Regrets?

[Jaybird2022]

What are some of your issues? It doesn't look like you've posted about any and often people in the community are able to help with some of them.

The truth is that once the trucks delivered, ones without issues will go awol while people with issues only stick around and address issues. I for will ghost once I get the keys lol.

What the funny truth is one trucks delivered, ones without issues will go awol while people with issues only stick around and address issues. I for one will probably ghost once I get the keys lol

Oh absolutely and that's why an overwhelming amount of the posts here are questions or complaints. BUT there's also lots of solutions here. Whether simple fixes or ideas for where your dealer can start looking.

What I found interesting was the OP mentioned a growing list of issues yet this is his/her first post.

Right? Still waiting to see what the issues are. Maybe there are fixes he might not know about.

On a serious note: I have 12,200 miles. My truck hasn't seen any type of Ford dealership since the day I bought it. That's 12,200 miles since May 15 2021. 6 months.

So I am pressing this PB. No problems that warrant a dealer at all.

By 12,000 miles in the new generation Ram, I was at dealer about 4 or 5 times.

Why do ram owners talk like their trucks made out of gold and talk down on Ford when they have the same share of issues lol. I don’t get it. I like to see the playing field from a even view and did thorough research and it seems even the ever reliable Toyota trucks isn’t safe from issues and problems

I'm trying to figure out if you were thinking I was implying my Ram was made out of gold.... and if I was talking down on Ford.

Lol no shots fired at you lol. It actually validates it even more coming from previous ram/Ford owners like yourself. I just have too many buds in the military swearing One company sucks as opposed to their Rams. I’d rather hear it from someone who’s had experience with both trucks like yourself.

Ah Roger that. Makes sense. Yeah, lots of loyalists. Extreme types. Irrational.

And on that note, but also a different note, I think people should also realize the concept of 1st place in anything doesn't mean it's perfect.

If you pit 3 different stooges against each other, one is going to come in first place. But it's still a stooge.

In the end I just want a roomy relaxable truck with good mpg and bonus points if it’s nice to look at ?. Would’ve gone with lightning but I need something in this lifetime lol.

No regrets. Loved the lower back support, Lexus 2018 450h and 2013 Highlander hybrid can't beat it. As for the ac issue, we'll see what happen next summer.

It's my very first truck as well. Best purchase I ever made.

I've owned hundreds of vehicles throughout the years, many of which made me very happy, but none have given me the 'let's just go for a ride coz I can' feeling more than this truck has. It's powerful, versatile and fun to drive. It commands the road like no other vehicle I've driven before. It's my first, but most likely not my last truck.

I'm only about 650 miles in on the odometer for my Powerboost XLT 302A FX-4 Sport Appearance Package, with 360 Co-Pilot Assist 2.0, 360 degree camera package, Max Trailer Tow package, 7.2KW Pro Power, and a couple other goodies. The truck was built at the end of September (9/24/21) and has been perfect so far.? To the folks in Dearborn that assembled the truck and everyone else that designed, engineered, tested, and the made the parts, Thanks! I'm really impressed with the fit and finish and especially how buttery smooth my Hybrid Engine/transmission is.

No regrets and just had my 3rd oil change. The only issue was a tab on a puddle light broke and it needed replaced. I do need to reset the fuse for the sync 4 once in a while but the dealer is looking into it for me so it can be fixed. Only has happened twice but that is twice too many.

 

[Snakebitten]

I don't know the exact number, but there are many thousands of Powerboost trucks already in use. I'm pleased to see just how few have been represented so far on the forum, that is probably the easiest to find if you Google, in order to post their problems.

If you were to conclude that this forum represents a disappointing number of complaints, then you are misunderstanding the scale. There isn't even a 1% representation here. Not even close. And yet still the Powerboost get praise by the vast majority.

i love my powerboost!

 

[FORDHOSTAGE]

I do have one significant regret. I picked up my Powerboost in Iowa in June and, first time in the seat, drove it 1400 miles back to Prescott, AZ without a hiccup. In September, we hooked up our 6,000# trailer and towed it 3,000 miles, up the west side of the Rockies and back down the east side, again without a hiccup. It has yet to see the dealer, altho' an oil change is getting close. My regret? Ford's chronically poor way of communicating with its customers. We're actually considering a Mach-E now and I'm seeing the same lack of satisfactory comms from Ford with that community and their issues as I experienced while waiting for my F150. This is our first Ford, my originally doubting wife loves the truck, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. So it's such a shame I'm left with doubts about buying from Ford again, even tho' we are the perfect use case for a MME.

Rent a Tesla first.

From everything I've read... they bend over BACKWARDS to make sure every customer is happy over and above the call of duty. And you'll get your new Tesla in "weeks" NOT "months"!

But regardless of Ford's obscene, unforgivable, complete, painfully unmistakable and indisputable lack of and maybe even disdain for customer satisfaction I HAVE TO say...

FORD is AWESOME!
