Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid: The Half-Tonne Truck That Powers Your Worksite

The 2026 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid transforms what a pickup truck can do. Beyond hauling materials and towing trailers, this hybrid powertrain converts your truck into a mobile generator capable of powering tools, equipment, and electronics wherever your work takes you.

For contractors, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who needs reliable electricity away from the grid, the PowerBoost Hybrid offers a solution that extends traditional truck capability. With 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque from its 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid V6 engine, this truck delivers the muscle you need for demanding jobs while providing exportable electricity through Pro Power Onboard.

From running power tools on a remote jobsite to charging equipment at a campsite or providing backup power during an outage, the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid brings the power source to you.

How Pro Power Onboard Works

Pro Power Onboard turns the 2026 F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid into a mobile power station with two output options: 2.4 kW or 7.2 kW. The system integrates directly into the truck's hybrid powertrain, drawing from the battery and engine to deliver consistent electricity through multiple outlets located in the cargo bed and cab.

Activating the system takes seconds. Press the Pro Power hard button located above the touchscreen, or navigate to Generator Mode through the SYNC 4 interface on the 12-inch touchscreen. Once activated, cargo bed outlets require an additional press of the power button at each outlet to begin delivering electricity. The truck handles the rest, automatically managing power distribution and engine operation to maintain consistent output.

The 2.4 kW system handles lighter tasks like charging cordless tool batteries, running LED work lights, or powering small appliances. The 7.2 kW system steps up to heavier equipment, including table saws, air compressors, welders, and multiple tools running simultaneously. This higher output matches or exceeds many portable generators while eliminating the need to transport, fuel, and maintain a separate unit.

Real-World Applications for Exportable Electricity

Construction crews benefit from having power wherever the truck parks. Run circular saws, drills, and grinders without searching for electrical outlets or hauling a generator. The 7.2 kW output supports multiple tools operating at once, keeping crews productive on sites without established electrical infrastructure.

Outdoor recreation transforms with exportable electricity. Power electric coolers, portable heaters, cooking equipment, and lighting at campsites. Charge phones, tablets, and camera batteries without relying on vehicle USB ports. The system provides enough capacity to run a small RV setup or power an entire outdoor cooking station.

Emergency preparedness gains a reliable backup option. During power outages, the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid can supply electricity to essential home systems through a transfer switch. Run refrigerators, medical equipment, communication devices, and lighting until grid power returns. The hybrid powertrain's fuel efficiency means the truck can generate electricity for extended periods on a single tank.

PowerBoost Hybrid Performance and Capability

The 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid V6 engine produces 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque, delivering strong acceleration and confident passing power. The hybrid system pairs a twin-turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor, providing instant torque response that makes merging onto highways and navigating city traffic effortless.

Towing capacity reaches 5,080 kg (11,200 lbs) when properly equipped with the 3.73 axle ratio on SuperCrew 4x4 configurations. This capability handles travel trailers, equipment trailers, and boat launches without compromising the hybrid powertrain's efficiency advantages. Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Hitch Assist make connecting and manoeuvring trailers straightforward, even for drivers new to towing.

The 4x4 drivetrain provides traction on construction sites, rural properties, and winter roads. The hybrid system's electric motor delivers immediate torque to the wheels, improving low-speed control when navigating rough terrain or slippery surfaces.

Technology and Driver Assistance Features

The SYNC 4 system with a 12-inch touchscreen serves as the command centre for the truck's technology features. Connected Navigation provides real-time traffic updates and route guidance, while FordPass Connect 5G Wi-Fi keeps devices connected on the road. The interface responds quickly to inputs and organizes functions logically for easy access while driving.

Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 includes a rearview camera, reverse sensing, and intelligent driver assistance features that enhance safety and confidence. BlueCruise enables hands-free highway driving on pre-mapped roads, reducing fatigue during long trips. The Head-Up Display projects key information onto the windshield, keeping speed, navigation, and vehicle data in the driver's line of sight.

Pro Trailer Backup Assist simplifies reversing with a trailer by allowing drivers to control trailer direction using a knob on the dashboard. The system manages steering inputs automatically, making tight parking spots and boat ramps less stressful. Hitch Assist provides a rear camera view with guidance lines to align the truck's hitch receiver with the trailer coupler.
