For the first time, Ford is offering a hybrid F-150 which not only packs the brute required for daily messy chores but also gets an impressive driving range - of up to 700 miles. It is powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 coupled to a 35 kW electric motor. The motor gets its juice from a 1.5 kWh Li-Ion pack that is embedded under the

Under the hood, the 3.5-liter DOHC V6 features 24 valves and was factory rated at 186 horsepower and 226 lb-ft of torque, which isn’t a whole lot for a tall SUV that weighs around 4,500 pounds and pushes a ton of
