Ford F-150 hybrid or gas: which fits Worcester-area drivers in Worcester, MA?

Ira Ford Auburn sells both. The F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid is the pick if you want built-in Pro Power Onboard output and the torque Ford publishes for it. A gas F-150 is the pick if you want a choice of engines and the lowest starting price. Both are on the lot at 780 Washington St, Auburn, MA 01501.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Auburn. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

Pick the hybrid F-150 for onboard power or a gas F-150 for engine choice

The F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid fits drivers who want Pro Power Onboard output and its published torque. Ford publishes 430 hp and 570 lb-ft for the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6. A gas F-150 fits drivers who want to choose among engines and keep the starting price low. Ira Ford Auburn sells the F-150 new, so a Worcester-area driver can compare both on one lot.

Ira Ford Auburn sells new Ford, and the F-150 is on that list. The store sells Mustang, Bronco Sport, Bronco, Explorer, Expedition, Mustang Mach-E, Maverick, Ranger, F-150, Super Duty, E-Transit, Transit, Transit CC-CA and Chassis Cab.

How much power, torque and towing does each F-150 engine have?

Ford publishes horsepower, torque and maximum towing for the PowerBoost Hybrid and for each gas engine. The 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 makes 430 hp and 570 lb-ft. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 makes 400 hp and 500 lb-ft, and the High-Output version makes 450 hp and 510 lb-ft. The 5.0L PFDI V8 makes 400 hp and 410 lb-ft.

On towing, the 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 is rated at 12,400 lbs in 4×2 and 11,600 lbs in 4×4 when properly equipped. The 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is rated at 13,300 lbs in 4×2 and 13,500 lbs in 4×4. The 5.0L PFDI V8 is rated at 12,800 lbs in both drive setups. Each figure is Ford’s own, for the configuration it names.

What are the EPA fuel economy ratings for the F-150 hybrid and gas?

Ford publishes the EPA city, highway and combined ratings for the PowerBoost Hybrid and for each gas engine. The 2WD PowerBoost Hybrid is rated 23 city, 25 highway and 24 combined.

The EPA combined figure is a weighted average of city and highway, weighted 55% city and 45% highway. Under 40 CFR part 600, subpart D, that weighting is the standard for every combined rating on the label.

EPA defines the fuel economy testing for light-duty vehicles. Automakers test a representative vehicle over five test cycles on a dynamometer, and EPA independently confirms roughly 15% of results at its NVFEL facility.

For a Worcester-area driver, the difference that matters is city driving. The hybrid’s 23 mpg city rating is the highest EPA city rating of any two-wheel-drive F-150.

What does an F-150 hybrid cost compared with a gas F-150?

The F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid carries its published MSRP, and each gas engine has its own starting MSRP by trim. Comparing the same trim shows what the hybrid powertrain adds to the price. Ford does not publish a single starting price for the F-150, so the trim is the figure to compare.

Ford lists the F-150 XL at $39,585, the STX at $41,855, the XLT at $44,695, the Lariat at $59,560, the Tremor at $64,915, the King Ranch at $65,825, the Platinum at $68,800 and the Raptor at $79,005. Those are the trim prices as the manufacturer gives them.

Which F-150 powertrain matches your budget, fuel and towing needs?

One row per powertrain shows the figures a buyer weighs most.

Ford’s figures for each engine are shown in the same row, from the same source.

When is the F-150 hybrid or a gas F-150 the wrong choice?

The hybrid is the wrong fit if you need a trim or a payload rating that Ford publishes only for a gas engine.
