Comparison: 2023 Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid vs 2023 Toyota Tundra i-Force MAX Hybrid

The Ford F-150 Powerboost is the first true hybrid pickup truck on the market. A long time ago, there was the GMC Sierra Hybrid but it basically had a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This F-150 Powerboost is the real deal. But it no longer has the market to itself with Toyota introducing their first hybrid pickup truck, the Tundra i-Force MAX.
The hybrid powertrain in this Ford F-150 is only available with one engine; a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6. However, while it may not be a V8, the total system output is quite a bit at 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque (320 kW / 773 Nm).
On paper, the Tundra Hybrid’s powertrain is a little bit more powerful than that of the F-150’s hybrid powertrain. The Tundra i-Force MAX is motivated by a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 that is aided by an electric motor which is in between the engine and transmission. Total output is 437 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque (326 kW & 790 Nm).

I bought a 2023 Ford F150 Powerboost and so far is excellent, great on every aspect, I did test drive a Tundra but it didn’t convince me , previously I owned a 2013 Ford F150 Ecoboost and the upgrade is just incredible. In my opinion I do agreed with you.

[@louiekaragiannes4464]

I bought the 2021 powerboost brand new. After two years of ownership, I love it more than any vehicle I have owned. I have hauled cross country, gone on family vacations, camped, daily commutes to downtown city, grocery runs, and baseball practice. Tons of room for family, tools, and everything else. Get great fuel economy over 23mpg, have raced a mustang and won, and towed a full size sedan over 2300 miles. Zero power train issues as of yet with 60k miles. Had a few recalls on little shit like wiper blades and tail gate, but nothing that wasn’t fixed for free and in under an hour. My only complaints have been I wish the front seats were more comfortable, feel very basic for $67k American.

I haven’t been as lucky. Mine is a 2022 with Max Tow and the rear axle bolts have sheared twice now and is currently back at the dealer waiting for a new transmission unit. All at 33k miles.

[@MrFordguy73]

My 21 powerburst Powerboost has been mainly good, a few recalls. I have had one aux pump failure, but I also think that's a teething problem with a bad batch of parts. Being a 21, it was pretty close to covid. However, my experience has been good. I can easily get 25 to 27 MPG in City. I can get 24 on highway but it's a little more tricky with elevation, wind etc. I love my storage behind the seat since there's no battery there. I love having my generator 7200 w in the bed for tailgating, movie night at the drive-in, camping, powering my RV, working with power tools, it really is a game-changer. I have powered my RV out of the bed several times. Love this truck, hope they keep refining it over the years.

I took delivery on my 2021 F150 power boost with the pro trailer package October 2 years ago. I did have one coil wire replaced under warranty at about 30,000 miles but other than that just new tires and oil changes. It’s an XLT but I did also add the panoramic sunroof m, Protrailer and upgraded to the 7.2 kW generator. At the time out the door price was $66K. I’ve got 47,000 miles and was averaging 22 miles to the gallon no matter how aggressively I drove until I bought a boat last month. When I’m towing the 4000 pound boat/ trailer package I get about 14 miles to the gallon city. I live in Northwest Florida, so I don’t have to go on a highway to get to water. The power, comfort and performance is amazing & the pro trailer package is incredible if you don’t have a lot of trailer experience already and you follow the directions. As a guy who lives in his truck for work, the greatest benefit to the hybrid power is that I can sit in a parking lot for an hour or two a day with the AC blasting in the hot sun, and still keep 22 miles to the gallon because the AC runs off the battery most of the time. The truck idles on and off may be every five minutes for one minute. The internal tracking tells me that one out of every 5 miles is pure electric.

[@battleborn4590]

Historically, I own Toyotas but when the new Tundra premiered, it just didn’t stack up compared to the Powerboost. I decided to buy a 22 PB with the 7.2 kw Pro Power On Board. I have taken several long trips with this truck and it is great. The ride is smooth and comfortable. I haven’t had any issues thus far and the fuel economy is as advertised. I still love Toyotas but I also have no buyers remorse purchasing my F150.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

That was my thought as I was doing this review. This new Tundra has increased complexity compared to the previous generation so i guess time will tell how reliable this twin-turbo hybrid powertrain will be.

