CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Ford F-150
overall

Summary
With 9,558 currently listed for sale and an average price of $33,605.00, 33.0% of 2021 Ford F-150s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Ford F-150 4.84 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.83 / 10.
85.6% of 2021 F-150 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Ford F-150 stands out because Ford redesigned its bestseller with more technology and an available hybrid powertrain. It keeps the truck’s bold styling but adds a revamped interior with more convenience features and the new Sync 4 infotainment system. Ford also offers a wide range of choices, including six trim levels, three cab configurations, three bed sizes, six powertrains, and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which makes the F-150 especially flexible for buyers who want to tailor a full-size pickup to specific needs.
That breadth is a major part of the appeal, and the available PowerBoost hybrid is especially notable because it is the first time Ford has offered an F-150 hybrid. The truck’s strengths also include multiple body styles, multiple powertrain options, and impressive technology. At the same time, the base engine is described as underwhelming, the interior materials feel cheap, and advanced safety features are not standard, so the 2021 F-150 is best understood as a highly configurable pickup that emphasizes capability and tech while still leaving room for improvement in some entry-level areas.

The XLT 302A is the best bang for your buck. The powerboost motor has amazing fuel economy without sacrificing power, plus you get the benefit of a mobile generator. There is a lot of tech in this truck, so time will tell as far as quality, but so far, this truck is perfect.

If you find a listing below $33,106.34, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2021 Ford F-150 a good car?
Yes — the 2021 Ford F-150 earns a 4.84/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.
Owners consistently praise its powerful performance, modern technology, and excellent ride comfort. They also like the fuel efficiency of the smaller engines and the truck’s versatility, which makes it a strong fit whether you need a work truck, a daily driver, or something for long-haul use.
The trade-offs are familiar ones: the base engine can feel underwhelming, and the interior materials can seem less premium than you might expect at higher prices. The overview points to a truck that aims to balance work capability with everyday usability, and the market reflects that with 32.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.
Is the 2021 Ford F-150 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.84/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable, trouble-free, and easy to count on, especially when you value versatility and strong everyday usability. The expert evaluation also emphasizes good road manners and a powertrain lineup that gives you plenty of choice, which supports confidence in long-term ownership.
Ford’s warranty coverage is about average for the segment, so your used-buying risk comes down more to maintenance history, mileage, and how the truck was used than to any standout coverage advantage.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Ford F-150?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a history report on any truck you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks for signs of hard towing, off-road use, or deferred maintenance. Focus on condition details that matter in a pickup: cabin wear, bed damage, brake and tire condition, and whether the truck’s equipment matches the seller’s description.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: Base XL materials are spartan, while King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited move much closer to a luxury feel.
- Powertrain: Base models use a 3.3-liter V6, while other options include a 5.0-liter V8, twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engines, a Power Stroke diesel, and the PowerBoost hybrid; the hybrid is powerful, but it is not the best choice if towing is your top priority.
- Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams; lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, hill-descent control, and intersection assist cost extra.
- Infotainment: Sync 4 brings an 8-inch standard touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and over-the-air updates; higher trims can get a 12-inch screen.
- Fuel efficiency: The PowerBoost hybrid returns 25 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive and 24 mpg combined with four-wheel drive, while the Power Stroke diesel is rated at 27 mpg highway with 4WD.
Which 2021 Ford F-150 trim should I buy?
The 2021 Ford F-150 is offered in 6 trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited.
Here's the short version:
- Base trim: XL is the work-focused choice, but it starts with spartan materials and fewer comfort features than the higher trims.
- Sweet-spot trim: XLT is the most balanced pick if you want a better mix of equipment and value without jumping into luxury pricing.
- Premium/top trim: King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited bring the most upscale cabin materials and the richest feature content.
- Off-road trim: None of the described trims is positioned as an off-road-focused daily-driver compromise here.
Ford Co-Pilot360 safety features are standard, but several helpful driver-assistance items remain optional on lower trims.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Ford F-150?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare options but not so much that every listing is deeply discounted.
- Deal availability: 32.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,591 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.78% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 84.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $33,106.34, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Ford F-150's resale value?
The current average of $33,465 sits slightly below last year's $35,518.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on trim, condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on broad market momentum alone. Well-kept trucks with desirable features should still hold buyer interest better than rougher examples.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.84/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2021 Ford F-150 safe?
It earns a good roof-strength rating from the IIHS.
It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.
Ford Co-Pilot360 is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. Lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, hill-descent control, and intersection assist are available, but not standard across the lineup.
A key caveat is that full crash-test ratings were not yet available when this model launched, so you should pay close attention to the specific safety equipment on the truck you’re considering.
Should I buy a 2021 Ford F-150 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 32.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.78% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.84/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- The redesign brings Sync 4, a revamped cabin, and the available PowerBoost hybrid.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $29,024, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $33,465 average.
- It offers a comfortable, practical cabin with strong towing-focused capability.
The bottom line: If you want the newer redesign, better tech, and broader feature set, the 2021 is the stronger all-around choice. If your priority is spending less up front and you’re comfortable giving up some of the newer equipment, the 2020 is the value play.
