The 47-hp electric motor has been integrated into the transmission and helps to provide plenty of grunt. Besides the base 3.3-liter, every other engine provides strong torque and smooth, easy acceleration, but the hybrid is the star of the show here. Regardless of the model you choose, every F-150 engine is paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission. However, the king of the current F-150 range is the new 3.5-liter PowerBoost full hybrid V6 with 430 hp and 570 lb-ft. The only diesel in the lineup is the 3.0-liter Power Stroke with 250 hp and 440 lb-ft. If you still believe that there is no replacement for displacement, there is a 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 that makes 400 hp and 410 lb-ft. There are two gas-powered EcoBoost units to choose from, starting with the 2.7-liter V6 that makes 325 hp and 400 lb-ft, while the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 impresses with 400 hp and 500 lb-ft. There are six different engines on offer throughout the Ford F-150 pickup truck, starting with the base 3.3-liter naturally-aspirated Ti-VCT V6 that makes 290 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid is one of the quickest large trucks you can buy, but the ballistic Ram 1500 TRX is the one to get if all you care about is straight-line speed. Of course, rear-wheel-drive versions of the F-150 are offered as well. ![]() ![]() There's also a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque or a 5.0-liter V8 producing 400 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque. At the other end of the Ford F-150 towing capacity spectrum, the 3.3-liter V6 can only haul 5,000 lbs in certain configurations. In independent testing, this engine was able to power a four-wheel-drive variant of the F-150 pickup to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, and it can tow up to 12,700 lbs. However, the most impressive outputs are reserved for the hybridized 3.5-liter PowerBoost V6 which generates 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque, making it the most torque-rich F-150 ever. There are three other gas-powered V6 engines on offer, with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 providing the F-150's best towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, which is 800 lbs more than the outgoing F-150 could tow. Making the least power in the lineup is the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 with 250 horsepower, but this is countered by a useful 440 lb-ft of torque. ![]() The new Ford F-150's performance ranges from adequate to truly brisk for a large truck.
