SRMD, It sounds like I have about what you are looking to order. The only difference is I have the regular Tow Package. My truck is a 2022 157" 4x4 302a Powerboost with 360 cameras, Tow Package, factory Spray in Bed Liner, Bed Utility Package, 7.2kw, & Tow Mirrors. Payload on door sticker is...
I am researching the practicality of installing an Anti-Theft Kill Switch on my 2022 Powerboost. Does anyone here have any experience doing this? Or ideas?
The day will likely come when the Lightning is an overall better choice than the Powerboost. In my opinion, we ain’t there yet, & we have a long way to go.
4500 miles & 2 months in with my XLT 157” 4x4. I have averaged 26.6mpg overall with my best 500 mile tank getting 28. It is slowly going up, as it wears in.
I am exploring all options. I would like to do the 2nd remote that breaks the output off of the brake pedal. The brake must be depressed for the truck to start. I will go the OBD route if the brake output disconnect does not work out.
We recently had a local festival where thieves walked...
I am about 2 months & 4500 miles in on my bone stock 2022 XLT 157" 4 x 4. I do drive like an old man, because that is what I am. Once in a while I get a horn or a hand signal because I am driving the speed limit, no doubt holding someone up who wants to go faster. But I am getting great fuel...
I have found a faraday box for key fobs that works like a champ. It is the Vonetti Alpha Shield. The latest version is rounded off on all edges & corners, & carries comfortably in my pocket.
I did my weekly fill up yesterday. It took 17.398 gallons for 487 miles & that works out 27.99mpg. I got 87 octane regular 10% ethanol from the same pump as last week. The screen in the truck displayed 27.2mpg for the trip. I was shocked that it came in at an actual 28mpg. With that said, I...
The more I research on this, the more convoluted it becomes. The apparently reasonably knowledgeable people that I have spoken to so far tell me that it is not a simple or practical task to shut down push button start, or the starter itself, or the fuel pump on an F150 Powerboost, as a security...
The very 1st thing that I did to try to improve my vehicle security was to buy "Key Fob Faraday Pouches". The funny thing is, I can walk up to my truck with my fob in a faraday pouch, & my truck still wakes up about half the time. I initially bought 2 different types & sizes, & have now...
I am insurance poor. It would not be possible to be better insured. Why make it easy for a THIEF? Who wants to pay a higher premium for many years because you made it easier fo a Thief? I am an old Boy Scout. I much prefer to be “Always Prepared”!
This must be a much taller order than I initially thought. I just stopped by a car alarm shop & they basically told me that the Powerboost has way too much electronics in it, for them to try to mess with. They did point me to another shop that they think may be willing & able to install a...
I am interested in installing a Car Alarm/Security System in my 2022 Powerboost. I would like to find a system that would disable Push Button Start if possible, as it seems that Fob Code theft is becoming an ever increasing problem. Do any of you have advice, experience, or suggestions that...
I got 21.5mpg regularly with my 2015 157”4x4 with 3.5 eco & 3.31 rear end. It averaged 20.6 over 7 years & 230k miles when including occasional towing, hauling, & off roading.
I have a real hard time believing that Ford installs any optional equipment, to later remove it, & then give you a discount for doing so. That makes absolutely no sense. I thought that I heard every possible excuse for shipping delays when I was waiting for my truck. You have now topped the...
Well.........I drive like an old man, because I am one. I run about 65 on the expressway & for the most part take it easy around town. Another big factor is that I rarely take short trips in my truck. In my experience, it takes at least a few miles to get up to optimum operating temp &...
It is starting to come together now. My truck was delivered to the dealer with 81 miles on it. I could not understand how it could have that many miles on it when it rolled off of the car carrier.
I guess I am on another planet. I am an east coaster. Here regular gas is 87 octane & up to 10% ethanol. That is all I have run in my Powerboost so far (2800 miles). The truck is averaging 26.3mpg on the dash & hand measured, up to this point. MPG has been slowly going up with each tank of gas...
