Choosing the perfect Ford pickup for your needs has more to with what size and strength of truck you want than each one’s style. Though there are some style differences between each Ford truck, each features the same tough personality Ford has been known to instill in their trucks. Below is a quick guide to each 2021 Ford truck model to help you decide which is right for your needs.
Ranger
The 2021 Ford Ranger is the smallest of the Ford pickup family. This is the blue oval’s entry into the midsize truck class. The 2021 Ranger can tow up to 7,500 pounds.
If you’re looking for a truck that’s well-suited to take on an adventuring lifestyle, the Ranger is the way to go. If you plan on leaving pavement often, opt for a model equipped with the Tremor Off-Road Package to get features such as the four-wheel-drive with Terrain Management System drive modes and Trail Control. One of the most alluring aspects of the 2021 Ranger is its allowance for customization, which lets you build the perfect truck to handle your adventures.
F-150
The 2021 F-150 is Ford’s light-duty truck and is the model that has sold the most out of any truck from any manufacturer for over four decades. The 2021 F-150 offers a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds and a best-in-class maximum payload rating of 3,325 pounds.
For drivers who want a truck that transitions well from weekend warrior activities to the workweek grind, the F-150 is an excellent option. The F-150 gives you the option of one of six engines, six trim levels, three cab sizes, and three bed lengths. The trim levels are largely focused on improving your list of in-cabin features, though you’ll see some exterior upgrades by moving through them as well. This is true for all Ford trucks, so be sure to aim for a trim level that meets your budget while offering the features you’re the most excited about.
Super Duty
If you think of Ford’s truck lineup as a scale that ranges from fun to work, the Super Duty sits at the latter end of the spectrum. Though that’s not to say the Super Duty can’t have a good time. The 2021 Ford Super Duty is offered in three strengths: the F-250, F-350, and F-450. Each of these can be further configured through trim levels, engine options, and body styles.
The primary difference between each is towing capacity. An F-250 can tow up to 20,000 pounds with just a conventional tow hitch. The F-450 with a gooseneck rig and dual rear wheels can handle up to 37,000 pounds.
