For 2022, the F-150 PowerBoost has a few updates, such as onboard scales, a Smart Hitch and new appearance packages, but what hasn’t changed is the fuel efficiency, the massive torque that is perfect for towing, and the deal-maker of the Pro Power Onboard electric generator.
While presented as beefy and capable as the Ford F-150, because of its non-standard configuration, the Cybertruck will likely fail to be seen as a true head-to-head competitor, even if it can keep to its stated $39,900 starting price.
Electric power makes a lot of sense for pickups, so what can we expect when these new trucks hit the road?
Now there’s more F-150 electrified news. “We’re going to be electrifying the F-Series—battery electric and hybrid,” Jim Farley, Ford president of global markets, said.
The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) aka the Detroit Auto Show is where the best and brightest, the newest ideas in cars and trucks appear first. It’s the big stage, and the 2014 NAIAS stage had many stories, but the biggest was that of Ford’s reinventing of its best-seller, the F-150 pickup.
