Hybrid is currently a much more effective concept. I hate ford, but they have something called the powerboost. Its the 3.5 ecoboost with a hybrid system attached to it. I believe that should be the next step before ALL electric.
Except the Ecoboost is a pile of crap.
I had a 2013 Ford F150 FX2 with the V6 twin turbo 3.5L Eco in it. First problem was a leaking Rear Diff Pinion Seal at 47k miles; like WTF. At 85K it began cascading failures: transmission Lead Frame, Throttle body, Turbos, and finally I got rid of it due to a head gasket fail (oil looked like creamed mocha coffee). I babied that thing, never drove it hard and never towed a single trailer but did use the bed to help move a few people to new houses and my own home projects.
Did a lot of research into those engines once things began failing and they're just crap, many failing before 100k miles. Never again. Traded in for a RAM Laramie 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi. Couldnt be happier. Missed that V8 rumble.
Real talk. All these normies creaming over turbo cars haven't been around a truck shop when the turbo goes out and the bill is in the thousands.
Naturally aspirated for me thanks.
