According to Ford, it can cover 250 miles per charge and accelerate to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, but the Performance Edition is even quicker than that.
It ll do the job in 3.3 seconds, but has a range of just 235 miles per charge. Both due in part to its set of stickier Pirelli P-Zero summer performance tires.
The Performance Edition also gets uniquely styled wheels, computer-controlled adaptive shocks, Brembo front brake calipers and unique grey upholstery for its deep bucket seats.
Both also have a unique drive mode called Unbridled Extend that cranks up the digitally-enhanced motor noise, loosens up the stability control and balances the power output so it stays consistent over a long lapping session, which is something electric sports cars aren t always great at.
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.
The Ford F-150 has the highest payload capacity in its class at 3,325 pounds, but you can still overdo it if you re not careful.
To keep you from doing that, Ford is adding a built-in Onboard Scales system to the F-150 s options list.
The feature is calibrated for each specific truck configuration and offers a live approximate weight on the infotainment system display and via an app.
To make things even easier as the truck is being loaded, four LEDs within the tail light cluster illuminate sequentially as the maximum capacity is approached and the top one blinks if it has been exceeded.
The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the most powerful pickup ever made, but it s not all about speed. The high performance off-roader is a well-rounded monster truck, says Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu.
Ever since Jeep unveiled its new three-row Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs, there s been talk about Ram adding something similar to its lineup.
Nothing s been confirmed yet, but impatient Ram shoppers looking for some extra people-carrying capacity now have an option if they re willing to pay a premium. (Hennessey Performance)

According to used automobile wholesaler Manheim, the average wholesale price for a pickup hit $30,093 in mid-April, which is up from #28,121 a month earlier and $17,201 last April when the industry was oversupplied during the worst part of the coronavirus lockdowns.
Manheim chief economist Jonathan Smoke said the increase should be reflected in retail prices within six to eight weeks. This is fundamentally the most extreme demand and supply imbalance that you can envision happening, he said.
Along with the reopening of the economy and improving customer sentiment, stimulus payments and tax refunds are creating a perfect storm that’s driving demand.
