You should adjust the mpg down to an 87 octane mpg equivalent from a cost perspective. Fuel cost is more important than range as it relates to mpg.

[@rdsii64]

I get what you are saying but if you can afford an $80K truck, you can afford 91 octane.

[@hughhemington9559]

@@rdsii64 I agree, but it would be interesting to see what impact 87 has though.

I agree. That's why diesels in America are unpopular since they just expensive to run.

For an Ecoboost the difference between 87 and 93 octane is 3% MPG, so it will get 23.2 MPG on 87 octane vs 24.0 MPG on the 93.

Thank you for the review. I have a 2017 Platinum that is my everyday truck. It is loaded with nearly every feature and my fave is the adaptive cruise and auto park. I can also say that the 10 speed makes a huge difference from the earlier 6 speed (had a 2015). I get the platinum as it usually has a greater payload capacity than the Limited. The trucks only require regular gas on the octane. I am soon up for a new model and I am looking at getting the hybrid. The electric is intriguing; however, it was already concluded that a 300 mile range towing a 7000# camper lowers 60% of the range- 140 miles. That is too cumbersome a charge cycle for travel camping.

[@DeltaEcho303]

RON is the European fuel rating system. 90 in RON equals 86.5 U.S. Octane.

[@SuperMrgentleman]

Right, but still he puts in high octane fuel as that isn't what the car is designed to run on optimally. It can certainly compensate but high octane fuel generally delivers lower mpg because of reduced energy per gallon and certainly will with something designed for 87. It's a waste of money and also will give inaccurate range in this test

[@jrdecker5526]

I don't know if there are hills on you loop but my experience on constant speed travel with a 2021 Powerboost f-150 is while watching the powerflow graphic on the screen, The Hybrid is active and helping the combustion engine up the hill and getting regen on the way down. The boost gauge remains at or near zero. Give it try.

Thanks for the review. Did you compare your MPG to the trip computer MPG? I’m curious if they are the same.

put the same drive train into a station wagon and you would get better mileage as it is most likely lower with better aero. For that matter station wagons are now called SUVs which do the same function.

90 RON fuel (European measurement) is comparable to 87 R/M rating we see in the States. Using premium might have skewed your results, but probably not. Had you been testing power output it probably would have made a difference; such as acceleration runs, towing, situations were you'd use a lot of boost.

[@moulin6]

How many miles can you run on Eletric/ battery alone, keeping the slowest necessarily speed, and what is the speed in which the truck switch from electric to gas ( on even flat road)?? Thanks

[@Wildtrax39565]

In the 3rd quarter of 2021, there will be a $600 update to the software that will allow hands free driving on over 100,000 miles of roads on the US. The truck currently see’s the speed limit signs and on intelligent cruise control, will speed up and slow down accordingly. It does not see school zones well as the signs are not your typical white on black. The lane centering feature on the limited will drive itself. We just took a trip to Atlanta and back and it performed flawless. But it gets issued if you do not use a lot of driver input. It constantly tells you to keep hands on the wheel even though the truck is doing perfectly fine. This is an amazing truck. I absolutely love it. My mileage on our 1200 mile trip was just under 20 @ 75-78 miles and hour with only 34 miles of electric driving. It cannot see stop signs or red lights and if you do not input a steering function, it will come to a stop. We tried it. Lol. And, this dang truck will fly! 0-60 under 6 seconds. Insurance is cheaper on the 2021 Limited than it was on my 2018 King Ranch. And ladies, you can plug up your 1500 watt hair dryer into the dash 110 volt plug, and get your hair did going to the track! I love my Limited Powerboost!

