The Ford F-Series is poised to enter its 14th generation. The new F-150 will go on sale in the fall as a 2021 model, and its 40-page order guide is packed full of features, options, and equipment. However, you won't find inflatable rear seat belts in the mix. According to CarsDirect, the safety feature isn't offered for the new truck and a Ford spokesperson confirmed this in an email to Motor1.com.

Furthermore, Ford also confirmed that inflatable rear seat belts will be deleted from other models as they are freshened or updated. In place of the inflatable belts will be other technologies, which for the F-150 means standard-issue pre-tensioners and load limiters on outboard rear seats. Other vehicles will eventually receive similar technologies, according to Ford.
Look for Ford to announce horsepower ratings and specific pricing across the spectrum closer to the F-150’s on-sale date later this year.
