Is the 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum PowerBoost the BEST hybrid truck to BUY?

FIRST DRIVE: The F-150 is getting BIG updates including BLUE CRUISE from Ford for 2024. This truck competes directly with the Chevrolet Silverado, Nissan Titan, Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra. On the outside of this Platinum you will be greeted by 22in wheels, a new grill and front fascia. On the inside you will be welcomed by an upgraded leather interior, standard 12in infotainment screen and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 paired to an electric motor and mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Ford F-150 Platinum PowerBoost the BEST hybrid truck to BUY?

I SWEAR, IF RAITI SOLD HOMES, I'D BUY ONE FROM HIM! First, I'd have to see a video tour of the homes, because he's hilarious, entertaining and definitely passionate. He had me at Twinkies 4 years ago and then the hilarious bit of measuring the size of...the fish, and playing with yourself, I mean, it's genius impromptu and absolutely genuine! LOL!! Another awesome review Raiti!

You are just an American and you love le-cheap American humor. I would not buy anything after I hear he loves junk processed cancer foods.

Hybrid pickup truck is way better than all electric truck for people that have range anxiety.

[@travisleitzel1523]

Right. We should be focusing on hybrid technology right now, not all electric

[@pfwww12]

During the Pandemic I seen a guy at the gas station with one of these. I was amazed at a Hybrid F-150

[@vinaashak]

I just picked up a 24 King Ranch a couple weeks ago. Absolutely love it! I think it’s a better value than the platinum as well I got every feature of this platinum for thousands less. And love the brown interior!

[@RaitisRides]

Congrats man! That is so great to hear!

[@00_UU]

Did you take out a 12-year mortgage for it? Or do you own a business and write it off?

[@sabrinaa4872]

Thinking of doing the same

[@benjaminbrown7127]

Stop hating

[@Throw_Down]

I don't often think much about trucks, which is why I like that you cover them! I was really surprised by the 0-60 time. Much quicker than I expected.

[@mattabell3657]

I ordered a 2024 F150 platinum power boost for my wife 2 days ago after watching reviews. Thanks for the great info! Gonna miss my Rivian but this should be a pretty good replacement.

[@1drummer172]

The very best implementation of hybrid technology in a truck and possibly any other vehicle!

[@RaitisRides]

I think you are spot on the money!

[@davidp2888]

When I visualize what a truck should be, this is it. They should have included a bed liner for the price though.

[@dansievers5915]

Great review again Joe. I also have to say, Lori, the way you running the camera, so smooth no shaking. You guys are a great team.

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

I think the changes and the Blue Cruise are a nice addition for 2024. I just still like the taillights, and I'm gonna zonk the fact that I took them till MY 2024 to give us a HUD in their trucks. I like the aluminum finish, but I would go for hopefully a trim available with a blackout appearance package would be sweet.

[@RaitisRides]

Very well said Chris!

[@mcmuskie2563]

I just ordered. all black 4 weeks ago. 2-3 months wait still

[@henryostman1199]

Blue cruise is not an addition for ‘24 - it’s been available and standard on the limited since ‘21 when this version of the f150 was introduced

[@mdipilato2]

I love my 21' F150 Lariat Powerboost 502A package, but this re-fresh is friggin' sweet!

A great truck, I love it! Especially the wheel rim and door panel design ❤ By the way what a treat having your new published video in my evening time, one of your Asia viewer here 🙋 Thanks Joe-san 🙏

[@RaitisRides]

That is so wonderful my friend! Thank you for your wonderful support!

[@Vian_Cheung]

@RaitisRides Happy to be part of your channel family Joe, Lori, Steven ❤

[@JogBird]

the platinum lettering on the hood is tacky... like its trying too hard to tell the world that you spent $100k on a truck

[@302Mustang13]

I don't care for it but tacky it is not.

[@RaitisRides]

I guess some people like to flaunt it.

[@arizonacolour8793]

​@@RaitisRidesnot a flaunt at all. It's just part of the badging just like an STX, XTR, Lariat.... Just happens to be on the hood

[@charlesrestivo870]

Not tacky very cool !!! Emblems are a cool thing

[@Harold.Richard]

Easy to remove with your wife’s hair dryer.

[@suzanneflowers2230]

After all the tech emphasis, this may be a dumb question, but why didn't Ford install a bedliner to protect this truck? It's beautiful. And I love the wheels.

[@RaitisRides]

I was wondering the same thing! Kind of weird on an $85k truck

[@briangbga2619]

I went out and got the Line X aftermarket spray-in bedliner in my Platinum. Great product for less than what Ford charges you for the factory version.

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

The regular ecoburst has better MPG and range on the highway. The fuel tank is 6 extra gallons so if you spend most of the time on the highway and don't need the pro onboard power then it doesn't make sense to get the powerboost. Especially when you factor in that the insurance is more expensive. I got a quote for the 3.5, the 5.0 and the 3.5 powerboost and it was by far the most expensive around $170 more per year.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for that great input!

[@abrahamnutrition]

This is seriously a beautiful truck! I am digging these hybrid vehicles!

[@johnkoko]

I feel like the Platinum is the only trim that the Ford got right on this redesign. Personally I don't care for the Platinum on the hood, but this truck is sharp.

[@ManikandanNadar]

Lovely and the king of all the trucks. Love watching and hearing your reviews about the cars and diverse types of twinkies 😃 Miss Steven in this video..

