@@earlreyes212Powerboost is hybrid, but no plug-in. The batteries just charge from the engine and braking. Some hybrids you can also plug in, like Toyota's Prime hybrids. They have larger batteries that allow for more full-time electric range, but once the battery gets used up they go back to operating like regular hybrid vehicles until you plug it in and charge the battery up again.

I don't care how an engine sounds. l care about economy and reliability. I have a 2.7 with over 100,000 and it doesn't even use a quart of oil in 4000 miles. It gets 26 MPG @ 65 but you have to keep your foot out of it. The 2.7 was improved in 2018 by adding port injection but now they messed it up by rubber wet belt driving the oil pump. The newer 3.5 has a crank shaft driven oil pump but a timing chain driven water pump so if it pukes into the oil, you can get a fresh new engine. But not to worry, Ford put a weep hole that will drip showing it's time to change the water pump and retime the chain. Unfortunately they put it on the side of the engine covered by the alternator so you won't be bothered looking at the unsightly drip.

My perfect 2024 F150 would be a reg cab, 4x4, short box. I would go with the 3.3 motor but it looks like it's not available for 2024...bummer. Now, if I were to upgrade, I would want the 3.5 Eco...not the Powerboost though. People aren't doing their research if they care about longevity like I do. Ford isn't really advertising what I feel are a few big glaring issues with the 2.7 and 5.0. Do salespeople even know about it or is Ford reps leaving them in the dark?
I noticed you didn't mention the hybrid 3.5 powerboost Gas mileage, which leads me to think it is either worse than the others or it sucked. It may even cost so much more and the gas saving numbers may show is not worth it. I wish you were honest with that one🤔
The PowerBoost hybrid really shines with city driving. On the highway it is very comparable to the other engines. The stop and go traffic and city driving is where you see the difference where the electric power takes the initial acceleration and allows for the engine to be off. Once the truck is up to speed the engine can kick on and recharge the battery. Savings are roughly 5mpg more in the city with the hybrid comparing to the non-hybrid 3.5L EcoBoost engine.
Amazing that Ford seemed to mute the V8 more then in the ecoboost V6 engines. I really think Ford is trying to phase the coyote motor out of the lineup as all the other truck manufacturers are going the Ford route with small displacement turbo charged engines. At least the natural aspirated V6 should prove worthy and the ones with the 5.0 V8. I'm not a fan of the complexity and high maintenance requirements for the ecoboost motors. Direct injection without port injection is a disaster waiting to happen. Happy to see Ford corrected this flaw at least on the newer vehicles with these motors. Unfortunately these trucks have become out of the commonsense individual hands with its overly inflated prices. The average truck is $50k and doesn't even have most options that are not that expensive to add into the already overly inflated priced standard list. Nickel and dime is the way as long as overly inflated ego showing balls hanging from the hitch Neanderthals keep spending that apparently easily obtained money. When will enough really be enough? Maybe they think paying all that money will make people on the job site think they must make good money 😛
This might come as a shock, but the Ecoboost motors actually have less mechanical moving elements than the Coyote. The 2.7l is also built like a diesel, with a crazy amount of structural reinforcement.
@roywall8169 my f150 has the 3rd gen , 400 hp and 500 torque ,smooth as silk and power on demand , I have had two other trucks with this engine and they have been stellar in performance about dependability.. fleet vehicles get a shit kicking and non stop idle time.
