2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid Fuel Economy Ratings Revealed

Blue-jean said:

The fuel economy numbers our out for the new 2021 Hybrid F150 at 24 MPG combined. It does not seem very impressive considering the battery will start losing density and the MPGs will likely go down in the first five years or so. There are people here including myself getting better fuel economy numbers than that.

my 2019 is getting 25 combined hybrid is great for the green peace and the environment the battery movement is great but those numbers change with many factors which need looked into. the economy that diesels give have been proven for many years from vw in the late 70's ford pickups in the 80's/90's and today

Hybrids aren't "great for the environment". They (usually) get better fuel mileage than conventional vehicles, but that's it. Once you figure added cost to buy a hybrid, then add the required additional materials (nickel, lithium, etc.) that have to be mined, refined, processed, shipped, & manufactured to make it, the added weight causing higher particulate emissions from increased wear of the brakes and tires, battery life decreasing over time leading to lower mpg and the cost of disposing of the battery as hazmat at the end of it's service life (~8-10 years, after which the cost to replace it usually results in the vehicle being considered 'totaled'), hybrids really aren't saving anything- especially not the planet.
