Honest, hard-working people are the heart and soul of Alberta—so it would make sense that they deserve an honest, hard-working truck: enter the 2021 Ford F-150, available at Fort Saskatchewan’s Heartland Ford. Not only does it stand head and shoulders above the competition when it comes to toughness, durability, and capability, but it’s also been Canada’s best-selling truck for over 50 years! Read on, and learn about how the 2021 Ford F-150 is the best truck available to get the job done, bar none.
Performance
If you’re after a truck with legendary performance, the 2021 Ford F-150 checks all the boxes thanks to a choice of six powerful engines and two incredibly-efficient transmissions. A 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 engine comes standard on Ford’s flagship F-Series truck, coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission with three selectable drive modes, that’s good for 290 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft of torque—and the engine choices only get more powerful. Efficiency and power combine in Ford’s EcoBoost® engine, represented by three of the engine choices in the F-150 lineup; from the 2.7L turbocharged EcoBoost® engine, capable of 325 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft of torque, to the 3.5L and High-Output 3.5L options offering 375 horses and 450 horses respectively, you’ll quickly appreciate the efficient and powerful performance that comes with EcoBoost® technology. Finally, a classic 5.0L V8 Ford engine making an appearance, its twin independent variable cam timing providing optimized power across the band, while the engine lineup is rounded out by the heavy-duty 3.0L Power Stroke® diesel V6, giving the diesel-powered F-150 440 lb.-ft of serious hauling ability. Available with the V8, diesel, and EcoBoost® engine options, Ford’s advanced 10-speed automatic transmission provides smooth shifting and highly-optimized performance; from improved low and mid range acceleration, upgraded gear spacing, and three overdrive gears, to its five selectable drive modes, there isn’t a smarter or more efficient transmission on the market—period.

Design
As much as heavy-duty performance starts under the hood, the smart and rugged design of the 2021 Ford F-150 ensures your truck takes no days off—that is, unless you allow it. A fully-boxed, high-strength steel frame makes this 2021 pickup the lightest and most rigid version yet, while the same state-of-the-art fabrication techniques involved in creating the frame have been applied across the F-150’s high-strength, military-grade aluminum-alloy body, resulting in a truck that’s lighter, stronger, and more durable than any that came before it. The improved strength-to-weight ratio of the 2021 F-150 is why Ford was able to offer so many incredibly powerful engines, along with exceptional fuel economy—not to mention best-in-class payload. Not only does this foundation allow for more power, it also makes a truck rugged enough to deal with whatever you throw at it; tested in the harshest real-world conditions Ford could find, there’s no reason the 2021 F-150 can’t handle the mercurial weather and rocky terrain found across our beautiful province.
Of course, the brilliance of the 2021 Ford F-150’s design stretches beyond it’s rugged foundation and into its incredible functionality. Beginning with smart towing features like AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ and the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, first-timers will be able to handle heavy loads—up to 13,200 lbs.—like seasoned vets. The best-in-class payload of the F-150 is bolstered by the most intelligent bed found on the market, with the available BoxLink™ cargo system offering flexible configuration options, while stowable loading ramps, deployable box side steps, LED box lights, and even an integrated tailgate step and lift assist make loading up the bed of the 2021 F-150 a cinch. For smaller cargo, SuperCab and SuperCrew® F-150’s feature fully flat rear load floors with under-seat storage, while a well-laid out cabin provides a variety of other storage options in addition to unparalleled creature comforts.
