Ford F-150 Lariat Supercrew (P702 - 2021)
Ford launched its new for 2021 Ford F-150 a month or so ago. Codenamed P702, the new truck appears to be a moderate change to the 6-year-old P552 series which preceded it.
The P702 receives a couple of interesting new features however.
In the powertrain department, the F-150 is now available with Petrol-Electric Hybrid powertrain, pairing the 3.5L Ecoboost V6 with a 35 kw (47 hp) electric motor, sandwiched between the engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission. Available on an F-150 trim level, the Hybrid F-150 claims to have the most power and most torque of any pickup in its class, though no figure a quoted at this stage.
One thing the Hybrid powertrain enables is usable electric power to the pickup bed for the customer. Ford terms this feature as 'Pro Power on Board'. The 1.5 kW.hr lithium-ion battery in the Hybrid system provides 120V and or 240V to outlets in the loadbox, to power either a 2.3 kW or 7.2 kW AC inverter system.
Other powertrains available in the P702 are a 3.3L Flex-Fuel V6, a 2.7L V6 Ecoboost, 5.0L V8, 3.5L V6 Ecoboost and 3.0L Turbo-Diesel. Performance figures for each powertrain are yet to be released.
Though not available at launch, Ford has issued a lot of press material concerning a full-electric version of the F-150 Pickup to be made available within two years of the launch of the conventional engine models.
Shown here is the Lariat trim, one of the more highly equipped and expensive versions in the model range.
