2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost hybrid | Pickup Review | Driving.ca

All-electric trucks have been promised by a few manufacturers now, but don’t expect to actually buy one just yet. Practical battery trucks will likely get here one day, but it’s going to be later rather than sooner.

But engine-plus-electrification is here, and Ford offers it on its new 2021 F-150 hybrid. It’s not the first-ever full hybrid truck, but it’s the only one on the market right now. “Full” means it can drive on its battery alone, including in four-wheel-drive, under the right conditions.

Rather than a stand-alone model, the hybrid system is an option, which Ford calls PowerBoost. It’s on crew cab models only, available on every trim, including the base XL that was initially going to be fleet-only. The system self-charges through regenerative braking and engine power, and you don’t plug this truck in.
