Must see new Ford vehicles in 2021

It’s an exciting year to check out Ford vehicles, with offerings like the latest smart technologies, including wireless charging, cloud connectivity, and voice recognition. Additionally, you’ll see attributes such as largest-in-class standard screens and top-of-the-line driver assist features.

Here’s what to look forward to from Ford vehicles in 2021.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

Driving a Mustang is fun and easy, as the 2021 Mach-E features an updated Co-Pilot360 package that adds road edge detection and blind spot assist to its already standard pre- and post-collision brake assistance, lane centering, adaptive cruise control, cross-traffic alert, hands-free driving, speed sign recognition, and automatic parking.

Road edge detection senses the edges of a lane or road, while blind spot assist helps you avoid unsafe movements.

Additionally, in hands-free mode, an infrared driver-facing camera tracks eye gaze and head position to verify your eyes are on the road. If you’re distracted, you’ll see a visual prompt as the vehicle slows, if necessary, until you return your attention to the road.

The Mach-E features an electric battery with a 230-mile estimated range.

Ford Bronco

The 2021 Broncos arrive in summer, with models for all types of adventurers.

The Big Bend will be optimized for mainstream off-roading, with optional high-clearance suspension, trail control for off-roading, and trail one-pedal driving. It will also offer comforts like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated seats.

Black Diamond takes off-roading to the next level with standard rear-locking differential, steel front and rear bumpers, and heavy-duty skid plates.

The Outer Banks series will have 18-inch high-gloss black-painted aluminum alloy wheels, LED headlamps and taillamps, and an optional 12-inch LCD touchscreen.

Other options include the Badlands series for extreme off-roading and the Wildtrak series for high-speed off-roading.

Reservations are open for these popular vehicles.

Ford F-150

The F-150 continues to deliver on performance and technology in 2021.

The XL, starting at $28,940, offers a 3.3-liter V6 port-fuel/direct-injection engine with 290 horsepower and auto start/stop technology. In addition, the included Sync 4 infotainment system — found in the F-150, Mach-E, and Bronco — helps you find inexpensive gas and open parking spots.

Upgrade to the XLT to take advantage of Ford Co-Pilot360 software or to the Lariat for leather-trimmed seats and a push-button start.

Connecting a trailer is easy now with the F-150’s rearview camera and its dynamic hitch assistant feature, which helps you guide the hitch ball to a trailer tongue, with a clear sightline.

Ford Edge

This year’s Ford Edge boasts a newly standard largest-in-class 12-inch center screen with optional connected built-in navigation and conversational voice recognition, along with two additional USB ports to give backseat passengers access to device charging.

“Ford Edge is the choice for tech-savvy customers on the go,” Edge marketing manager Angela Cascaden said in a news release.

The returning Edge ST-Line will offer a unique ST-style grille, lower sport cladding, signature LED lighting and a priority on value over performance. Edge ST will continue to offer its specially tuned 2.7-liter EcoBoost with 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, so this SUV is outfitted for dynamic handling.
