Ford’s F-150 has always been known for its performance. But now, the 2021 Hybrid model is preparing to burst onto the scene, offering fuel savings and environmental benefits. Does that mean the new F-150 has lost a step? In a word: no.
The 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid isn’t about compromises. Yes, the machine now has electric power thanks to a fully hybrid powertrain—the only one available in a pickup—but it has still been built Ford tough with the same laboratory tests all F-150s must pass. The truck’s been pushed, managing to withstand frozen tundras, 100-degree temperatures, salt baths, and more. And the Hybrid’s 1.5-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery was subject to a simulation of 10 years of road torture in only 82 real-time hours. Of course, it passed this examination with flying colors, too.

Power is everything you’ve likely been hoping for—and more. The 2021 F-150 Hybrid’s 3.5-liter PowerBoost engine creates 430 HP and 570 lb.-ft. of torque. Superb!
