1 WORST AND 8 BEST THINGS ABOUT THE 2024 FORD F-150 POWERBOOST HYBRID

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Ford F-150 receives a mid-cycle refresh, focusing on streamlining powertrains and enhancing technology. While the "worst" aspect identified is a slight reduction in maximum towing and payload compared to the previous year, the "best" features are numerous. The PowerBoost hybrid system is a standout, offering impressive torque (570 lb-ft) and efficiency (23 MPG combined), with the ability to drive in full electric mode for significant portions of city driving. The Pro Power Onboard system, with its generator capabilities, is highly practical. The updated styling, particularly the revised front fascia and lighting, gives the F-150 a more imposing presence. Inside, the Platinum trim boasts a luxurious cabin with a massive head-up display, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a large center screen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driver assists, including the improved BlueCruise, are also a significant upgrade. However, the Platinum trim's high price point ($90,000 as tested) is questioned, with the Lariat trim suggested as a better balance of features and affordability. The reviewer ultimately praises Ford's ability to offer a flavor for every buyer, with the hybrid powertrain being a highly recommended option.
