hey what's up everybody welcome to car question matt is here to test the new ford f-150 it's the
most a popular truck the best seller many many years and when you look at the redesign you
can understand why and finally ford has won the hybrid truck race because you can drive a ford
power boost the first hybrid truck that you can get right now in the market and why a sport's been
so popular in north america well it's pretty easy to understand why because you can customize the
truck as much as you want you've got three cabin land three bed size land you've got six engine to
choose from and the last hybrid is just the cherry on the top so when you look at the exterior i kind
of like the redesign you can see that front end which is really muscular those lights are looking
really great and since we have a larger edition well you can see a lot of chrome there this truck
is kind of huge when you look on the side you can see the fx4 off-road logo that means that
we have a rear locker in the back and we're gonna be able to get onto some great off-road pad you've
got also the side step as soon as you're gonna approach the truck there's some major exterior
lighting also that i really like but my favorite option is when you get to the bed you simply
lower the panel you're gonna be able to take some measure of the wood that you are working on if you
need to plug some tools there you go you've got an on-board generator and this is so neat this is the
kind of option that is perfect for anybody that will work with their truck inside now well we've
got a fully equipped version but one of the neat feature is that tablet as soon as you press on the
button you're gonna see that shifter go down and you simply unfold that center console right here
you will have a full-size table where you can put your laptop your tablet all your files to make
sure that you have easy access to those i really love the cluster digital how about that 12 inches
sync 4 display so great so fluid really easy to use how about apple carplay wireless and
everything is within reach the pro trailer assist system the drive mode anything that you want right
there at the tip of your finger and that's why this is so easy to use those truck to work with
engine time well you've got many configuration possible i really like the v8 how about you guys
which one is your favorite engine for the ford f-150 but now power boost is now available
this is the hybrid configuration so they're still going to use that 3.5 liter engine twin turbo v6
a lot of power though combined 430 horsepower 570 pound foot of torque this is major power it's made
it to that 10 speed that sometimes can be harsh though and you've got also the 1.5 kilowatt-hour
lithium battery and you've got one electric engine which is gonna be able to deliver 47 horsepower
so once you're gonna drive behind the wheel how does it feel well it's really fast that power
boost configuration you step on it you pass there you go boom your gun just like a rocket
this is a fast truck that will not be scared of a lot of sports car at the red light
you can feel also that it's getting a little bumpy over time you've got that direction which
is kind of numb and if you're gonna break in an emergency maneuver you will need to press
really hard on it so beside that it handles just like a truck just like it should do
once you're gonna be loaded and towing also you don't really feel that but be careful to
the weight on your pole of the trailer you've got one of the nicest option that you can find
in all truck segment this is the pro power on onboard generator base is going to be 2.4 kilowatt
but if you want to go with the biggest optional one 7.2 ford claims that the high head and the 7.2
kilowatt system can simultaneously power a plasma cutter a tig welder chop saw hair compressor
angle grinder work light name it everything that you need to create a little workshop right there
in your truck so you can operate for 32 hours continuously with a full tank of gas allowing
intensive work all day long and if you don't need that power ford says that the 2.4 kilowatt system
can run a jackhammer mobile theater setup with a projector speaker the popcorn machine oh lala
and you're gonna be able to check a movie for 85 hours so nobody's gonna get bored at the camping
site that's for sure so this is one of the best option that you can go for but the big question is
is a hybrid system really worth it are you gonna save a lot of fuel once you will be using that
drug ford is pretty optimistic with the numbers i'm kind of deceived because you will save one two
three liter by 100 it's not that much and the price for that option is kind of high though so
optimistically ford is telling us that it can do 9.8 in the city 9.7 liter per 100 on the highway
but hey we were like around 10 and 11. so it's gonna take a long time before you will get even
with the money that you spend for that hybrid system and you're gonna be able to tow a lot to
11 000 pounds of towing capacity maximum 12 700 pounds with a power boost configuration
but yes i know some other configuration with the v6 3.5 ecoboost can go up to 14 000 pounds
so it's much more a statement it's much more about torque if you're gonna tow a lot well
that little 70 pound foot of torque is going to be more than a fun to have you're going to be
able to move around and if you can move around and have less fuel consume i think that's a thumbs up
but for the money it's a lot of money to spend to get to that hybrid system so if you're gonna
work with your truck all day over time well you might get even but if you don't work if you don't
tow all day hmm that's a big question how about you which one do you prefer would you go with a
regular or a power boost configuration feel free to tell me in the comment section down there below
so on the minus side the price for the power boost is kind of ooh i kind of love the money though
and it's not really convincing when you check at the fuel economy that you do
for everyday use if you're just gonna roll in the city slowly on the highway
maybe but remember that when you're gonna tow it's gonna be easier to move that trailer but
still fuel efficiency there's not a big difference when you're gonna be towing with hybrid system
on the plus side though that hybrid the power is just fast it's really impressive passing maneuvers
reaction wow you're gonna be gone like the wind the technology is there how about that pro power
but ford has also announced something really new it's right there in the bed you can put in the bed
more than two thousand pound with those truck but sometimes it's kind of difficult to see if you're
overload or simply you can put more so the big news is that as soon as the lifts gonna deposit
the cargo in the box you're gonna see your led lights on the side just like battery of a cell
phone you're gonna see if it's too much if it's right there in the middle or if it's too low and
you can put more that's really amazing that's gonna be the same thing also for the trailer
you can see that in at the center screen and you can also check it with the apps
amazing technology for whoever is working with those truck and that's my point with ford you
know they're always staying one step ahead of the competition with so many cool gadgets
just like that that if you're working with your truck this is the kind of option that you want
so you've got them more power than you ever need with the power boost on the plus side and you've
got that innovative generator in the back which is kind of crazy because gun is that little yama
or honda generator that you need to carry more maintenance on it now you've got one thing one
engine one oil change which is gonna be your truck so what do you think about that new ford
