When was the F-150 last redesigned?

The Ford F-150's last major redesign was for the 2021 model year, introduced in 2020.


That redesign brought a new high-strength steel frame, independent rear suspension, a revamped interior and exterior design, and a wide range of powertrain options including a full-hybrid variant—the changes that defined the current generation of the F-150.


What changed in the 2021 redesign


Below are the major changes introduced with the 2021 redesign:



  • New high-strength, fully boxed steel frame and available independent rear suspension

  • Redesigned exterior styling and a more modern interior, with upgraded cargo and storage solutions

  • Expanded powertrain lineup, including the 3.5L EcoBoost, 2.7L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8, and the new PowerBoost full-hybrid

  • 10-speed automatic transmission across many trims

  • New tech features such as a larger, 12-inch touchscreen and enhanced digital instruments; Pro Power Onboard generator option


These elements together defined the 14th generation F-150, representing the most significant update in years.


What has happened since 2021


Since the 2021 redesign, Ford has issued mid-cycle updates and added new variants, including the all-electric F-150 Lightning introduced in 2022. The gasoline F-150 lineup has seen feature and trim updates through 2023 and 2024, but Ford has not announced or released another full-generation redesign as of 2025.


Summary


The last major redesign of the Ford F-150 occurred for the 2021 model year (unveiled in 2020). Since then, the truck has continued to evolve through updates and new variants like the Lightning, without a new generation introduction as of today.
