No argument there- but sometimes when ya gotta get somewhere ya just gotta let er rip. I typically drive slow and conservative on short trips and get great mileage 23-26.

I went from the 20” Platinum BAP wheels to the 20” Ford sport wheels- which is a few pounds lighter- and the same Hankook Dynapro AT tire. When it comes to staying in EV mode longer - it’s hard to say if there is much of a difference. However I just ripped a 700 mile road trip today from...

Thanks for all the response everyone- definitely going to pass on a aftermarket CAI.

Very informative- glad I asked the community- I’ll pass on a new CAI.

Been snooping around looking for info on a CAI on a Powerboost- not seeing what I’m looking for so I will just ask everyone. Specifically- is there any payback on the investment from gains in MPG? Mostly concerned with gains on the interstate doing 75-80 mph on road trips? Finally- what’s the...

Good point.

I agree- and I have the same ARE shell as you. Looked at smartcap but couldn’t get past the mismatched paint. Call me old school.

Yikes- that’s steep. Obviously utility rates play a huge role in the value proposition of EV ownership. I guess I’m just lucky to live in a state where utility rates aren’t at nose bleed levels.

He must have super high electricity rates or a tiered billing. My car adds $30-$40 a month to my electric bill and we average around 1500 miles a month. It’s a such a no brainer.

The real benefits of EV ownership come from charging at home at $0.11 per kWh- that’s $1.10 for every 10kwh- most days we go 60-70 miles doing errands, work, kids etc. Doing so runs our EV battery down from 80% to around 60% - plug it in overnight and your back to 80% for $2.20. That’s cheap...

We’re not talking about the same thing- In my post above I was talking about the potential savings of a EREV-not a Powerboost. With a EREV you could potentially drive around for months and not use a drop of gas. Yes, you would plug it in every night- but in my state the cost of electricity per...

The point for me is that I could potentially do all my short around town errands/trips in full EV mode- which is wildly more fuel (and $) efficient- and still have the range for road trips. Yeah- it would likely cost more upfront… I get that argument. But I’d rather pay more for a cool...

If this is true- I’m all in.

I went with Eibach Protruck coil overs and love the changes it made. Here is the link to my build- https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/new-eibach-2-0-coilovers-with-wheel-and-tire-setup.29628/ What A/T tire to get is a long discussion that comes down to personal preference, so I won't get...

I see what you mean- but when I hit the test button everything checks back normal. Maybe amber on bank B doesn’t mean ground fault? Who knows- all I know is both banks operate normally for me.