[@cwqrpportable]

I agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer. The Ford F150 Powerboost is an all round better hybrid truck than the Tundra, and that's why I now own three of them.......... one our personal truck (Lariat 502A) and two XLT Powerboosts for use in our businesses. The one XLT is used on remote sites and provides power for our equipment used in our mechanical engineering firm and the other XLT is used in the family quarry for basically the same purpose. These two work trucks have been a boon for our business and if they work out we plan at least one more lease of one. My personal Lariat Powerboost is a 2022 and we love it. We use it to tow our RV and since we dry camp a lot (boondock), the ProPowerOnBoard system has been so nice. There have been a couple recalls on the F150s, the last one being the replacement of the wiper motor; we got a loaner truck from the dealer while it was getting an oil change and the wiper motor switched out..... no big deal....... I'll get the two XLTs done when time permits. I don't understand all the fuss with recalls. I've been purchasing and driving new vehicles for 45 years and I can remember a time when I wish a manufacturer would recall for a problem situation. Everybody take a chill pill. Last but not least, the Tundra is an awkward looking truck and I was not impressed with the fit and finish in the couple I've seen at dealerships. Very happy Powerboost customer

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Thanks for your insight as an owner!

[@stephenmcdonnell8145]

I have a 22 XLT PB and I love it. My highway fuel economy is around 10L/100 when cruising at 110km/h. I use the hybrid throttle display when driving in the city. With a light foot I have also seen 10.5L/100 in stop and go traffic. One non-urgent recall was handled by the dealer during regular service - so no impact on me. The ride in this truck is very comfortable; so much so that my wife commented within 30 seconds of her first ride in it how smooth it was. I threw some Nokian winter boots on and she is a beast in ice and snow.

[@keithcrandall1369]

I bet the 2023 Tundra will be pretty reliable now since it is the second year of the all new Tundra. Toyota tends to fix most problems the 1st year rather quickly. The very best time to buy for reliability is the 3rd year and on. Most automakers are like that, but even more so with Toyota….and yes I identify as a Toyota fanboy;)

[@munkydotorg]

Recently purchased a new 2023 F150 Platinum Powerboost. I was back and forth between it and a Hybrid Tundra. As much as I wanted to go with the Tundra (I’ve owned more Toyotas than I’ll admit, including a 2006 Tundra I loved), but honestly the fuel mileage gap and some other capacity gaps got me. I did hedge my bets with more warranty coverage than I would normally do.

Congrats on your new truck!

I’m on my second f-150. I now have a 23 F-150 Platinum High Powerboost and it’s a great ride. I have 12k miles so far and averaging 20.8mpg. The reason I have chosen ford is payload capacity, Air conditioned seats and my f-150 prior was so good to me that I stuck with ford. Maybe I’ll try a tundra next.

[@juggydizzle911]

I own a 2015 king ranch f150 with ecoboost with a little over 100k miles i absolutely love it. We pull our 30' camper around the U.S. with it and it still feels as solid as the day we bought it. Toyota makes a very good vehicle, my parents have a lexus sc 430 and are on their third prius. I have just not been lucky enough to buy a good one yet, spun rod bearing in my 02camry @80k, lost compression in my 05scion xb@106k, and transmission went out on my 06corolla@ 92k. All were purchased new and all maintenance was done regularly. Most miles ive put on any of the vehicles ive ever owned was 410k on my 91 escort gt and i sold that to a kid for $900 and i saw him around town in it for at least 2 more years.

[@todchristensen1454]

I purchased my F-150 Lariat Powerboost in December of 22. I love it! Favorite truck ever hands down! However I don't tow as much as I used to but for what I do tow this truck handles it no problem. Ride is fantastic. Pop a few hundred for the 18 speaker sound system, trust me, worth every penney. MPG is roughly 22.5 (higher most of the time) and since you are running the cheapest gas versus diesel and that stupid diesel adative its very efficient for a truck.

Tundra is a tank and will last forever. Ford F150 is luxury, options, and complexity thus issues. As a veteran I always pick the tank.

That's my thought process too but I can't help it wonder if the increased complexity of this new powertrain is as bulletproof as the old N/A V8. This new tundra has a twin-turbocharged hybrid V6 just like the Ford. So that's why I want to know from current owners if they've had any major issues with this new engine or if it's been smooth sailing.

Seriously considering a Toyota Tundra after HORRIBLE customer service from Ford and the local dealer in Greer SC. They have had my 2022 Ford F150 Platinum there several times (total more than a month ) and everytime they touch it, I end up getting it back with more problems requiring another visit with check engine light on, Fuel gauge that only registers 7/8 after a fill up. (this happened after the last visit they replaced the fuel pump and R&R the tank for defective fuel pump) On board power not available after they did an update for flickering light recall. They don't provide loaners and a rental truck costs $95 of which Ford only pays $60. Tons of Recalls, HASSLE trying to schedule service for wiper motor recall, they can't even promise they will have the part when you bring your truck in with an appointment. REALLY?? FORD SUCKS!. I have a 2024 on order since 11/2/2023 and Ford apparently isn't releasing them even though it has been produced for "Quality" issues. I would expect better after paying $70,000 for a Ford truck!

