What 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid owners say
Transmission & drivetrain
First started having problems with 4x4 randomly engaging and then shortly after that a complete loss of braking capability. Warnings of Park Brake Fault, Check Brake System, Reverse Brake Assist not Available, Check Brake System, Park Brake Limited Function, Pre-Collision Assist not Available. This happened at approximately 240 miles on a new vehicle. Took to Ford Dealership, after about 5 days got the vehicle back and drove it about 4 miles before all the brake system lights came on again and another complete loss of braking capability. Had truck towed to dealer the second time (drove the first time and had little to no braking ability which happened during middle of drive). Truck still at dealer with about 270 miles on it now with no solution yet. Ford Engineers have proposed replacing a pigtail for potential loose pin fitment.
I have a 2026 F150 3.5L Twin-turbo ECOBOOST Hybrid King Ranch. I have experienced the following behaviors: (1) rough transitions when climbing grades; (2) rough transitions when braking hard/coming down grades; (3) 10-speed transmission - electric motor slippage during de-accerelation (especially when Adapted Cruise is activated); (4) transmission seems to have gear hunting at low speeds/stop and go; and (5) harsh shifts/unpredictable downshifting with adaptive cruise. I purchased this f150 since Ford advertised the Eco-Powerboost Hybrid/10-speed transmission was built for heavy duty hauling/towing. In my mind, heat is the silent killer of hybrid long-term reliability and longevity (I live in SC - a hot climate). In my mind, I feel this electric-gas powertrain guesses my driving habits instead of responding to my driving habits.
