ALL-NEW FORD F-150 REVIEW // 2021 POWERBOOST HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The Motormouth couple reviews the all-new 2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid, highlighting its status as Canada's best-selling vehicle. They praise the hybrid powertrain's immense power (430 hp, 570 lb-ft torque) and its utility as an onboard generator, capable of powering tools or even a house during outages. The interior receives significant praise for its improved quality and technology, particularly the 12-inch touchscreen and digital driver display, making it competitive with rivals like the Ram 1500. The power-operated running boards and innovative tailgate design are also noted as convenient features. However, the reviewers point out drawbacks in drivability, citing heavy steering, a challenging turning radius, and occasional lurchiness at low speeds, particularly with throttle and braking response. They also express concern about the reliability of the mechanized folding center console. While acknowledging the hybrid's impressive performance, both reviewers lean towards the diesel option for its proven reliability and smoother long-distance driving experience, despite the hybrid offering more power and torque.
