By now, we know quite a bit about the 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid, the first-ever hybrid Ford F-150. We know how much it’ll cost, and we know that it consists of the Ford 3.5L EcoBoost V6 and 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, coupled with a 35 kilowatt (47 horsepower) electric motor that’s integrated into the transmission. What we don’t know, exactly, is what the 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid makes in terms of power.
Ford is holding those numbers close to the vest until we get closer to the truck’s launch this November. All we know is that is that the PowerBoost will be the most powerful drivetrain available in the new F-150, and Ford says that it will deliver a targeted EPA estimated range of around 700 miles and at least 12,000 pounds of available maximum towing.
Regardless, it does appear that a 2021 F-150 with the Ford 3.5L PowerBoost is more than capable of taking down a Ram 1500 equipped with FCA’s 5.7L Hemi V8 and eTorque mild hybrid system while towing a 5,500 pound trailer. That’s because we can clearly see the result of that interesting drag race in this video.
Clearly, this footage was shot at some sort of Ford event, but it’s notable nonetheless. The Ram’s drivetrain in this configuration is rated at 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, which should put it at a large disadvantage compared to the PowerBoost. After all, the current-gen F-150’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6 produces 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, or 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet in High Output, Limited trim.
We’ll have much more on the new F-150 soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for the latest Ford F-Series news, Ford F-150 news, and continuous Ford news coverage.

This whole market is about to change in a big way. eHybrid 2.0’. Zero loss in performance and 4x range increase. Patents issued.
Formal announcement coming soon. Think 1000NM on tap – all the time.
Along with a second company – that is compatible with any car with an OBDII port
The core technology generates 15KW of power. Enabling dynamic suspension, big HP gains via super capacitor and /or electronic positive displacement supercharger. The super cal will add up to 250HP and handle all surge power. So stop and go traffic or maintaining 65mph on the freeway – that power comes from the super cap. So net range goes up significantly.
Lastly, the ability to power your home; a/c, fridge – everything. Easy to setup. Just connect our power monitor to the nearest outlet (garage) and simply plug the included power cord from power from the 3 prong outlet on the car to the power box (which monitors the grid).
The suspension e-tech enables, dynamic camber/caster, toe and cones with magnetic dampeners and dynamic control arms, pan hard etc. So at the tree – it setups for the launch, as you accelerate, it dynamically neutralizes, as example. 4 presets and a turner option allowing specific values to be entered.
Updates will be on LinkedIn.
A huge amount of water is required to obtain lithium, besides pollutants and by products. During the 80,s Cuautitlan’s assembly plant was testing fairmont with hydrogen. Suddenly they dropped the project and buried the vehicles in plant’s grounds. Big corporate mistakes?
