I think that Ford's best move would be to use the same engine and battery setup that Lincoln does in the Aviator, but actually detune it to make around 400HP and maybe 500fttq. That way it would not outshine the more expensive Lincoln, but it would still be better than the regular 3.5LTT F150. In the Aviator it manages 21 miles of EV range, but it only gets about 23MPG for gas only and is rated at 56MPGe. Comparatively the RAV4 Prime has a small, 176-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors for a total system output of 302 hp with electronic all-wheel drive, managing 5.8 sec to 60MPH. Granted, it's not a good comparison to the PHEV F150, but Ford should have also come out with a plug-in hybrid Ranger, with a similar setup to Toyota's. It would have been a huge win for Ford. It is nice to get this leaked F150 info, and I hope that we get more official details soon.
