Just in time for the 2021 F-150, Ford’s got a specialized version of the hybrid for SEMA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a big year for Ford as it prepares to launch an array of new SUVs, as well as the complete makeover of the ever-popular F-150. And the automaker hopes to boost appeal for that pickup, as well as the new Bronco and Bronco Sport utes by showing off an assortment of customized versions during a virtual SEMA Show webcast.<\/p>\n

And the other important new product isn\u2019t being ignored during today\u2019s \u201cFord Auto Nights\u201d event \u2014 the already sporty new Mach-E battery-electric vehicle gets an upgrade intended to make it a serious competitor on the track.<\/p>\n

The annual SEMA show, which normally is held around Halloween, was scuttled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. But, \u201cFrom upfitters to outfitters, and from hot rodders to outdoor adventurers, the show must go on, and our first-ever Ford Auto Nights SEMA Show Special keeps the customization and innovation going virtually,\u201d said Kim Cape, director of Ford global brand and integrated marketing. \u201cThis passionate, die-hard audience with an appetite for our Ford brand is vital to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

What’s a Mustang without a GT version? For SEMA, the new Mach-E gets a GT model.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cape isn\u2019t exaggerating. On average, F-150 buyers spend about $2,000 on accessories, everything from bedliners to hitches to off-road gear. The automaker has promised to have hundreds of aftermarket parts available when the new Bronco Sport reaches showrooms in the coming months, with more in the works for the Bronco and, of course, the 2021 F-150.<\/p>\n

Along with the four new models, the Ford Auto Nights event also will show what\u2019s available for another one of the maker\u2019s extreme machines, the new 2021 Ranger Tremor, which will be offered with an array of \u201cbolt-on modifications,\u201d Ford noted in an advance release.<\/p>\n
