Park a 2021 F-150 Anywhere with Ford's Augmented-Reality Tool

From Car and Driver

• Since going to the dealership has gotten more difficult, Ford has built an augmented-reality tool so that you can see what the 2021 F-150 would look like in your driveway without leaving your home.

• And since it's automated reality, you can actually put it anywhere.

• The 2021 F-150 is expected to reach dealerships this fall.

Now that going to a dealership has gotten significantly more complicated, Ford has released a new tool so you can see what a 2021 F-150 would look like in your driveway—without ever leaving your home. Using a new augmented reality tool, you can use your phone to project the new F-150 anywhere you’d like, realistic or not.

The tool works fairly well and lets you resize the F-150 so you can see how it would work in spaces where it otherwise wouldn't fit. And it lets you pretend that you have a toy-sized F-150. We virtually parked ours in parking lots, mini pools, porches—just about anywhere that we could point our phones.

Fun aside, the 2021 F-150, released in late June, received mild updates including worksite-oriented features in the cab and on the updated tailgate, as well as a new hybrid powertrain. It is expected to reach dealer lots this fall and start around $30,000 while topping out above $70,000.
