Ford claims that the F-150’s rumored debut date is not happening.
Recent spy photos of the Ford F150 have been seen in abundance. They are not obscure. These photos show the updated exterior of the truck. They also include detailed shots of the grilles and headlight designs for various F-150 trim levels. Camouflage is usually seen on test vehicles such as this. This means that a debut is imminent. According to Ford Authority, it is not April 29.
We heard rumors about the debut and contacted Forddirectly to get some context. A Ford spokesperson confirmed to Motor1.com that the debut would not take place on April 29th, but did not say when the F-150 will be officially launched. This is it. Straight from the horse’s mouth. Truck fans, we are sorry to ruin the excitement.
Is this really a spoiler? The latest spy shots are clear and give us a good idea of the truck’s future design. The new F-150 will be a more conservative and clean-looking than the controversial Chevrolet Silverado. It seems to balance the F-150’s nose with the attractive Ram 1500. We received a lot of criticism via email and comments from readers. Some people saw GMC headlights, and a Ram grille rather than something that is easily identifiable as Ford.
The rest of the truck could be replaced by a 4.8-liter engine or a range EcoBoost engines. It would make sense to keep a V8 in your lineup, since many truck buyers prefer displacement over boost. Diesel power is also a favorite, so the 3.0-liter Power Stroke engine V6 should remain with the F-150. The hybrid model will also be available, although details about its powertrain remain unknown. The all-electric model could be on the streets by the end of next year.
We must see the 2021 F-150 before we can get those trims. Although we don’t know when it will arrive, Ford has been showing off uncovered prototypes all around Dearborn. It is highly likely that an official debut will occur before the summer.