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Even if its a gasoline-only version, fuel economy is going to take a bit of a hit in colder temperatures. But with the battery pack being placed inside the cab, it means less chance of it getting damaged if it was on the outside. Toyota also offers a 10 year / 240,000 km warranty on the battery.

[@mikeatkinson6237]

Great information thank you

[@larryflowers7367]

If toyota had a na v8 still I would be sold , im terrified of the twin turbos

[@MGReviewsBlog]

I don't blame you. As I said in the video, this new TTV6 Hybrid powertrain that Toyota added to the Tundra adds complication. It is impressive though when it's working properly, but it seems that there's some manufacturing problems of this engine that is causing a recall at the moment.

[@doucetrr2007]

Which will be better in ten years? Toyota certainly has a better reputation..

[@MGReviewsBlog]

That's true but with the increased complexity of the turbocharging & hybrid, it's not as simple as the old N/A V8. Hopefully more current Tundra owners can provide us feedback on their ownership experience so far.

[@ranger1752]

Not as of now. For the first time in many years, Tundra didn't make recommended by consumer reports back to back years. This is not the toyota of my day!

[@AndyTN64]

Those days are over at least for 2023 Tundra.

[@mannysalamanca24]

True but that goes both ways but at least Toyota has the customer service reputation and reliability reputation to go with it

I have a 2021 Ford F-150 Limited and about 25k miles on it and I tow a 27 foot airstream regularly and have had no issues…..

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Thanks for your insight!

[@mdipilato2]

Wow what a difference in style and beauty! That F-150's body, interior, and components outweighs the Tundra by far I believe. You can tell when he drives them both. He just looks more comfortable driving the F-150

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Yes, I did find the F150 a bit more comfortable than the Tundra.

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

Toyota Tundra ❤️ Ford F 150

I have a 2023 Tundra I have had a Ford and GMC trucks Tundra by far is a better truck in my opinion Both Ford and GMC both had transmission problems before I hit 100,000 miles. I have 20,000 on the Tundra so far so we will see...

[@doucetrr2007]

Yup.

:( everything is so much more expensive over the last couple of years

[@johnminichielli8957]

The Ramcharger is gping to make dinosaurs out of these trucks. Just a word of advice, you gain a much larger audience if you quote fuel milage in both KPL and MPG.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

The conversions are literally on the screen!!

[@jerryavlon4780]

Was the ford a lariat?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Yes, it was the Lariat tirm

[@atomikvision3095]

Look at the difference in the led headlights flickering and not flickering

[@MGReviewsBlog]

That's the camera shutter causing that effect. My bad. It's hard to tell if the lights are flickering or not on the little lcd screen on the camera so I didn't adjust the shutter speed accordingly.

[@mattmarcoux2530]

The Ford is the better performer as far as specs. The 20k difference though… and the Toyota reliability would make me pause on the need for meeting the specs.

[@Suuperflie]

So, you said the Ford was cheaper, yet you were talking about lower trim levels you didn't drive in this video and you said nothing of Toyota's lower trim levels. Am I missing something here? This looks like a completely biased. In fact the Toyota Limited like in this video starts $6k cheaper than the Lariat in this video. So where do you get that the Ford is cheaper?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

First off, I can't pick & choose trim levels and options. I get what I get from the manufacturer's press fleets. Second, I'm comparing hybrid to hybrid powertrains. If you want to go down to the least expensive models, then the Ford would still be cheaper. Third, I'm looking at the hybrid powertrain prices (which is what I'm comparing in this video) and the F-150 is still less expensive to start with. So what numbers are you looking at?

[@mannysalamanca24]

Toyota is king!!!! Reliability reputation at its finest. Both are twin turbo v6s but only only one company will take care of you in the long run.

[@21bruce]

I’m not going to do metric conversions while I’m driving along and listening to your video. do us a favor and include English conversions in your script

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Why are you driving while watching/listening to my video!?!? The conversions are on the screen and I live in Canada, we use the metric system like the vast majority of the world.

[@kubeanie18]

f150 is king for a reason simple. toyota still trying to keep up

[@turdferguson2839]

Toyota might be king of cheap, midsized cars but Ford is king of trucks.

[@davidglover3380]

My motor blew last night at 33k miles on it If that tells you anything

[@lancelemay6971]

On a Tundra or a Ford?

[@davidglover3380]

2023 Tundra

[@rowdytitan]

Ford is superior in nearly every metric. The tundra interior feels cramped and the seats are nowhere near as comfortable as the F150.

[@wowmawc]

Just passed by a brand new ford truck that stalled lmao.

[@georgetolea2639]

[@MGReviewsBlog]

What a Ford thing to do...

[@blandis93312]

Quit apologizing, it’s a sign of weakness!

