In this Ford F-150 Platinum PowerBoost review by TheStraightPipes, the team delves into the heart of American muscle with 430 horsepower and 570 lb-ft of torque. They marvel at the truck's performance, highlighting its twin-turbo 3.5L V6 engine. The guys explore the truck's updated features, from new headlights to a gimmicky yet practical tailgate that simplifies loading tasks. They commend Ford's innovation with the Zone lighting and Pro Power on board, turning the truck into a versatile generator on wheels.

Moving on, TheStraightPipes team delves into the tech side of the F-150, praising the head-up display and hybrid components like the orange cables and conveniently located dipstick. They test the Blue Cruise system, digital gauge cluster, and user-friendly infotainment system with essential hard buttons. The reviewers appreciate Ford's approach of keeping critical features accessible without burying them in complex menus. They also highlight the comfort of the seats, complete with massage functions, making long drives a breeze.

In true automotive enthusiast fashion, the team puts the F-150 through its paces, from testing its burnout capabilities to exploring its various powertrain options. They touch on the truck's fuel economy and the practicality of the six different powertrain choices available. The review concludes with a nod to the truck's classic design, heavy on chrome and silver elements, and a mention of the recommended Continental tires for the F-150. TheStraightPipes also highlight the truck's simplified ordering options and the ample space in the bed for multiple tires, showcasing the F-150's blend of power and practicality.
