The new I-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain gives you 437 horsepower at 5,200 rpm with 583 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,400 rpm. The I-FORCE MAX combines the 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 with a motor generator. The motor generator is there with extra power when you need it most, while the parallel hybrid components power engine start-up, EV driving, and electric assist. The hybrid system is based on a reliable 288V sealed nickel-metal hydride battery under the rear passenger seats. The hybrid system offers unprecedented efficiency for a truck of this size and power, with 20 MPG city/24 MPG highway.
