A hybrid powertrain (Ford's PowerBoost) that combines the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with an electric motor and a battery pack (430 hp, 570 lb-ft). Raptor R-specific supercharged 5.2-liter V8 (700 hp, 640 lb-ft). Raptor-specific turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 (450 hp, 510 lb-ft). 3.3-liter V6 (290 horsepower, 265 lb-ft of torque). Check out our experiences with living with F-150 here. It's a 2021 model, but our coverage applies to the 2023 F-150 as well. The F-150 continues to do traditional truck things well, but we want to play around with Pro Power Onboard and get a better sense of the hybrid fuel economy over a year of driving and 20,000 miles. We added a Ford F-150 with the hybrid V6 engine to our long-term road test fleet. For a full breakdown on the 2023 Ford F-150, check out our test team's Expert Rating below. Available for the base XL trim, the Rattler brings the contents of the FX4 off-road package plus a set of knobby all-terrain tires. While the Raptor R sits at the top of the F-150's off-road hierarchy, a new Rattler package adds capability at the bottom of the lineup. The blown eight-cylinder produces 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque - enough to give the F-150 the juice it needs to compete with the Ram 1500 TRX. It takes the inherent off-road chops of the Raptor but ditches the turbocharged V6 in favor of the Shelby GT500's monstrously powerful supercharged V8. The biggest news for 2023 is inarguably the new Raptor R.
On top of that, the system can serve as a backup generator for your house, similar to the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning. One of the F-150's newest, most advanced drivetrains is Ford's PowerBoost hybrid setup, which produces a reasonable amount of power and still gets relatively good fuel economy.
The truck continues to offer a wide range of drivetrain options, high towing and payload capabilities, and a comfortable modern interior. Having undergone a redesign in 2021, the core Ford F-150 lineup sees minimal changes for 2023.
