I rely more on carcomplaints.com as the problems are usually model year specific. I would be most concerned with problems reported by owners of 21-23 model years as I own a 22 truck.

@walnutF150
This is an old article and was challenged with screenshots that basically negated the entire article.

I know cuz Im the one that has the Consumer Reports subscription did all the research on all the complaints and screenshotted the data used for the article. (I dont know where it is but if you did a deep dive on my posts, you would find it).

Most complaints have NOTHING to do with PBoost. They are overall complaints of the truck as a whole and even some of those complaints were remedied and rectified, as per the complainants statement. If I recall correctly, one was a windshield or something that needed to be replaced and because of COVID and supply chain issues, there was no inventory so the guy rated the entire truck a 1 out of 5.....

Spent too much time doing all this to not bring it up again:

At some point during ownership of a product, the personal experience outweighs someone else's experience.

Or put another way, if the data collected represents the first 6 months of ownership reported by others, but I now have my own 24 months of personal ownership experience data, at what point do I judge the product based on my own experience?

My way of pointing out that my opinion of the F150 Powerboost is far more influenced with my THREE years of personal ownership. So someone with a Sync4 complaint 2 years ago with their F150 Powerboost doesn't move my needle much. And as Mr. JJSnell explained, that's not a Powerboost issue anyway.

.... that's not a Powerboost issue anyway.

Im limited to only THUMBing up a post once....

In this case, a site called "Ford Authority" with an author who "daydreams about having another one", is likely suspect.
Like any other statistic, 65% of them are made up on the spot.*
A failure for most statistics of "more <whatever> this year than ever" is they fail to be normalized.

That turned into a minor rant. Sorry.

let me add to Bruce s remarks
with one exception
I dont own a PB 3.5 eco, i would if it had been available when i bought the 22

i do however own a 3.5 eco and have owned many FORD trucks and CUVs
my 1988 was a 5.0 short box 5 speed
warranty work was a/c top off, rear ujoints (my fault), and idle air controll over its 3 years 4 years in my pen
my 1992 f250 2 warranty issues ac and TPS sensor and i am sure the ac was my fault
2002 f350 7.3 ONE warranty for headlight that was loose missing a screw
2006 f350 6.0 ONE warranty for hpop (high pressure oil pump)
2010 f150 2 warranty ac and one evap canister thing
2013 f150 ECO boost , warranty one pano sunroof glass, one intercooler and 3 coil on plug things
2016 exp kr el 2 warranty ac again not cold enough and a window chrome trim piece
2021 f250 6.7 one battery and one battery junction box and a small piece of trim when i bought it new
2022 eco 2 batteries, one tpms sensor so far

2008 edge...NONE
2012 edge brake booster recall thing, one rear camera

so over the long haul...i can say i have had excellent service from my fords
i generally don't give credence to these articles

And the other 52% is questionable.

Consumer Reports doesn't take in to account what the Powerboost can do that NO OTHER truck in production can do.

Admittedly I have new max Payload axles. It's the price for entry to the amazing utility this truck offers.

I'm wondering what their sample size is. I've had very few problems, and those minor. I've got enough miles on mine to have had ample opportunity for problems.
