2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid: EV for Anyone - TST Off-Road

[@TheSmokingTire]

What would you use the ProPower for?

[@bbqftw2]

Charging Sur Ron X while having lunch at the trailhead before the second ride of the day

[@joshw2929]

Glamping!

[@SkyyMi]

Day to day I would use it for charging tools while working on cars away from home. Now having a truck with pro power definitely would have me out camping more often.

[@m4cker]

For race people that haul their cars to the track, this f150 is going to be the go to truck.

[@jayfxdx]

Love my pick-ups and have owned several different versions of F-150s and one 250 over the past 20 years. I work oilfield construction in Western Canada and am an avid outdoorsman and these modern pickups are so comfortable and versatile its crazy. One thing I'm concerned about is the long term reliability and viability of all the electronics and options! My current ride is a '16 150 w/5.0 and 6 speed purchased for long term reliability and ease of maintaining. I bought it new with plans of driving it into the ground cause these new rigs are WAY TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE!!!!

[@RichardJoashTan]

Glad that I will buy a fully loaded F150 Hybrid Platinum anyway.

[@tylersasaki2935]

Very good video. I did enjoy how the review developed over your trip. I would have liked to see more of you using the pro power at camp even though it would have amounted to you just plugging things in and using them.

We bought a 2021 Powerboost with the 7.2kw inverter. It will definitely be used in place of our portable generator for camping.

[@sportturismo_4s]

Zack, you're doing great! I can tell you are a little bit nervous but you've done a great job so far. Cheers :)

We use the 7.2kw Pro Power onboard generator regularly with our travel trailer. Powers our 30amp Jayco flawlessly.

The ping-ponging severity of lane keep assist needs to be talked about more in car reviews.

[@flatline7310]

There are multiple settings for the lane keep assist. It can be strict or relaxed.

[@adamhinckley5062]

About the quiet part. I work at a Ford Dealership and the other day while i was driving a Powerboost, I was awestruck by how quiet it was... Especially when it runs in electric-only mode. Comparing the 2021 back-to-back with a 2020 F-150 is legitimately a night and day difference in terms of perceived quality and the feeling of the drive.

[@dragospahontu]

It's a decent engine

[@LandParkColby]

I just purchased this same truck, only in white ... about 3 weeks in and everything mentioned in this video is spot on. I do find the transmission annoying at times - it will skip 2nd gear on a light acceleration and kind of thunk, I don't like that. The B&O stereo is unbelievable for a truck, the quiet is like an Audi, the acceleration is like a serious sports car, the tech all works and it gets great mileage - 26, 22, 23, 24 mpg on first four fillups w/ 87. The only thing I do not like is the outside speaker that makes noises so the hybrid can meet the US safety standards (I have three layers of duct tape all over mine, helps but you can still hear it a bit).

[@The87por924]

20:30 Could the lurch while braking be caused by the regenerative braking being on the other side of the transmission? This was an issue many reviews noted with Hyundai's hybrid in comparison to the Prius. It was basically a pause in braking while the transmission shifts

[@SkyyMi]

Great video, that sprinter has everything except locking cabinets. Was relieved to hear on the podcast the mess did not soak into the main harness, would have been a real pita to deal with.

[@Jsuarez6]

Great video. Loved the Door Ajar commentary. So true. How hard was it to make a graphic for the doors open. They have it for each seat belts seat that aren't fastened when someone is sitting in the respective seats.

[@Sptsmn700]

The 10 speed transmission replaced the 6 speed in 2017 for the ecoboost 3.5. And 2018 for all engines except the N/A v6.

[@TheSmokingTire]

But it wasn't standard on all models (including the V6) until this year.

[@adamcoatta7546]

Travel trailer game changer!

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

4:13 "Other big changes for 2021 is a 10 speed transmission replacing the old 6 speed." Ford made that switch 4+ years ago for the 2018 model.

[@TheSmokingTire]

From what I'm reading, Ford started offering the 10-speed in 2018 but it is now standard , regardless of engine selection. ZK

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

​@@TheSmokingTire The 290hp/ 265tq 3.3L base engine in the work truck must have slipped my mind.

[@joshgutierrez7380]

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

The 10-speed automatic transmission isn't new for MY2021. It's been available since the 2017 Raptor came out. And then for MY2018, all other F-150's got the 10-speed automatic, except for 3.3 V6 F-150's which still used the 6-speed.

