Hybrid pickup trucks are on the rise as consumers realize that they offer the same power and functionality as standard pickup trucks, but with more efficiency. If you love the 2022 Ford F-150 but also want a hybrid pickup truck, you do have options. There’s one way to get a Ford F-150 hybrid pickup, and that’s by choosing the PowerBoost. Here’s what that means and how to do it.

The 2022 Ford F-150 PowerBoost is a hybrid pickup truck

The 2022 Ford F-150 PowerBoost is a hybrid pickup truck, a successor to the 2021 PowerBoost, which was the first hybrid engine pickup truck. This has a 3.5-liter V6 PowerBoost engine. It makes 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. Gear Patrol says that this is the most powerful non-Raptor engine that Ford makes for the F-150.

Of course, it’s also the most efficient. Being a hybrid engine, the 4×4 F-150 gets 24 mpg. Gear Patrol says it “found it so seamless in everyday driving that it should be any F-150 buyer’s preferred option.” The F-150 is already the most popular pickup truck in the country, and the ability to turn it into a hybrid truck will certainly make it even more popular, and probably among a wider group of people.

How do you get a hybrid F-150?

To get a hybrid 2022 Ford F-150, you have to opt for the PowerBoost package on the Lariat trim level or above. These include the King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. The hybrid engine will cost you an extra $3,000, and it’s well worth it.

The 2022 Ford Lariat price starts at $47,640. That’s considerably higher than the starting cost of the 2022 Ford F-150, which is just $29,990. It comes with a 2.7-liter V6 that makes 325 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque.

What else comes in the Lariat package?

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lariat also has LED lights, chrome bumpers, and a grille with chrome and black accents.
