Economy proves a rarity within the pick-up market - with Alberta drivers forced to sacrifice value for performance. To change this, Ford is delivering hybrid technology to North America; and its 2021 F-150 is rewriting every light-duty rule.
According to CNET, the new F-150 Hybrid promises class-leading economy - propelling past its main competitors (the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ram 1500). Anchored by a 3.5L V6, this truck generates up to 25 MPGs in the city and 26 MP6s on the highway. Its use of port and direct injection technologies assures maximum resource distribution, precisely allotting fuel to accommodate an ever-changing power-band; while an electronic 10-speed automatic transmission boasts custom overdrive modes and wider spacing to enhance gear responses. This affords more fluid handling and eliminates costly downshifting.ÂÂ
Compare this to the Silverado and 1500, which fail to deliver the necessary efficiency (Chevy earns a Combined MPG rating of 21, and Ram manages a meagre 22). Ford, in comparison, generates an impressive 25 and utilizes its PowerBoost engine suite to keep Alberta drivers away from the pump.
