The 2021 F-150 will have a starting price of $30,635 with destination, according to CarsDirect based on a new dealer order guide. It would make it $195 more expensive than the outgoing F-150 and around $500 more than the Chevy Silverado.
If you're interested in the hybrid version, it can cost up to $4,495 extra. Upgrading to the hybrid from the entry-level 3.3L V6 adds $4,495, while stepping up from the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 adds $3,300. Choosing the hybrid in lieu of the 5.0L V8 or 3.5L EcoBoost V6 adds $2,500.
At $30,635, the new F-150's base price could make it a bargain. For reference, the cheapest 2020 Silverado starts at $30,095 for the 4x2 Regular Cab Work Truck while the lowest-priced 2020 RAM 1500 is the Tradesman 4x2 Quad Cab at $33,840. But what about the configurations that consumers are more likely to buy?
If you're looking to buy the popular F-150 XLT SuperCrew, prices will start at $42,005, $290 more than the previous year ($41,715). The 4x4 adds $3,495 for an MSRP of $45,500. We're still working on our full analysis, but we're seeing indications that buyers at the top of the F-150 range will see substantially higher prices.
So will the new F-150 be a good deal? That remains to be seen. Manufacturer incentives and discounts for choosing certain configurations can make some versions better to buy than others and make comparison shopping difficult. Stay tuned for CarsDirect's ongoing 2021 F-150 coverage as information becomes available.
