2022 Ford F-150 Power and Performance Features are Electrifying

The Ford F-150 is America’s biggest selling vehicle for a reason; it gets the job done. Largely credited for that prowess are a variety of powertrains and the inimitable Ford F-150 towing capacity which return with the 2022 model. While Ford leaves a good thing as is with its powertrain lineup, green enthusiasts welcome the F-150’s new hybrid for 2022.

Standard on the Ford F-150 XL and Ford F-150 XLT trims is a 3.3-liter V-6, good for 290 horsepower and a max towing capacity of 8,200 lbs. The 2.7-liter turbo-6, standard at the Lariat level, delivers 325 hp, 400 lb-ft of torque and carries a max towing capacity of 10,100 lbs.

If you’re really out to command attention, the 2022 Ford F-150 tips the scales in its favor in a big way with its two mightiest powertrains; a 400-hp 5.0-liter V-8, good for a max towing capacity of 13,000 lbs. The other is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, which delivers 400-hp, 500 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to an astonishing 14,000 lbs.

Scheduled for a rollout with the 2022 collection of F-150s is the F-150 Lightning hybrid which includes a 47-hp electric motor and 1.5-kwh lithium-ion battery with the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 (430-hp and 570 lb-ft. of torque). The eyebrow-raising on-board generator which can run four 120-volt and one 240-volt outlets upwards of 32 hours.

Primarily rear-wheel drive, a Ford F-150 4x4 is an option.
