2021 FORD F-150 HYBRID REVIEW: BEST-SELLER NOW THE BEST TO BUY

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid is presented as a compelling option, potentially making it the best F-150 to buy. The reviewer highlights its impressive fuel economy, achieving 9.6L/100km in mixed driving without specific effort, significantly better than the non-hybrid EcoBoost. The powertrain's seamless transition between electric and gas, combined with strong low-end torque from the 3.5L V6 and electrification, delivers a refined and peppy driving experience, producing 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. A standout feature is the integrated 2.4kW (optional 7.2kW) mobile generator, offering substantial power for job sites or camping. However, the review points out significant drawbacks: the 10-speed transmission's lurching and clunkiness, particularly between second and third gear, is a major disappointment. The intelligent adaptive cruise control's aggressive braking when speed limits change is also criticized for being jarring. While the Lariat trim offers luxurious features like a large touchscreen and comfortable seating, the reviewer notes the high cost of optional packages and some interior build quality issues, such as a rattling door panel, are unacceptable at this price point.