[@Danny95773]

Am almost done paying off my 2019 ford 150 limited am looking forward in buying another one, or I’ll probably consider getting the big brother the 450 limited instead I’ve love ford there’s trucks are mean for luxury and style but mostly they built tough .

[@carlwashburn1745]

Great video! Horsepower is 430 not 530 right…

[@LawrenceTreuer]

torque is 530

[@michaelle6610]

I have the 2023 F150 Lariat Powerboost, it has 430 HP and 570 lb ft of torque. I think the 2024 Platinum Powerboost also has the same HP and torque.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

As a GMC Sierra Z71 owner I think that GM needs to be afraid of this truck, absolutely gorgeous truck that is loaded with tech and a hybrid to boot with 24mpgs and 700mile range is crazy good on a full sized pickup! I posted recently about a Ford pickup that looked Plain Jane but this pickup in very nice inside and outside and the bed set up is top notch, some might say $85k is expensive but I think if this was a GM product it would be around $95-100k .

[@00_UU]

Did you test drive both new ones back to back? GMC Sierra drives like a luxury car, Ford F-150 drives like an appliance. Huge difference when you actually drive them.

[@nekton.avenger]

Been waiting for you to do this review. You must be slacking! Thanks for this, your comments are very helpful in considering other options.

[@wwz1011]

I think the Lariat is the sweet spot in Ford's product line. I just got a 2024 Lariat Power Boost, with 7.2 K pro power on board, mobile office, tow/haul, FX4. Much cheaper than the Platinum, better payload, yet plenty nice enough for most of us.

[@rickjames6867]

Very nice interior. Good tailgate design. Snappy wheel package. Looks like a super comfy rig. Another solid unit from Ford.

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Super stunning exterior color along with two tone leather interior specific to the platinum trim with badging on the center console which tells the number they made these luxury pickup trucks just like the limited models

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right about that!

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Yes of course Joe & I definitely buy this truck.

[@RaitisRides]

That is so fantastic! You have great taste

[@LeBarfGoylesRottingFishFace]

Exactly what I want. A truck with a camera directed at me reading and filming my retinas. Call me old school, but this is getting a little close to 1984. With the Biden kill switch. 15 minute. Geo fencing. I'm staying away from new vehicles.

[@gusshackleford8370]

Just imaging having warrants and your car takes you jail! Ill buy a 75 tbird before any of this new crap

[@Philsy]

Disappointed they did away with the "Limited" trim level, also the front camera washer, the rear tailgate applique, the lighted step plates and the multi colored ambient lighting (at a quick glance). Although, I would still rather this than the GMC Denali Ultimate I purchased last year..

[@dymonddave4376]

I have been waiting on one ordered since December 2023, with the new tailgate, here we are almost in to August 2024 and still waiting.

[@davealmer3803]

Coyote V8 is the only way to go. 85K no wonder the makers sales are slowing.

[@twisskevin4853]

You can't get the 5.0 in the platinum. For 24 model year.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

It is a nice truck with many useful features. Just for fun, while having the measurements contest on the tailgate, you can play "Whip It" by Devo. 🙂

[@twisskevin4853]

Unfortunately for 24 model year you can not get the 5.0 in the platinum or King ranch. Highest level you can get the 5.0 is the lariat. Because those are my thoughts as well get the 5.0 Platinum then put a supercharger on it that was my intention unfortunately cannot do that for the 24 model year.

I actually like the Plat 702 blacked out grille better. And no appliqué? That sucks cause that tailgate looks like any other model

[@twisskevin4853]

Just a friendly FYI I can't believe you did not know this😮 anyway I do enjoy your videos but you cannot get the 5.0 motor in the platinum or King ranch model. You can with the lariat. I wanted a platinum model in the 5.0 so I can put the supercharger on it. The only model I can do that with now the highest level is the lariat. 2023 and older you can get the 5.0 on any model.

[@user-nx1ef9ib5f]

That’s a Platinum Plus. Why can’t these reviewers get it straight. The regular Platinum doesn’t have that interior combination, wheel set or grill. Also, it only comes in a power boost. The platinum you can get without a power boost.

[@jacobcouch9886]

I really love the F-150 lightning, but with how fast EVs are evolving, and I think GEN 2 is supposed to be out in 2028 last I heard this is probably the truck I’ll be going with next year. Plus I’m one of those people in Texas where that pro power onboard really comes in handy.

[@RaitisRides]

You bring up excellent points

hmmm, those look like the same wheels from the Tahoe and Suburban. So is the Platinum the top trim or the Limited? The aluminum is a nice touch instead of chrome. The tailgate is bland. Should have the platinum badge in aluminum to give it some pop. No bedliner, no thank you. No dual exhaust is a zonk.

[@mexikanox1118]

I was told the platinum and king ranch won’t have the 5.0 i tried too build one and it won’t let me add it

I love the truck but there are two things they took away, why would they take away the big tailgate appliqué that says Platinum!? You already have the word on the hood. And why on earth doesn’t this truck have the max recline, multi-contour seats!? For the price it’s a true tragedy they don’t have the seats on the top trim.

Less speakers on the b@o, less led lighting all around, no more rear tailgate plaque. Fords been on a mission to cut quality and got yet raise prices.