I used to own a ‘03 Silverado with a Texas Speed 370, Precision 7675, TH400 putting down 700whp on 15lbs. I loved that truck. I also build a 240sx LS1/T56 hatch drift car back in 2012. I love LS engines and I wouldn’t hesitate to drop one in another project build. However, now that I’m older and need something different. I have a 2015 Ram Rebel currently and I’ve had too many issues with it and the payload is trash. My buddies 2.7 Ecoboost has been going strong with zero issues since he’s bought it 60k miles ago. My buddies 3.5 eco boost runs 12s with just a tune! He also hasn’t had any issues and he’s at 25k miles(not that much). Every manufacturer has lemons, even Toyota but from my experience the chevys fall apart so much more quickly than any other truck out there. My sister in law just traded her 5.3 Yukon in because of lifter failure! The dealership told her she needed an entire engine.

@@gummoonamerica Technically gas pumps all have the same technology that makes them stop. Different pump at same station shouldn't make a difference. The pump shuts off fuel once fuel comes to a high enough point that the air gap inside the fuel nozzle is gone, that triggers the pump to shut off. So fuel level would be at same point to trigger the auto shut off in the pump. The most important thing is to put the pump inside the tank in the exact same fashion each time. All the way inserted or 3/4 inserted whatever it is must be consistent as that will dictate how high the fuel level in the fuel tank neck will be.

[@TheDealHunter]

RON (Research Octane Number) is a worldwide standard for octane. 91+ RON converts to regular gasoline in the US, so you could saved the money and just put regular into the truck. I have a question about the cruise/Copilot 360. How long can you leave your hands off of the wheel before the cruise disengages? Some people on Tesla's wedge a water bottle in the steering wheel to simulate torque on the steering wheel so that don't have to keep "touching" the wheel.

[@dlg5485]

Personally, I don't think these high end trucks make much sense, unless you just have to have every single bell and whistle available. The 3.5 XLT or Lariat with the top option package is the way I'd go for $25k to $30k less. That configuration gives you many of the luxury features (B&O stereo, etc) without wasting a ton of money on high end materials, which just aren't important to me. Plus the 3.5 gets 23 MPG on the highway, almost matching the hybrid. Obviously, to each their own, but I could never justify spending $80k for a truck that I was actually going to use as a truck.

For the average person they don’t make sense. For the average laborer, it’s plain stupidity that’d lead one to buy and destroy one of these trucks. For a white collar family man, those that travel for work, well to do project managers, or the wealthy they make perfect sense. Also let me say, the secondary market for trucks is insane. When it comes to the high end trim levels, it’s even worse. No car is an investment, but if you are gonna buy one out of need or desire, it’s not a bad choice.

When I turn my truck in 12 mths; will consider this F150 Powerboost Hybrid since it can run my A/C in the Travel Trailer while boondocking and we need that here in Florida. I don't find a Hybrid to be no different than my Truck on the HWY where the hybrid is a champ, City Driving.

[@commanderroddi7742]

when this hybrid engine came on, I went to a Ford dealer (because I needed a new vehicle for work for hauling boxes and occasionaly towing a trailer with a couple of pallets). For what this engine cost, I ended up leasing a XLT crew with the 2.7L engine instead. GREAT fuel economy, quick engine! Good paylload, and since I wasn't towing anywhere over 4500lbs, (most towing was less than 3000lbs), the 2.7l Ecoboost was the perfect engine. I eventually did get a hybrid car (a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4.x Plug in hybrid). I know Kyle didn't like hwo that drive, and the F-150 did drive better on highway, has so much more space, and youcan take 5 person (even 6 on models with the front bench) comfortably!, where for long trips, you can't really put only 4 on a Jeep. I would have gotten Bronco, but I'd still be waiting for one of those, so the Jeep did the job, though space is cramped, and when I put a trailer with a total load of 3000 lbs (including trailer) I"m somewhat pushing its limit, but that is fine for me, I dont' need 10K towing. Love the F-150, miss beign able to go with 5 people on road trips, Miss the Co Pilot 360 I had as well, adn while jeep coudl have been fitted with adaptive cruise control, I the car I found on a dealership didn't have it, and I didn't think I needed it. I ened up getting a minivan for longer trips, which is inconvenient to need to cars, but I'll take the jeep if I'm goign with myself, or maybe a couple of people (took it to Alaska earlier this year after watchign Kyle's videos. Wow. Wrote a lot! F-150 is good truck though! that woud probably have been a better road tripper to Alaska with a roof top tent as I did. I would go for the XLT myself, save some bucks and add some stuff like the leather seats, the 3.5 Powerboost, and that would be cheaper than the Limited, myself, think you an spec an XLT very well for as much as a limited would cost, and then That'd let me get Powerboost.