[@TheSmokingTire]

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

@@TheSmokingTire You’re right about Ford making it standard across the board now, no matter the engine size. But Ford first offered it in 2017 when the 2nd gen Raptor came out early that year. It’s technically not new for 2021.

[@surfminion]

@@DodgerBlueRobert 10 speed was standard for 2.7 and 3.5 Ecos in '17 (regardless of model) and '18 for Coyote. 6 speed was just the base n/a V6 fleet unit. Not sure who at Ford told ST that lol. Have a '19 5.0, 10 speed standard lol.

[@daleyb93]

@24:15, did that skater just get credit carded? 😂

[@Ughmahedhurtz]

Did they fix the seat coolers? I have a 2015 F-150 Platinum FX4 and had to put in an aftermarket hot-side exhaust on the electronic heat-exchangers (Peltier devices) for the seat-back portion, otherwise the hot side would just exhaust into the air space between the leather and the seat cushions, causing the whole seat to heat up faster than the cooler would cool. Even with that fix, the coolers are still lackluster compared to Dad's Ram 3500 seat coolers.

[@billcapetanos6825]

The 10 speed started in 2017. Should be the same 10R80 as before.

[@evalonious]

14:20 😂 Furnace Creek! I Drove that road once in a 93 Camery with no A/C! Even my drinking water got hot! Was easily 120-130° A time before we had GPS and looked like a good shortcut on my paper road map! At least it was a Toyota and did not overheat.🤣😅😥

[@nickhanscome]

Gave me some All Cars vibes. Really enjoyed it

[@ridezx6r112]

It's probably worth saying that they've had a 10 speed in the 3.5 since 2017 and all other F150s since 2018. No 6 speed since then

[@paulm6481]

F150 is indeed the perfect workhorse. I get it with the V8 but the economists are strong. They do everything well not just one thing

[@dieselboy740]

The 10speed is kinda clunky and indecisive when cruising in normal mode. The downshift clunk into 3rd is something you’ll have to get used to unfortunately. Mine hasn’t got better in 25k. I have heard that a tuner helps the transmission strategy. Under any other drive mode or harder acceleration where it’s not skip shifting it’s really nice. More positives than drawbacks. I do prefer the tow haul mode as it turns the fake engine sound down.

[@RichardJoashTan]

Clunky and indecisive is perfect for me.

According to Ford, the 10-speed was an option before but now it is standard across all F-150s.

[@surfminion]

@@TheSmokingTire Nahh minus the base commercial fleet models, the 10 speed was across all models starting in '17 for the Ecos, and than '18 for the Coyote. It was standard for all blocks, no 6 speed since 2016 (except for the base n/a V6 fleet units which I think went 10 speed as well eventually). Have a 19 5.0 Platinum, 10 speed was standard.

Interesting that many of my complaints about the 10 speed transmission in my '19 Ranger are still present in the new F-150...I think Ford needs to fire the guy who does their transmission tuning because its just not good on the 10 speeds...

[@RichardJoashTan]

But I will buy a fully loaded F150 Platinum Hybrid anyway.

[@surfminion]

Tell me about it, 10 speed 5.0 here and not even Ford tsbs fixed it. Custom tuning did though, trans has been flawless since, even better mileage with no bs epa "gear skipping". And it just rips through the gears smoothly and fast, plus Coyote loooooooves responding to tunes for a n/a block. Haven't had on issue, clunk, bang, drunk shift, or gear holding coming to a stop since. GM cars and trucks don't have the issues the Ford 10 speed variants do, they (ironically given its GM) figured out stock programming far better. Trans are literally identical internally, just Ford had drunk engineers program theirs....

[@exia989]

[@adamnagel7436]

Is that why GM is going all electric by 2035? If they did that they would still pay the penalty for gasoline engine. It would also make the units even more heavy and expensive. The reason they don't do it is because it doesn't make sense. It's more efficient to have gas power the vehicle than to use gas to make electric.

[@Seryous]

WTF is the point of hands free driving? Seriously? Why is ANY manufacturer wasting their time trying to develop a useless technology. I can see subtle features like parking assistant, or maybe even remote parking, but driving hands free on the road? What is the point? You will never be able to trust it to not end your life suddenly, and the government is never going to allow self driving vehicles to be on the road. Who will be responsible in an accident, the driver seat occupant, the passenger, the manufacturer? It's seriously a waste of time, effort, money, tech, and most of all my patience.
