There may be more.
Automakers have been showing their irreverence over the past few years by adding small details to vehicle designs. Fiat Chrysler has been most open to these design flourishes. They have gone as far as adding the Detroit skyline to certain Jeep models, while omitting General Motors headquarters at the Renaissance Center. Ford now has the 2021 F150.
The Blue Oval has been a little cautious, it must be said. The United States will have one Easter egg on every truck, but the two others are completely dependent on the trim.
This is the most obvious when you open one F-150’s doors. A trim strip wraps around the horizontal portion the dash. This creates another of the C-shapes designers created for the truck. An engraving of the American flag is located at the end, which is usually obscured by the door. The 50 stars won’t be there, but you will find the stripes that signify the original 13 colonies.
You can only get the other two Easter eggs if you have a specific trim. The XLT comes with the Sport package. This will give you a nice road map of Detroit. It strips away all the freeways and shows off the radial plan that Augustus B. Woodward, the chief justice of the Michigan Territory in early 1800s, envisioned. Every XLT Sport model has the map in its door panels.
King Ranch customers get a nice touch on the top of the center stack. The 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment screen is surrounded by a metal “horse collar”. It features laser engraving of the King Ranch Carriage House. Although it is harder to spot than the Detroit Road Map, this one feels and looks much better.
Ford hinted at additional Easter eggs for the F-150. With only three of them (two being trim-specific), we are inclined to believe the company. When the 2021 Ford F-150 arrives at our offices in the fall 2020, we’ll be watching for any additional styling details.
