The Ford PowerBoost engine is the most potent part of your new Ford F-150. This iconic truck has been the most popular choice in America for decades because it is, simply put, the best one out there. Ford combines power and durability with an informed design philosophy that other automotive manufacturers lack. The company goes out into the world to gather feedback from drivers of the F-150, which is then incorporated into the new versions of the vehicle.
Below, we take an in-depth look at the dynamic and mighty Ford PowerBoost powertrain. It pairs a forceful gasoline engine with a hybrid system to achieve both efficiency and strength. This Bell Ford review will help you decide what powertrain to select for your new Ford F-150 truck.
The Ford F-150 PowerBoost hybrid engine starts with a muscular twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine. “EcoBoost” denotes the presence of turbochargers. This engine is impressive in its own right, enhancing the muscle of a V-6 via the efficient power of twin turbochargers. It is currently offered on the new Ford F-150 truck.
Ford does not stop with the robust V-6, however. The design team added a hybrid electrical system to it, which includes a 47-horsepower electric motor and a 1.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that work together to make the truck even stronger and, most importantly, more fuel efficient.
If you’re ready to drive a new vehicle for a low monthly payment, then you may want to lease a new F-150 truck with the revolutionary PowerBoost engine driving it along.
The F-150 PowerBoost engine specs are quite impressive. The hybrid powertrain is mated to a smooth ten-speed automatic transmission that lends the vehicle a refined driving experience despite its size and strong acceleration capabilities. You’ll be the ruler of the road in a new Ford F-150 with the PowerBoost powertrain.
The Ford PowerBoost Engine power output is a whopping 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque. It’s no wonder that this powertrain is a very popular choice among Americans of all stripes. The hearty growl of the engine will lift your spirits every time you start it ā almost as much as the fuel savings you’ll get from the incredible MPGs will.
Speaking of which, the Ford PowerBoost engine MPG ratings are immense. Even with four-wheel drive, which normally leads to some dreary MPGs, the Ford F-150 PowerBoost gets an EPA-estimated 22/24/23 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). 1 During this time of high gas prices, the Ford F-150 with this hybrid powertrain can perform on the job site and save you money at the pump.
A 2024 Ford F-150 equipped with the Ford PowerBoost engine has a maximum towing capacity of 11,200 pounds. 2 This is an incredible number, all the more so when it’s paired with the fuel efficiency and raw horsepower offered by this hybrid configuration.
This pickup configuration also offers incredible utility to drivers both on and off the road. The PowerBoost powertrain allows you to use your vehicle as a mobile generator that can help you finish off a demanding job or have fun at a campsite. It can be configured with 120- and/or 240-volt outlets. The generator capability of the PowerBoost powertrain is yet another compelling reason to invest in a new hybrid Ford truck.
At its core, the “EcoBoost” designation simply means that the engine is turbocharged. An EcoBoost engine is part of the PowerBoost powertrain configuration: the twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine, which is thoroughly an EcoBoost engine. You’ll find several other EcoBoost engines but only one PowerBoost engine.
The term “PowerBoost” refers to an EcoBoost engine that has been paired with a battery and motor system to form a hybrid powertrain.
While we’re on this topic, it’s worth noting that the Ford electric and hybrid vehicle lineup is quite impressive. There are a number of hybrid Ford vehicles out there, and the all-electric Ford Mach-E Mustang offers the performance potential of the Mustang that inspired it alongside savings at the gas station.
We also couldn’t have been more thrilled than when the Ford F-150 Lightning release date rolled around. The Ford F-150 Lightning is the automaker’s first full-size all-electric pickup truck ā this EV brute gives you up to 10,000 pounds of conventional towing capacity, 2 a sub-four-second 0-60 time, and up to an EPA-estimated 320 miles of range 3 for the 2024 model year.
