2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Interior, Pictures, Engine – When gasoline and electricity work together, they can lead to impressive performance. Unless you move up to a Raptor, the 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid is currently the most powerful of all of Ford’s half-ton trucks. Dubbed PowerBoost, the hybrid powertrain is offered only with the crew cab configuration with four-wheel drive, and is available on all but the entry XL and STX trims.
The Ford F-150 was updated for 2026, including new head- and tail lights, keeping this good-looking truck fresh. The hybrid is distinguished by the PowerBoost badges on the front doors. Inside, the focus is on the 12-inch centre screen, but there are still hard buttons and dials below it for climate and other functions. The large centre console lid is part of an optional interior workspace included in this tester which lets you fold down the gear selector and then unfold the console lid over it, creating a flat space between the front seats. 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Interior

Exterior and Interior
The Ford F-150’s hybrid system is primarily about extra power rather than efficiency. The Ford F-150 can drive on electricity alone, but it requires a very light foot. It switches automatically between gas, electricity, or a combination of both, depending on driving conditions, but the transition can often be rough and abrupt.
Otherwise, it’s pretty much like a conventional Ford F-150, with responsive steering and handling that’s relatively tight for a big truck like this. Acceleration is smooth when you take off moderately, and quick when you put your foot into it. For all its size and weight, this truck can really haul.
2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Specs
The Ford F-150 can sometimes feel like a blank slate. Despite a starting price of nearly $70,000, this tester featured numerous options I would have expected to be standard. These included heated seats, a power passenger seat, leather upholstery, a wireless charger, and adaptive cruise control. Also extra were a tow-haul package with an integrated brake controller; that aforementioned fold-down console lid; and a power-sliding rear window.
The Ford F-150 is simple to use for most functions, including the cabin temperature — falling just a little shy is fan direction, where the button doesn’t change it but brings up screen icons. Still, the centre screen’s menus are intuitive, as are the steering wheel buttons; there are quite a few of them, but there are stops on some to help guide your thumbs.
Engine and Performance
The Ford F-150 Hybrid uses a turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine and combines it with a battery pack and electric motor for a total of 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque. On non-hybrid trucks, that 3.5L V6 alone makes 400 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque.
That is more power than any Ford F-150 sans the Raptor name, even if it isn’t the king of hybrid trucks. That’s the Toyota Tundra i-Force Max, which also uses a turbocharged 3.5L V6 to generate 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. The Tundra and Ford F-150 are the only suitable hybrid pickups that will be available for purchase in 2026. For the recently updated Ram 1500, eTorque, a mild hybrid system that cannot run entirely on electricity, is available.
2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Fuel Economy
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) rates the Ford F-150 Hybrid at 11.4 L/100 km city, 10.1 highway, and 10.8 combined, and it takes regular-grade gasoline. As mentioned, it’s more about power than spectacular efficiency, although it’s better than the non-hybrid Ford F-150 3.5L V6 at 12.3 L/100 km in combined driving, and the Toyota Tundra Hybrid at 11.7 L/100 km. In my week with the Ford F-150, I averaged 11.8 L/100 km. 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Interior
2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Safety Features
The Ford F-150 received a “Poor” rating in the new front moderate overlap test, which now evaluates the possibility of harm to both passengers in front and those in the backseat. Standard features include emergency front braking, post-collision braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage and rear cross-traffic alert, and the back-up camera that’s mandatory on all new vehicles. 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Interior
2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Price and Release Date
The 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid could be the right truck, but buyers have to be more interested in its power, because the price difference will take a long time to catch up to its advantage at the gas pump, if ever. It’s powerful, has generous towing capacity, and is comfortable, but the hybrid option is expensive. You’ll have to consider all its factors to see if gas plus electric is the best way to go.
The hybrid option’s price depends on the base engine in each trim, because it’s the difference from the cost of that engine. For my XLT, which starts with a turbocharged 2.7L V6, the hybrid is an additional $4,575. Overall, the hybrid lineup runs from $74,195 to $106,485. By comparison, the Toyota Tundra Hybrid runs from $75,280 to $92,620, including delivery. 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid Interior
