Review and specifications

2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid

Redesigned for 2021, the workhorse F-150 is loaded with tech and active safety features. The cabin is very quiet, and the crew cab versions we tested are super-roomy. The PowerBoost hybrid version has loads of power and gets 20 mpg overall. The popular 2.7-liter turbo V6 provides effortless acceleration and a respectable 19 mpg overall. The ride is still stiff and handling is ponderous. Controls are straightforward, but the interior is spartan. Ford's Sync 4 infotainment system is very easy to use. Clever features include a foldaway gear selector that creates a flat workspace, a tailgate designed to serve as a workbench, and an optional built-in generator to power tools. Both FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection are standard. Ford's BlueCruise active driving assistance system is available. The all-electric Lightning has an EPA-estimated range between 230 and 320 miles.

About Ford

Among Ford’s SUVs and pickups, the smallest options usually earn our highest ratings. Consumer Reports has recommended the Mustang Mach-E EV, the thrilling Mustang coupe and convertible, and the Maverick, a small pickup truck available with a hybrid powertrain. Most other vehicles, however, score low in our road tests and have average to below average reliability. With some exceptions, used Fords can be a risk. The Ford F-150 pickup combines true truck capabilities with quiet, roomy cabins, making it one of the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. However, our tests found that recent F-150s have a stiff ride, unresponsive handling, and below average reliability. The Lightning, an EV version of the F-150, drives better and is faster than its gasoline equivalent. The Bronco SUVs has exceptional off-road ability and classic boxy styling, but suffers from issues like wind noise and long stopping distances.