Since you use in U.S. the average octane between motor and engineering computational methods, you may probably take the average MPG between the dash board and the fuel pump also.

Our Hybrid SUV will go down the freeway at 70mph in electric mode given the 6-speed we have. If the 10-speed isn't able to do the same, it must be due to a lot more displacement given the aerodynamics.

Have you checked under the truck for rust because that has been a big problem for the truck

[@realMysta]

Like the features a ton but dont like the interior presentation if that makes sense, may just be the color though

[@Just_Chuck_It]

My 2012 Ford FX4 5.0L V8 Supercrew, consistently gets 22mpg. So yeah.............. I was hoping for more like 30mpg out of this. My wife has a 2021 Honda CRV hybrid and she is currently getting 40mpg as per Honda's. These hybrids (especially the trucks) have a long way to go in the fuel efficiency realm. I do like the F150 hybrid's 120v plug in's and tailgate power hub. Very cool for many many many reasons. Like for example, when your out glamping, rather than needing to have a dedicated generator for your RV trailer, you could just hook your RV directly into the bed if the F150.

[@jaysson1151]

Nothing personal, you’re like the 5th person I’ve responded to with the same ignorant complaint. Hybrids do NOT excel on the highway. They excel in city driving. I guarantee your 5.0 will not even get close to 24 mpg in the city which is what the Powerboost gets easily. Also gotta realize there is still a 400 hp gasoline engine pushing a 3 ton brick!

[@Xyler94]

Some guy during the Texas outages in February managed to power his home off the F-150's generator, and I think it was said he used 1/4 tank of gas for 3 days worth of powering his house.

[@martinroncetti4134]

@@jaysson1151 Not sure if "ignorant" is the correct word here. I do though see your point wrt city driving. My last truck was a (full-size: 8' box Supercrew with tow package) 2010 F150 XL with the 5.4L 3V; on the highway, I was getting around the 21-23mpg range.

@@jaysson1151 No, those numbers are strictly the highway driving; in the city on the other hand, "Big Red" love to drink gas! I spent the money on good highway tires, a Leer cap and driving around the 105-110kph (62-65mph)

[@JM-oq7iu]

Have you tested how far it goes on hybrid only? Just curious how far the battery got you.

[@Johnny-vu7db]

I'm not a Ford fan, but, looks like this will be my next truck. Nobody else makes a hybrid or full electric with a proper 6ft bed, except Ford.

[@danielt.3152]

One time in North Dakota driving into a 60+mph head wind my mpg went from ~21mpg down to about ~9mpg and the engine hood was shaking so bad I was afraid the hood latch was going to come loose there was tons of air lifting upwards and I could barely hold 65mph. I hated the experience

[@fanningtheflames3403]

I own a 2022 f150 powerboost and I am not getting anywhere 18mpg on 87octane, let alone 23+mpg...not even in the city where according to the trip computer approximately 20% of my miles come from electric? Does gear ratio play a part?

[@williamumbach592]

Thanks for using the GPS. True data yields true results

[@rareroots]

Engine is tuned for 87 octane

[@Teddyatlastwobrsincells]

The truck can tell octane by knock sensors, so can pull or add timing as needed. For best power and efficiency 93 is best

[@nuwannilanka]

Is premium fuel required for this truck? Truck manual recommends 87 and above.

