The 2021 Ford F-350 has rolled onto the market and quickly become a favorite of Ford enthusiasts. Imposing and aggressive, this truck is hard to miss on the road and the ranch. However, while the F-350 is a beast of a truck, its handling is surprisingly agile and athletic. If you're considering this workhorse as your next vehicle, keep reading to see why we are impressed with this iteration of the Ford F-350. more 1. Well-Suited for Multiple Terrains Unsurprisingly, this tank of a truck is ready to get the job done, on or off-road. All-wheel drive is an option for this truck, but rear-wheel drive brings a commendable performance. No matter what type of drivetrain you have, with the twist of a knob, you can customize the performance of your truck to suit the terrain. The default driving mode is Normal, but you'll also be able to choose from Deep Sand/Snow, Towing/Hauling, and Economy (fuel saving) driving modes. There is even a Slippery Terrain setting. These selections help you maximize your truck's performance and keep you as safe as possible while driving in uncertain conditions. 2. Off-Road Ready While the Slippery and Deep Sand/Snow driving mode options are excellent for off-road journeys, you may want to consider upgrading if you plan on spending a great deal of time off the pavement. The Tremor Off-Road package is an incredible option for wilderness lovers. This package is available on certain trim levels and provides everything you need to brave the woods. We especially love the Rock Crawl setting included in the Tremor Package. However, if you're not a complete off-road fiend, you may be perfectly happy with the Trail Control System that comes stock with the F-350. The Trail Control System works as a cruise control of sorts for off-road driving, providing peace of mind and an effortless adventure. 3. Towing Capabilities The options for what you can haul are virtually limitless with the F-350. Equip your truck with a gooseneck hitch, and your towing possibilities will indeed be endless. You'll even be able to haul up to an incredible 37,000 pounds. We've yet to meet a competitor that can match this kind of sheer pulling power. Sometimes keeping an eye on a large trailer can be tricky; that's why Ford created the Pro Trailer Backup Assist feature. This feature makes throwing it in reverse a breeze by allowing you to have a 360-degree view of your surroundings, thanks to multiple cameras on your vehicle. 4. Simple Loading and Unloading Maneuvering large items in and out of a high truck bed can be challenging. Luckily, the Ford F-350 does its best to make the process as simple as possible. If you need to reach the truck bed from alongside the cabin, you can use power-deployable running boards. The vehicle also includes a tailgate step which makes climbing in and out of the bed much more manageable. The tailgate step even stows away neatly when not in use. This powerful truck has everything you need to get even the most strenuous of jobs done. Come on over to Mid-State Ford in Summersville, WV and take this imposing truck for a test drive today!

The 2021 Ford F-150 is a solid pickup for someone who wants something large but light. The combination of full-size and light-duty gives it a unique mix of agility and power, and those are just two of the key features of this vehicle. Let's look at a few more. 1. Incredible Engine Options We weren't kidding back there when we said this thing has power. There are several engines to choose from, including one for fuel efficiency and a diesel pick, but the engines that most drivers recommend are the base model's standard engine and the most powerful engine of the group. The base engine is a fantastic little EcoBoost, a 3.5-liter V6. It has a high-performing 500 lb-ft of torque paired with 400 horsepower for a respectable performance with lots of prowess. However, the 5-liter V8 is the one that power-lovers adore. This one has 400 lb-ft of torque and 400 horsepower, and produces a seriously desirable performance, especially when given a challenge such as a large load to tow. more 2. Tows Well and Easily Speaking of that challenge, the maximum challenge you can give this truck is 14,000 pounds to tow. You can only haul this much when the Ford F-150 has that ultra-powerful V8 engine, but you can still haul close to maximum capacity on the other engines too. Although it's lighter than your average full-size pickup, the Ford F-150 doesn't act like it's lighter. In fact, it beats out some heavier competing models. It also beats these models in the payload department, where you can have 3,325 pounds in the truckbed alongside that intense load for towing. Who needs a moving truck when you have a powerful pickup, right? Or for a more fun activity, you can pile the truckbed high with beach gear and haul a large boat to the ocean for some fun with the family. 3. Delightful Performance The Ford F-150 would appear to have two disadvantages. First of all, it's a full-size pickup, and those aren't exactly the most athletic vehicles in existence. Secondly, the engine is too powerful to provide a smooth ride ... or so you'd think. In reality, the Ford F-150 has neither of these issues you see in other trucks. It has incredible steering dynamics, fast responses, smooth performance, and no body roll. Drivers really praise ride comfort and handling. 4. Superb Safety You have to love a vehicle that makes your journey a little safer, which the Ford F-150 absolutely does. It's decked out with the expected stuff like ample front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and superior traction. However, there are also some driver assistance features that bring peace of mind and a safer ride. These include parking assistance, lane-keeping technology, and tire pressure monitoring from inside the vehicle. Visit us at Mid-State Ford to get a taste of this truck in person. Take it out for a test drive and see if the features stand out in person as much as they do in writing.
