2020 Ford F150 review

The Ford F150 saw a lot of changes and upgrades for the 2020 model year. For starters, the 2020 F150 received new standard equipment across all trims. For example, every trim now includes an available Wi-Fi hotspot (data plan required to activate).

Meanwhile, individual trim levels received some upgrades of their own. The Raptor trim, for instance, now comes with a Smart Key and satellite radio (paid subscription required). On the Platinum trim, an upgraded turbocharged engine is also standard. The Lariat trim receives upgrades like standard four-wheel drive and a blind-spot monitoring system.

Across the board, new optional features were also available on the 2020 F150 when it was sold as new. Examples of available upgrades when sold as new include seat massagers, running boards, and rear defrosters.

The amount you should expect to pay for a used 2020 Ford F150 will depend on many factors, including the overall condition of the vehicle, the truck's mileage, and trim/features. However, according to CarMax sales data, average pricing for a used 2020 F150 ranges from $40,998 to $78,998.

Price range is for current inventory on CarMax.com as of July 2022. Price excludes tax, title, tags, and $399 CarMax processing fee (not required by law). Applicable transfer fees are due in advance of vehicle delivery and are separate from sales transactions.

There are some notable differences between the 2020 F150 and the 2021 F150. The 2021 F150 marked the launch of the truck's 14th generation of production and saw a complete redesign.

One of the biggest changes between the 2020 and the 2021 F150 is that the latter has a hybrid powertrain option for improved fuel economy. While fuel economy may vary for reasons such as driving/road conditions and vehicle history, the 4WD 2021 Ford F150 with a 3.5L V6 hybrid engine and automatic transmission gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined. See fueleconomy.gov for more info.

For 2021, the F150 also saw the addition of another off-road-oriented trim known as the Tremor, which comes standard with four-wheel drive and selectable drive modes.

The cabin of the 2021 F150 got a refresh—but many standard features remain the same as the 2020 model, from trailer sway control to vinyl flooring. Notably, however, the 2021 F150 base trim does receive a standard eight-inch touchscreen.

Many factors can affect a truck's towing capacity, including the weight of the passengers, cargo, and options/accessories. When properly equipped, however, the 2020 Ford F-150 can tow up to 13,200 pounds with its 3.5L EcoBoost engine and Max Trailer Tow Package.

On some model years, the Ford F150 was offered with an STX trim that was designed with style and performance in mind. Specifically, this trim added such features as premium upholstery, upgraded wheels, and revised exterior styling to set it apart.

Even more specifically, STX stands for "Sports Truck Xtreme," though this trim was discontinued on the F150 after the 2016 model year. On later model years (including the 2020 model), the STX is available not as a trim but as its own package add-on for trucks when sold as new. On the 2020 F150, the STX package adds features such as 20-inch aluminum wheels and cargo box decals.

Yes, the Ford F150 received a total redesign for the 2021 model year. This year launched the full-size pickup truck's 14th generation of production. While the exterior styling of the truck didn't change significantly for the 2021 model year, subtle changes are noticeable.

The more notable differences with the 2021 F150 can be found underneath the hood; this is the first year that the truck is available with a hybrid powertrain and onboard generator on some trims.
