2021–2026 Ford F-150

The 2021 F-150 offers strong engines and clever features like foldaway gear selector creating flat workspace, PowerBoost hybrid with loads of power getting 20 mpg, and super roomy very quiet crew cabs. However, didn't make significant step forward overall with only incremental improvements in ride comfort and handling agility. 27 recalls reported. 2.7L turbo V6 gets only 19 mpg.

The PowerBoost hybrid delivers exceptional 723 miles single-tank range achieving 24.2 mpg combined with strong 430 HP and 570 lb-ft torque providing Raptor-like urgency, extremely quiet cabin with refined ride quality, and city electric-only mode allowing silent cruising. Intermittent drivetrain clunkiness with loud clicks and kicks. Price steep at $65,256 XLT with cloth seats. Heavy traffic depletes battery quickly.

The hybrid delivers exceptional powertrain with 430 HP and absurd 570 lb-ft torque with impressive refinement, dramatically improved next-level interior closing gap with Ram 1500 using higher quality materials, and useful work features (Pro Power Onboard, Interior Work Surface, Max Recline). Unnecessarily loud running boards like raising landing gear. Doors require far too much effort to shut, need slamming - poorest tested. Sloppy adhesive visible at door seams.
