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.

Brand context

About Ford

<p>Ford shifted away from cars this decade, focusing on SUVs and pickup trucks, with the Mustang as the lone exception. Fords are seldom leaders in their segments based on CR’s tests and surveys, but the small Maverick and full-sized F-150 trucks are notable standouts. Some other models score well enough to earn our recommendation, such as the Escape Hybrid and Bronco Sport. The Mustang Mach-E EV is Ford's highest-scoring current model. Overall, Ford's new car reliability is above average, but it varies, so used-car buyers should be mindful to check our ratings. </p><p><br/></p>
