ride on the highway, and they provide the best acceleration. The 2021 Ford F-150 brings 24 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in the city— that’s a pretty good deal for large trucks. The 2021 Ford F-150 is easy to drive irrespective of the size.
