I think it'll be a non-turbo 3.5L V6 in the hybrid F150. So I don’t think the PHEV is going to hit 400hp. It should have real good torque though with the electric assist.No real surprises here but interesting to see that the PHEV hybrid F-150 will get a 3.5L. Probably the same V6 base engine from the current F-150 which makes 375 hp. The Hybrid F-150 will probably be 400+ HP then.
But there is no naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 in the current F-150, so you're thinking they'll use another engine just for the hybrid? Why wouldn't they just use F-150's current Ecoboost 3.5L V6 for the hybrid model?I think it'll be a non-turbo 3.5L V6 in the hybrid F150. So I don’t think the PHEV is going to hit 400hp.

The Hybrid is only going to be available for the higher trim levels so they probably wanted to give it the flagship engine that's being used in fullsized trucks and SUV's, which is now the 3.5L.I'm surprised Ford isn't using the 3.3L engine that the Explorer Hybrid uses.
I don't think Ford will make a new non-turbo 3.5L just for hybrid F-150. Too costly and they would have just used the 3.3L hybrid powerplant from the Explorer hybrid like @TheOne mentioned.I think it'll be a non-turbo 3.5L V6 in the hybrid F150.

Wow didn't realize the Aviator hybrid hit 495hp. I remember when Lincoln originally estimated about 450hp. Good call on the 500hp, I think it could actually happen and would make a huge splash for the hybrid F150.Should be over 500hp and 700 tq!! Go look at the 2019 Lincoln Aviator Hybrid as a preview. It has 495hp and 630 tq with the 3.0L
But the Aviator has a 3.0-liter I believe, not the Ecoboost. Although you're right, the Aviator has crazy good HP and torque.Should be over 500hp and 700 tq!! Go look at the 2019 Lincoln Aviator Hybrid as a preview. It has 495hp and 630 tq with the 3.0L
The 3.0L is twin turbo which is very similar to the 2.7L (same block) it's an ecoboost. Lincoln doesn't label them as ecoboostBut the Aviator has a 3.0-liter I believe, not the Ecoboost. Although you're right, the Aviator has crazy good HP and torque.
