Every 2026 Ford Hybrid by MPG

Ranked by EPA-estimated combined MPG, best first. Combined is the city and highway ratings blended into one figure. The table uses the short forms for front-wheel drive (FWD), all-wheel drive (AWD), and four-wheel drive (4x4):

Two things stand out in that table. First, the gap: an EPA-estimated 38 MPG combined for the Maverick Hybrid against the F-150 PowerBoost's EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined in 4x4, a difference of 15 MPG combined. Second, neither one is a stripped-down economy model. One is a five-seat crew cab with a real bed. The other makes 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque.

A note on how to read those MPG figures. The F-150 PowerBoost's EPA-estimated 22 city, 24 highway, and 23 combined are the 4x4 ratings. Notice too that the PowerBoost rates a little higher on the highway than in town, the reverse of the Maverick Hybrid, whose best number is its city figure. City-first is the pattern to expect from a compact full hybrid, because the electric side does its most efficient work in stop-and-go traffic. Read the full-size truck a different way: what its hybrid system is worth shows up against the other F-150 engines further down this page, where the PowerBoost's largest advantage is in town.

So which hybrid model is right for you? If most of your miles are the commute, errands, and the occasional home-project load, take the Maverick Hybrid, where fuel economy is the whole point. If you tow a trailer, carry weight, or need power at a worksite, go with the F-150 PowerBoost, where an EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined in 4x4 is a bonus on top of the capability rather than the reason you bought it.

Maverick Hybrid: The Most Fuel-Efficient Ford You Can Buy

No other Ford hybrid matches the Maverick Hybrid on fuel economy. It pairs a 2.5L full-hybrid four-cylinder with an electric motor for 184 horsepower combined, running through a power-split electronic CVT, and it is EPA-estimated at 42 MPG city, 35 MPG highway, and 38 MPG combined in front-wheel drive. Choose all-wheel drive and the rating moves to an EPA-estimated 40 city, 34 highway, and 37 combined, a small trade for traction in an Indiana February.

What makes it unusual is that the efficiency does not cost you the truck's usefulness. This is a SuperCrew crew cab with seating for five and an open bed behind it, so the same vehicle running an EPA-estimated 42 MPG city commute also takes the mulch, the ladder, and the weekend load. Compact hybrid cars ask you to give something up: the back seat, the cargo space, or the freedom to load something dirty without lining a trunk. This one asks you to give up a full-size body, which for plenty of Anderson drivers is no sacrifice at all. A compact pickup parks in a normal spot, fits a standard garage, and is far easier to place in a downtown lot than a full-size crew cab.

City driving is where the Maverick Hybrid earns its fuel economy. A full hybrid does its best work in town, because the electric side handles the stop-and-go that a conventional engine handles worst, and an EPA-estimated 42 MPG city. If your week is short trips around Anderson with a longer run or two mixed in, this is the Ford that will use the least fuel. The drivetrain, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, is the choice that moves those fuel-economy numbers:

One MPG combined separates the two drivetrains, so all-wheel drive gives up very little fuel economy. When maximum efficiency is the point of the purchase, front-wheel drive wins. When you want surer footing on a January morning, the AWD Maverick Hybrid still rates an EPA-estimated 37 MPG combined, second only to the front-wheel-drive version.

F-150 PowerBoost: The Full-Size Hybrid Truck

A hybrid does not have to be the small option, and this truck is the proof. Its 3.5L PowerBoost full-hybrid V6 makes 430 horsepower at 5,250 rpm (engine revolutions per minute) and 570 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm through a 10-speed modular-hybrid automatic transmission, and it is EPA-estimated at 22 city, 24 highway, and 23 combined in 4x4. Properly configured, a 4x4 PowerBoost will tow up to 11,600 pounds and carry up to 1,740 pounds of payload, meaning the weight the truck itself carries rather than the weight it pulls.

The torque figure is the one to watch if you tow. 570 lb-ft, available at 3,500 rpm, is what gets a loaded trailer moving from a stop and holds a speed up a hill without the truck shifting up and down through its gears, and the 10-speed transmission keeps the gas V6 working where it is strongest while the electric motor adds power. That same combination is why the truck is EPA-estimated at 23 MPG combined in 4x4 while making 430 horsepower, a pairing full-size trucks rarely offer.

Here is how the hybrid compares with the other F-150 engines. Same truck, same 4x4 drivetrain, so the ratings line up against each other:

Most truck shoppers want to know what the hybrid saves against a V8, so set those two lines side by side. In the same truck and the same 4x4 drivetrain, the PowerBoost rates an EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined where the 5.0L V8 rates 19. On the highway the two are even, an EPA-estimated 24 MPG each. The separation is in town: an EPA-estimated 22 MPG city for the hybrid against 16 for the V8, a 6 MPG difference on exactly the kind of driving a work truck does between stops.

The tow and payload maximums vary by configuration: a 4x4 PowerBoost reaches up to 11,600 pounds of towing and up to 1,740 pounds of payload only when properly configured with the right cab, bed, axle, and equipment. That is worth settling before you order, because the difference between a truck that pulls your trailer comfortably and one that is at its limit is decided when the truck is built.

The feature that changes how the truck gets used is Pro Power Onboard, a generator built into the vehicle that runs tools and equipment directly off the truck. For a contractor, the saw, the compressor, and the lights run at the site without towing a separate generator behind you, and without the fuel, the noise, and the trailer space that generator costs. On a farm or a property with outbuildings, power arrives wherever the truck can be parked. For everybody else, the truck powers the tailgate at a ballgame, the camper on a trip, or the house during an outage. See the full 2026 F-150 page for the rest of what the truck offers.

Hybrid or Fully Electric: What the Difference Means

Neither of these hybrids ever plugs in. Both are full hybrids, so the gas engine and regenerative braking keep the battery charged as you drive, and you fuel them at a gas pump exactly like any other Ford. The efficiency happens without you doing anything differently.

Hybrid Battery Coverage and Crash Ratings

The question buyers ask most often about hybrids is the battery, so here is the coverage in plain terms:

The hybrid line is the one that matters. Hybrid hardware, high-voltage battery included, carries a longer term than either the basic or the powertrain warranty, which is the manufacturer putting its own coverage behind the part shoppers worry about most. Ford states that gradual loss of battery capacity over time is normal wear and is not covered by the hybrid warranty. That is the honest caveat on every hybrid battery from every manufacturer, and it is worth knowing before you sign rather than after.

Crash testing is the other thing worth stating plainly. The federal government's New Car Assessment Program, run by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), has not published a crash rating for either of these trucks, so both are not rated. That means no test result exists to report at this time, not a poor one. If a published rating is part of how you decide, our team in Anderson can walk you through the safety equipment on each truck instead.
