Tested: 2021 F-150 Hybrid PowerBoost is faster than 2021 F-150 Raptor (on the streets)

[HellcatTremorStang]

Surprised the Tremor was the quickest. I’ll bet we will see Tremors in the 13s - if edmunds only did a 14.3 with the Raptor- I’ve Raptors stock in the high 13s along with the previous Gen Ecoboost Limited F150

The more I see the cost of new F-150's, the more I want to just keep my 2020 5.0 and give it a mild level and proper headlights. The cost-benefit ratio just isn't there.

Stop being logical/sensible!

Well I didn't say "they" as in a publication. I said "that" as in what does it say about the truck, so perhaps you should read thoroughly before rushing to reply. I bring up the TRX since it's faster than both and a better comparison to the Raptor. Also, the TRX is compared to the others in the article, so bringing it up is valid.

I completely missed the TRX being in the article. I swear it wasn’t in there the first time I read the article So yeah, my fault there.

If an off-road truck beat a street truck off-road, that would confirm the off-road truck is better off-road

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but this bad boy will beat the whole bunch in a drag race, then stop and laugh it's ass off waiting for the others to catch up!

It better not be too rude to the drivers it will need to ask for a tow to the next charging station.

It's got pretty good range, will be interesting to see how well it sells, I'm not getting one though, way too expensive.

The range won’t be even worth mentioning as soon as you tow 7000lbs .

You don’t know range anxiety until you try and tow with an electric vehicle . Needless to say, you won’t see many electric F150s doing cross country road trips with their RV campers in tow….

No doubt, I can't imagine trying to tow for any distance at all.

Get real… 90% of all half ton trucks live a life of the 90‘s sedans hauling groceries and kids to soccer games. This thing will have more than enough range and tow capability for the huge majority. There’s a reason why the wait is approaching 3 years if you order today

I suspect I'll buy a 2nd gen Lightning (assuming they'll keep the name). I'm not about to pay sticker plus for a canceled retail ordered 1st gen.
I will have a gas burner as well so if I was to take off for Florida for a quick trip (straight thru drive) that would be available.

My Powerboost will be there to give about 7.2kw of help when it needs it.

There’s always something faster, but the combination of onboard power for dispersed camping, excellent mileage, comfort and handling in town and on the road, and sport mode fun with my Lariat Powerboost is unmatched. Just facts.

And, do we really buy our trucks to drag race them, most don't for sure. I think my 5.0 is extremely fast and your Powerboost is even faster than mine.

I've got a Lightning reservation and a Powerboost on the way. Best of both worlds; PB for long distance trips with the travel trailer, Lightning for trips to the lake with the toys.
