Last year saw quite a few excellent new Ford vehicles come out. However, the Ford F-150 and the Mustang Mach-E represent two exceptional Ford vehicles that really stood out among the rest, thanks to their performance, features, technology, and durability. You can check out both of these vehicles if you visit our dealership at Seminole Ford. No matter what you want in a vehicle, the F-150 and the Mustang Mach-E offer quite a bit, so you can find what you need from one of these vehicles. Drivers in the Seminole, OK area should read on to see what made the F-150 and the Mustang Mach-E the North American Vehicles of the Year.
The 2021 Ford F-150 Earned the Title of North American Truck of the Year
The 2021 Ford F-150 overcame competition from the likes of the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX and the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave to win the North American Truck of the Year award. The new Ford F-150 represents the only vehicle that received a complete redesign, unlike the 1500 TRX and Gladiator Mojave. The new Ram 1500 TRX does come with an incredible 702-horsepower engine, but the other merits of the 2021 Ford F-150 secured it the award.
One thing that helped the 2021 F-150 win this award includes the outstanding amount of durability when comparing it to the competition. The new F-150, like all Ford trucks, comes specifically designed to hold up extremely well, even in difficult conditions in Shawnee, OK and through challenging tasks. With its new redesign, the 2021 Ford F-150 comes built using a steel frame and an aluminum body to make it both lightweight and extremely durable. It also stands out thanks to its impressive reliability rating, which remains a 4.5 out of 5 from JD Power.
The performance of the 2021 F-150 also separates it from even other excellent full-size pickup trucks of the same model year. Drivers in Holdenville now get a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds from the 2021 Ford F-150. The new model year brought an increase of 800 pounds in the vehicle's maximum towing capacity when you compare it to the 2020 Ford F-150, which towed a maximum of 13,200 pounds. The hauling of the F-150 also comes second to none when properly equipped. The updated F-150 can haul a maximum of 3,325 pounds in Wewoka when properly equipped.
The engine lineup of the 2021 F-150 remains varied, with six different engine options for the Ford truck. You can choose from the base 290-horsepower V6 engine, the 325-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a 400-horsepower EcoBoost V6 engine, a 400-horsepower V8 engine, a 250-horsepower turbodiesel engine, and finally, an F-150 hybrid engine that gives you 430 horsepower. Even the base engine makes a fine choice for many drivers. However, if you plan to mostly use the F-150 for every day commuting to and from work in Prague, the 325-horsepower EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 engine will probably work better for you. Alternatively, the diesel or V8 engines remain better suited for regular heavy-duty towing with the 2021 Ford F-150.
The 2021 Mustang Mach-E Won Thanks to its Performance, Interior, and Technology
When you look at the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E winning the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year Award, the biggest factor remains its performance. The 2021 Mach-E represents an electric vehicle that offers a variety of great engines, including the base 216-kW electric motor with 290 horsepower, the 258-kW electric motor providing 346 horsepower, and the 358-kW electric motor, which gives you 480 horsepower. All these electric motors feel powerful, and you can enjoy a long driving range in the Seminole area with the 2021 Mustang Mach-E, too.
The 2021 Mach-E offers a beautiful interior. You also get comfortable and spacious front and rear seats. The infotainment system of the 2021 Mustang Mach-E comes with a large touchscreen, and this system appears user-friendly, too.
