Things To Consider About the F-150 Hybrid

Hybrid engines: they aren’t just for small cars anymore. Now you can get them in trucks such as the Ford F-150 Hybrid. Let’s explore the latest evolution in hybrid vehicle technology.

Game-Changing Truck Technology

Gasoline-electric hybrid technology is over 100 years old. The earliest use in vehicles was mostly limited to trams. Though there were some experimental cars built, it wasn’t until the late 1990s when Toyota introduced the Prius, the first mass-produced hybrid.

And nearly a quarter-century later, Ford’s game-changing F-150 offers a class-exclusive full hybrid V6.

What does that mean for truck shoppers? Let’s take a look at some key stats.

Tons of Capability

If you think a full hybrid engine isn’t up to the task of towing and hauling big loads, think again. Ford’s F-150 truck with the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 teams up with its Hybrid Electronic 10-speed automatic transmission to crank out capability that puts it right up there with the big boys.

The Numbers

• 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 with 10-speed Hybrid Electronic automatic transmission
  • 430 horsepower, 570 lb-ft. torque
  • Payload: 2,120 Towing: 12,700
• 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission
  • 400 horsepower, 500 lb-ft. torque
  • Payload: 3,250 Towing: 14,000
• 3.0L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V6 with 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission
  • 250 horsepower, 440 lb-ft. torque
  • Payload: 1,840 Towing: 12,100

  • 400 horsepower, 410 lb-ft. torque
  • Payload: 3,325 (best-in-class) Towing: 13,000

Jaw-Dropping Fuel Economy

Let’s be honest here. You almost never see the words “truck” and “fuel economy/efficiency” in the same sentence. If you’re like most truck drivers, you long ago resigned yourself to the fact that getting the capability you need often comes with cringeworthy gas mileage. That’s about to change. If you were afraid you would have to switch to a diesel engine to get better fuel economy, take a look at these numbers.

The Numbers (City/Highway)

• 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid
  • 25/26
• 3.5L EcoBoost V6
  • 18/24
• 3.0L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V6
  • 20/27
• 5.0L Ti-VCT V8
  • 17/24
