The next-generation of performance is on its way - with Ford soon to begin production on its 2019 F-150 Hybrid. This platform (which should arrive late next year) promises segment-shattering capability, connecting drivers to the economy they crave and the power they expect.
As Newest Hybrid Cars explains, the 2019 F-150 will deliver exceptional capability. A 2.3L EcoBoost engine will anchor the drivetrain, offering an anticipated 280 HP and 310 lb.-ft of torque. An electric motor will provide enhanced efficiency, instantly engaging when the platform slows to less than 20 MPH (this feature is currently shared on the Transit Connect Hybrid and serves as a way to reduce overall emissions in areas where traffic is both heavy and slow); and a 10-speed automatic transmission will further improve performance, ensuring seamless gear-to-gear changes.
This will be no traditional hybrid. Instead Ford will connect drivers to premium power - and, while no official MPG specs have been provided, critics expect the platform will achieve (at least) a 10% overall economy increase. Waste no more time at the pump.
