# 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid Hits 25 MPG Combined, Beating All Non-Diesel Full-Size Trucks

*​*In the all-new 2021 Ford F-150's first week available at dealerships, the ever-popular pickup is [flying off the proverbial shelves](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/38047/2021-ford-f-150-is-now-on-dealer-lots-and-production-cant-keep-up-with-demand>). Along with announcing the off-road-ready [Tremor model](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/38011/2021-ford-f-150-tremor-off-road-suspension-locking-differentials-and-towing-up-to-10900-pounds>), Ford Motor Company is also taking this week to reveal official, detailed, Environmental Protection Agency-rated fuel economy figures for its hot-selling truck. And, not surprisingly at all, the hybrid F-150 PowerBoost (the only full hybrid pickup available today, don't you know) just so happens to be the most fuel efficient gas-powered, light-duty, full-size pickup on the market.

Granted, [we already knew](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/37585/2021-ford-f-150-epa-mileage-is-out-and-it-hasnt-changed-much-yet>) the 4x4 hybrid F-150 is rated at 24 mpg city/24 highway/24 combined. But we now know that the slightly more economical 4x2 version will achieve 25 mpg city/26 highway/25 combined. The EPA has also estimated that the 4x4 F-150 PowerBoost will be able to travel 700 miles between full-ups.

In case you haven't heard, Ford's hybrid truck uses the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 and a 35-kW, transmission-integrated electric motor to generate a total of 430 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque, the most torque the F-150 has ever produced from the factory. It can tow up to 12,700 pounds and handle payloads of up to 2,120 pounds. It also features a Pro Power Onboard generator boasting a portable 2.4 kW of juice as standard and up to 7.2 optional kW (18 times more electricity than the closest competitor, Ford says).

Of course, non-hybrid F-150s are also available and here’s how the fuel economy figures break down by engine and number of driven wheels.