[@RVTRAILER]

I agree, I have a 2022 F150 Lariat Powerboost full hybrid, has Pro-Power 7.2Kw on it so bit heavier, picked in November 2022 so still breaking-in, currently under 1500 miles, and it gives me 21-22 mpg in the City driving on 87 octanes regular gas, and shows about 20%-25% on the electric driving mode. I've tri-fold tonneau cover so don't know if it helps. Awesome performance and efficiency partnered together and Ford has done it right.

What was the gear ratio in that truck and what did the fuel meter in the truck say in comparison. Great content

[@johngilbert5776]

All powerboost trucks get 3.73:1 gearing and a 30 gallon gas tank.

[@UberLyftNick]

I get that in my 2021 Ram 1500 Hemi. Get closer to 25mpg in Arizona at 70mph.

Why do most truck reviews consist of the most decked out cars / trucks ? where are the average reviews , Thank you

there are some this truck comes with column shift in the xlt no need for these high end crap and besides would never buy drive any care with the dumbass panoramic roof the xlt can be bought with out it

Curious how accurate was the onboard computer calculation...great review btw

[@richardnavratil9661]

Yes I feel like they should've shown the dash or at least throw up comparison numbers. Generally I think the on-board are a tad more optimistic, but would love to see a direct comparison

[@Billy_Silva]

I was expecting him to show that.

[@brianclark3109]

My 2015 is usually off by two MPGs. Says I got 20 when only actually got 18. Not very accurate.

I get 17 mpg in my 4.6 V8 2009 F150. In Canada it is $250 to fill up.

Did Ford just stealthily release the first mass produced Hybrid Twin Turbo?

I see that you used premium fuel, is that what ford recommends?

Do these come in 6.5 bed?

NO TOW HOOKS on 2023? I ordered last week. The 2023 Build page is now up. I see that the 2023 F150 XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum does NOT come with tow hooks. You have to buy a $4380 package to get the tow hooks on the Platinum. WTF. Does anyone know if I'll be able to add aftermarket front tow hooks ?

[@viasevenvai]

You used pump 13 outbound then pump 5 inbound. Pump 5 is notorious for a weak cutoff. With error correction that F150 got 60mpg.

[@scottcoleman7304]

Why 91 octane? Is premium recommended in the eco boost?

[@robertopics]

Turbo charged engines send direct injected engines benefit from the higher octane number. It's not like this is a work truck nor in price nor in functionality.

How much is the battery that will need to be replaced in 4 yrs.

Do I have to use premium or can this truck run on regular gas?

regular

Silverado 1500 3L Duramax diesel can easily achieve 33-34 mpg on a highway and it costs way less.

[@bradsmith1177]

Fuel price covers the difference in economy. Plus it's not rated to pull my 10,000 lb trailer.

[@02hreblue30]

yah NO. About 27 at highway speeds empty. Diesels have high maintenance costs and fuel is more. Nice truck though

[@dennisbainbridge6742]

I've had my 2021F-150 Hybrid King Ranch for about 4 months and I'm somewhat disappointed with it. The jerky transmission is seldom mentioned. This is very noticeable accelerating from a dead stop or when slowing down before making a turn. A KZbin video I saw suggested driving in the "Eco" mode which, for some reason, made the truck shift a little smoother. I had a 2016 F-150 Ecoboost prior to this one and it usually exceeded the EPA ratings. So far, this truck has not come close! I've read where the electric motor is mainly used during "in town" driving versus "highway". This is where probably 90% of my driving takes place. Would I buy the truck again? I don't think so, especially for what it cost! If my dealer asked me if he could buy it back for what I paid for it, I'd very likely jump at the opportunity despite buying it for $500 under MSRP.

[@02hreblue30]

everyone and their brother knows the fact that hybrids excel with mainly in town driving under full or partial electric. All the 10 speeds are jerky compared to previous 6 speed but much better mpg. Sounds likely you didn't do your research

[@jeremymartinez6793]

Great write up, I’m really considering ordering one but I’m very concerned ford is smudging those mpgs.
