Fox News Autos test drive: 2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost hybrid
The 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost hybrid is the most powerful model in the lineup. Fox News Autos Editor takes it for a spin and uses it to grab some Zs.
Ford hasn’t officially announced it yet, but the automaker has a new compact pickup coming soon.

It’s based on the new Ford Bronco Sport crossover utility vehicle and will be called the Maverick, according to various spy photos of disguised prototypes and insider leaks.
Now the entire body has been exposed in images shared with Motor1, revealing a four-door, short-bed form in all of its glory – not to mention the name stamped on the tailgate.
Technical details are still unconfirmed, but it will likely be offered with one or both of the engines available in the Bronco Sport, which include a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder.
Ford has only said that it has a new “white space” model on the way, meaning something it doesn’t currently sell, but expect to see the Maverick unveiled sometime next year as a 2022 model.
