2021 Ford F-150 - Capability Features | Ford AFG

BLIS^® WITH TRAILER COVERAGE

Available BLIS^® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage is a little added insurance out on the road. This system can help add confidence on the road by alerting you if a vehicle is detected in your truck’s or trailer’s blind spot. With the available telescoping trailer tow mirrors, you can get an even better look at what you’re towing, helping create a strong sense of security during lane changes and wide turns.

LANE-KEEPING SYSTEM

It happens. While on the job or heading to your favorite outdoor getaway, you’ve wandered too close to the edge of your lane. Luckily, the available Lane-Keeping System can help you stay in your lane, even during a moment of distraction. This smart feature scans your vehicle’s position between the lines in the road ahead and can alert you if you’re starting to edge out of your lane. Having trouble staying on track? After you’ve drifted a few times, you’ll see a coffee cup icon, letting you know it’s time to take a break.

PRE-COLLISION ASSIST WITH AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Hazards along the way can arise, anywhere, at any time. This feature is designed to scan the road ahead and can alert you to a potential collision with a vehicle or pedestrian detected ahead of you. If an impact becomes imminent and you don’t take corrective action, the brakes can apply automatically. But they’ll only activate if they’re needed.

AUTO HIGH-BEAM HEADLAMPS

We’ve all been there. Heading into a pitch-black stretch of road and having to turn on the high beams, then forgetting to turn them off as oncoming traffic approaches. Now, unlit roads, dark peripheries and other low visibility situations don’t have to catch you off guard. Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about blinding other drivers. So you can keep your focus — and both hands on the wheel.

INTELLIGENT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Tech that makes your long drive feel like a cruise. Not only does available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go help you keep your pace,* it can also slow down your vehicle if the traffic ahead has stopped or slowed. As soon as things clear, you’ll get right back to where you left off. And that’s not the only way it levels up your cruise control experience. The added Lane Centering feature scans lane markings to help keep your F-150 on track.

*If vehicle is stopped for more than three seconds, driver must intervene and press “RES” button or accelerator pedal to resume system operation.

REAR VIEW CAMERA WITH DYNAMIC HITCH ASSIST

Between glancing in the rearview mirror and craning your neck, backing up requires some multitasking. So we help make it easier. Standard on the 2021 Ford F-150, the Rear-View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist provides a great view of what’s behind your vehicle. Just make sure to keep the camera lens free of debris (like dust) and you can navigate Reverse with more confidence.

PRO TRAILER BACKUP ASSIST™

Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, backing up with a trailer can be challenging. This available feature makes it as easy as turning a knob – simply rotate in the direction you want the trailer to go and Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ responds accordingly.

HILL DESCENT CONTROL™

Hill Descent Control™ is essentially a cruise control system that uses traction control technology with anti-lock brakes. This system continually adjusts braking pressure to help control slippage and maintain a constant preset speed while you are going down a steep grade. This capability helps you concentrate on steering since you don’t have to apply the brakes or downshift the transmission. On a downhill grade, Hill Descent Control can maintain a vehicle speed between 3 and 19 kph. Above 32 kph, the system remains activated, but the descent speed cannot be set until you are below 32 kph again.

EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST

Traffic is rolling along smoothly when suddenly there’s a slow or stopped vehicle in your path. This available feature can help make it easier to potentially avoid a collision. It doesn’t steer for you, but it can provide extra steering support if the system’s warning goes off and you need to maneuver around the vehicle ahead.

ACTIVE PARK ASSIST 2.0

Parking made easy – even in tight parallel or reverse perpendicular spots. When engaged, it can help locate a potential spot. Then all you have to do is brake to a complete stop, shift into Neutral and hold down the Active Park Assist button – your vehicle does the rest. Available Active Park Assist 2.0 also offers park out assist with side-sensing capability so you can confidently navigate out of a parking spot when someone’s parked too close to you.

INTERSECTION ASSIST*

It’s not easy to traverse a busy intersection, especially when you need to consider other vehicles around you. Intersection Assist can help. Available Intersection Assist uses the front camera and radar sensors to detect oncoming traffic while you are attempting to turn left. If there’s a risk of a potential collision with an oncoming vehicle, your vehicle can alert you and apply the brakes. This just might give you more confidence when attempting to make a left turn at an intersection.

*Intersection Assist does not detect all vehicles in intersections, pedestrians or cyclists. It does not replace safe driving. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations.
