2023 Ford 150 – Engine and Performance in Summerland

Several power-train options are available for the 2023 F-150, including a 290-hp 3.3-liter V-6, a 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8, a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged 325-hp, a 400-hp twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6, and a 250-hp 3.0-liter diesel V-6. Regardless of which engine you go with, the F-150 is teamed with an automatic 10-speed transmission.
The F-150 is available with a hybrid drive-train for the first time. Ford claims that its new 400-hp hybrid power-train, comprised of a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6, will provide up to 700 miles of driving range per tank and can power an onboard generator to keep the power flowing on job sites or during power outages.
The F-150 will offer buyers a choice between four- and rear-wheel drive with each of its engine options. A four-wheel-drive Lariat equipped with the hybrid drive-train accelerated to 60 miles per hour in just 5.4 seconds on our test track. Our test vehicle had a smooth ride and predictable handling; the King Ranch’s optional variable-assist steering system gave it a sportier feel at low speeds. The Tremor variant boasts the highest claimed off-road performance thanks to its 33-inch all-terrain tires, improved suspension, locking rear differential, and the drive transfer (four-wheel) case adapted from the formidable F-150 Raptor. In 5.3 seconds, the Tremor accelerated from 0-60 mph on the test track, coming in second only to the Raptor by 0.1 second.
