2021 FORD F-150 POWERBOOST HYBRID ROAD AND TRAIL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid Platinum SuperCrew is presented as a capable and luxurious work truck, particularly highlighting its innovative Pro Power Onboard system. The reviewer found the interior to be exceptionally well-appointed, featuring high-quality materials, comfortable massaging seats, and practical design elements like the fold-flat work surface. The hybrid powertrain delivers ample power, evidenced by a swift 0-60 mph time of 6.58 seconds, though real-world fuel economy on a challenging mountain climb was noted as lower than expected, around 20 mpg. The vehicle's four-wheel-drive system, even in its automatic setting, proved more than capable for the rough overland trail, managing obstacles with ease thanks to its ground clearance and power. The Pro Power system successfully powered a live broadcast setup, demonstrating its utility as a mobile generator. While praised for its comfort, capability, and features, the reviewer suggests that for extreme off-roading, the Raptor model would be a better choice, and the $72,000 price point is acknowledged as high, though justified for those needing a premium, feature-rich work truck.
