2021 FORD F-150 HYBRID TEST RESULTS; WHAT CLASSIC VEHICLES SHOULD BECOME EVS? | TALKING CARS #328

EV Channels Review

This episode of Talking Cars delves into the 2021 Ford F-150 and its hybrid variant, alongside a preview of the 2023 Genesis GV60. The F-150 Hybrid, while not a fuel-economy focused vehicle, impresses with its powerful 430-horsepower PowerBoost V6 engine, offering substantial torque for towing and a smooth, responsive driving experience. The reviewers highlight its luxurious Lariat trim and innovative features like the folding gear shifter creating a work surface and the Pro Power Onboard generator function. However, they note that ride and handling remain incremental improvements over previous models, with the RAM 1500 still leading in cabin luxury and comfort. The Genesis GV60 is presented as a stylish, albeit visually polarizing, small electric SUV sharing a platform with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, featuring unique elements like a 'Boost Mode' and a rotating crystal gear selector, though its estimated range is noted as playing catch-up to Tesla. The show also debunks the myth that EVs cannot be rustproofed and offers advice on avoiding dealer sales traps.