[@juviadament12]

The ford f-150 step tailgate is a poor design. My old man just bought a brand new F150 Lariat. We stopped by the ford dealer to grab his aftermarket wheels and tires from his trade in. After I loaded the wheels and tires up I went to jump off tailgate and turned my shoes to jump to the side. My shoe tread caught the plastic cap on top of the tailgate step in the middle of the tailgate, that was sticking up a quarter inch and snapped every clip in the tailgate. The ford mechanic laughed and said this happens all the time. Then jokingly told my dad he should have stuck with his 3.0L duramax because fords don’t make a good product anymore hahaha

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Yea, I'm not a fan of Ford's tailgate step. GM's tailgate step is a sturdier design and a bit more versatile. Just got to remember to remove the tow hitch when lowering the step...

[@Bronco2Cj]

@@MGReviewsBlog are we pretty much screwed or could we see truck prices as well as interest rates drop?

[@MGReviewsBlog]

@Bronco2Cj if I could tell the future, I'd be rich by now haha. From what I'm hearing others say, interest rates should drop a bit later this year but not as they were before covid. It'll probably take another year or two until we get to that point provided there are no other major incidents happening in the world.

[@alicepooper8562]

Likely story

[@contractorvegas5384]

Toyota missed on towing hooks, but those ugggggggggggly side mirrors on the Ford makes me want to look away

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Huh, I didn't notice the lack of front tow hooks. I just had a look at the TRD Pro that I reviewed before this video and that one doesn't have them either. As for the Ford, those are just tow mirrors. Optional extras.

[@alicepooper8562]

watched a vid on these 2 drag racing and the powerboost gaps the tundra by 5 car lengths which is pretty hilarious

[@vernonhenderson8666]

Toyota trucks are American trucks they’re built here

[@mohammedqahtanie8781]

Ford always number one and the beast

[@Buchman45]

All true except for one thing. My Ford F150 king wrench power boost is incredibly unreliable. In the last 2 1/2 years they’ve had to take one back and give me a new one and then twice I’ve been stranded, and the last time it took them a month yes, one month to repair the vehicle. Do not get the Ford hybrid.if you want a non-hybrid that Ford truck is awesome. If you want a long lasting vehicle get a Toyota.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

I can imagine how frustrating that can be. What went wrong with them?

[@Buchman45]

I waited for this truck for three years and was so excited to get one in 2021. The first 15 days after I had it it freaked out on the highway and I was lucky to make it back to the dealership. At one point with the vehicle on the throttle did not work. It was scary. Then one time after I got my new one after three months, I was at the car wash Pulled into vacuum out my truck after the car wash and it would not start. The car was on like all the electricity worked, but it would not start. Then the Ford dealership sent a tow truck but they couldn’t get it on the tow truck because the driver didn’t know how to disengage the vehicle because you can’t put it out of park That took 10 days to fix a new module. Then a year later I was on a work trip thankfully only 120 miles away and the same thing happened where I came out after lunch and the vehicle would not start. This time they had to replace the entire hybrid battery, hybrid motor modules And it took a little over a month. I pleaded with Ford but to no avail. Almost $80,000 with 150,000 mile warranty and 70,000 miles 2 1/2 years old and I’m driving a vehicle that I have no trust in to make it home. It’s a shame because when it works I love it.

[@keep1treal61]

When it comes to trucks Toyotas isn’t it. Ford rules that’s why it sells the most plenty more options and heavy duty’s . Euros just can’t make trucks

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Toyota is Japanese...... Actually the Tundra is built in Texas. But yes, I know what you mean. There are more options for configuration with the American brands.

[@doylerhill]

That’s abysmal mileage on the F150. My 2018 2.7 will get within a mph or two of that. Don’t care about torque, blah blah blah. When will makers get serious about a mid to full size that gets good mileage?

[@Youtubeuser1aa]

Most full size truck owners don’t care much about getting hood mpg

[@IIIBETEPIII]

Now let’s talk reliability. I have a 2021 f150 Lariat3.5, and my opinion about ford, you can buy one only with zero options, totally ZERO! 2WD, naturally aspirated, nothing digital etc… and then you will have just a little more problems and issues than fully loaded Toyota (yes, still more). I have already about 10 recalls, and 5 problems except the recalls, I did 2 recalls and gave up, can’t waste my time and money (losing work days) visiting ford dealership every other day. My 2006 Ridgeline with 460,000km has WAY less problems.

[@ltyr-mr2if]

Ford make lousy vehicles. So many recalls, and reliability is so poor. They make their vehicles appeal on the sales lot and test drive, then fall apart after a short time. Ford from my experience is terrible.

[@MGReviewsBlog]

Knowing the long term quality of Toyota… I just won’t go anywhere else. I think you buy what you are comfortable with as everyone has their own criteria and reasons. Get the one you feel good about and then go enjoy it. I would never talk anyone out of their choice.
