Rare is the contractor that hasn’t had to deal with the issues that come with deploying a decent portable generator on a remote jobsite.

现在安装,维护和noise-related hassles of gas-powered gensets may become a thing of the past with the introduction of the Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid pickup. In fact, properly equipped, it’s not a stretch to think of it as an electric power plant on wheels.

At the heart of this all-new F-150, the only full-size electric hybrid pickup truck on the market, is the Pro Power Onboard system that can put out up to 7.2 kW of pure sine-wave alternating current.

实际上，这意味着它可以运行足够的设备（例如，120V等离子切割器，120V TIG焊机，斩波锯，1.5 hp的压缩机，一个角度的磨床和工作灯），以使手机商店完全配备。此外，卡车可以在满罐的汽油罐中继续发电长达32小时。

Pro Power Onboard设置均在整个F-150型号系列中提供，包括配备2.7升EcoBoost V6和5.0升V8的卡车。功率输出限制为2.0 kW，并具有这些发动机选择，这仍然足以运行圆形锯或为电动工具充电一组电池。

But things get more interesting with the PowerBoost Hybrid model, which pairs a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

夹在汽油发动机和变速箱之间的是47 hp的电动机，可为位于卡车床下方的1.5 kW小时锂离子电池组充电。总输出为430 hp和570 lb-ft的扭矩使F-150最肌肉发达的动力总成。

Here the Pro Power Onboard system is offered with a choice of a standard 2.4 kW or available 7.2 kW output. Ford says the former can put out enough power to build a deck with a circular saw, while running a battery charger and portable speakers. The 7.2-kW system can supply enough electrical power for a crew to frame out an entire house, including power tools such as circular and compound miter saws, a 0.5-hp air compressor, flood lights and a gang battery charger.

电源来自卡车床上的插座（最多四个120V/20A插座和一个240V/30A出口）和内部装饰。虽然明显的用例是将卡车停在工作地点，但在卡车被驱动时也可以使用电源，从而可以在旅途中充电工具电池。

许多Pro Power on板上系统的功能也可以从Fordpass移动应用程序进行远程控制，从而可以进行快速调整，而无需返回卡车。

从基本的XL工作卡车到高端铂金型号，将在所有F-150装饰级别上提供Pro Power On板设置。即使是7.2 kW电源选项也有望仅在窗口贴纸的底线上增加$ 750。

When it comes to traditional capabilities, the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid can hold its own against other ½-ton models. Towing capacity is rated at a maximum of 12,700 lb, and a sensor providing blind-spot alert with trailer coverage helps make the process less stressful. The truck’s bed and tailgate feature multiple tie-down points to keep the 2,120-lb maximum payload in place.

其他clever contractor-friendly innovations include a fold-down work surface between the front seats, lockable storage beneath the rear seat and over-the-air software updates to minimize downtime. Like the regular F-150 model, the cab features good-sized knobs for climate and infotainment controls, with larger touchscreens available on upper trim levels. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration allow for mobile apps to be accessed from the center-mounted touchscreen.

密切关注燃油经济性，新的F-150具有几个空气动力学设计功能，包括主动格栅百叶窗和自动部署的前空气坝。这些有助于使卡车达到24 mpg的可观EPA燃油经济性估计。这辆卡车在F-150 PowerBoost混合动力车的30.6加仑油箱中采用，在加油之间的范围超过700英里。

The hybrid F-150 is also a strong performer on the road. The combination of the 3.5-liter V6 and an electric motor gave the test truck ENR took for a spin some surprisingly lively acceleration, at least as good as that delivered by the biggest gasoline V8 engines in Ford’s lineup.

处理和骑行质量也比预期的要好，没有重量的笨拙的感觉，人们可能会期望全尺寸的皮卡。
