New Ford F-150 Hybrid Powertrain and Release Date
Hybrid vehicles used to be known simply as small cars that got great gas mileage while not offering much in terms of horsepower and torque. But that’s all changing. And it’s changing rapidly. Hybrid powertrains have become much more advanced than they were in the early days, and more and more people are becoming fans of what they can do. Because of that, automakers like Ford are beginning to expand their hybrid offerings. That includes hybrid versions of models you may not expect.

We’ve still got a while to wait until that becomes a reality, but in the meantime, let’s find out all we can about the new Ford F-150 Hybrid powertrain and release date.
