2021 Ford F-150 Trim Levels

The 2021 Ford F-150 makes a splash with a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds when properly equipped. With a wide range of capabilities, configurations, and advanced technology to make it a truck ready for both work and play, you may be wondering which of its seven trim levels is right for you.

Our team at Andy Mohr Ford is ready to show drivers in and around Plainfield, Indianapolis, and Brownsburg what they each specifically provide, so you can feel confident you’re finding the right trim level for your individual lifestyle.

Ford F-150 XL: Simplified Towing Wherever You Roam 

With a 3.3-liter V6 engine producing 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, this base trim level of the 2021 Ford F-150 has strong towing capabilities—enough to pull your camper! Your 3.3L V6 engine will come standard with Auto Start-Stop Engine Technology, too, so you’ll save some gas. When your F-150 stops, the engine will shut off and then restart when you release the brake.

To lend a hand with hauling larger equipment, the XL is armed with Trailer Sway Control. When sway is detected, this feature comes to your rescue by applying the individual brakes needed to keep you firmly planted on the ground. You’ll also be able to hitch up and hit the road faster, thanks to a Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist.
