2024 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat PowerBoost Review: Where Muscle Meets Modern Utility

It’s hard to argue with a vehicle that checks nearly every box — and the 2024 Ford F-150 SuperCrew Lariat PowerBoost Hybrid is one of those rare trucks. After spending some serious time behind the wheel, I can confidently say this may be one of the most well-rounded full-size pickups on the market today.

Whether you're towing, commuting, working remote, or heading into the woods for a weekend escape, this truck just gets it done.

The Best of Both Worlds: Power + Efficiency

Let’s start under the hood. This F-150 is powered by a 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid V6 mated to a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. The combination delivers impressive acceleration (0–60 in about 5.4 seconds) — a number that puts some performance SUVs to shame. But what’s equally impressive is the fuel economy. I averaged 23 MPG combined, with 22 MPG in the city and 24 on the highway — excellent figures for a full-size truck with this much capability.

You’re getting all the power and torque of a traditional V6, with the fuel savings of a hybrid system. It’s quiet at idle, punchy when you need it, and overall just a seamless driving experience.

Comfort That Surprises

This truck surprised me with how comfortable and luxurious it is inside. From the leather-trimmed heated and ventilated seats to the ambient lighting and dual-zone climate control, the F-150 Lariat feels more like a high-end SUV than a rugged work truck. It even worked great as a mobile office, with Ford’s Mobile Office Package providing lockable storage and a wireless charging pad — making it easy to set up shop on the go.

The suspension tuning also impressed me. Despite being a large, high-riding pickup, it doesn’t bounce around. Body roll is minimal, and the ride is smooth and confident, even over rough pavement or uneven terrain.

Tech That Doesn’t Get in the Way

The 12-inch touchscreen running Ford’s SYNC 4 is intuitive and quick to respond. Paired with the 12-inch digital productivity screen in front of the driver, everything you need is easily accessible. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are here, of course, but so is a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and BlueCruise capability (though the trial version is only 90 days).

From Pro Power Onboard with 7.2kW of output (enough to power a job site or a tailgate party), to an available spray-in bedliner and trailer brake controller, this truck is ready to work hard and play harder.

Styling That Stands Out

Let’s talk looks. The Star White Metallic Tri-Coat paired with the Lariat Black Appearance Package makes this truck stand out in all the right ways. The 22" gloss black wheels give it a commanding presence, and the LED lighting all around (including side mirror spotlights) adds both function and flair. I loved the white Ford emblem — a nice design touch that makes this build feel special.

The One Knock: Price

There’s no getting around it — this truck is expensive. With options, the sticker comes in around $82K. That’s a lot of money. But to be fair, you’re getting a lot: hybrid power, full towing capacity, Pro Power Onboard, luxury-level interior appointments, and next-gen tech. It’s not cheap, but it’s not overpriced either — just a high-end product priced accordingly.

Final Thoughts

With a Chris Score of 94.5, this is one of the highest-rated vehicles I’ve driven this year. It’s powerful, comfortable, efficient, and loaded with features. Whether you’re commuting, hauling, camping, or just want a full-size truck that feels good to drive, the 2024 F-150 Lariat PowerBoost delivers.

It’s the kind of truck that makes you look forward to driving again — even if you’re just heading to the grocery store.
