  1. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    I'm averaging 20.5 mpg over the 45,000 miles I've owned and driven the truck. I recently had the opportunity to spend some time driving 10-15 mile stretches at 40-45 mph accumulating a bit over 200 miles at mostly those speeds and averaged 25 mpg. One 30 mile trip at the end driving normal...
  2. SAFETY RECALL 23S65 / NHTSA RECALL 23V896 -- 2021-2023 F-150 with Trailer Tow Max Duty Package (Wheel End Hub Bolt Issue)

    Could it be that, if they were included, any sitting on dealer lots couldn't be sold because of the recall so Ford will add them at a later date?
  3. MY 2025 F-150 Order Banks open in August

    2021 to 2022 model year, Ford dropped a lot of comfort features, reducing their cost while increasing the truck cost. I wonder if the trend will continue going from 2024 to 2025 model year and, if so, what they will do to gain their year-over-year production cost savings this time around.
  4. First camper stupid questions

    I would argue that those are some pretty smart questions for a first time camper tower. You don't know what your don't know until you start asking questions and you are getting pretty good advice from some of these folks. I have a similar size camper that I'm towing behind my Lariat...
  5. About to purchase 23' PB Platinum with under 10K miles...

    Wow....just walked through this six page novel. Really sorry for your loss...of time and energy dealing with this truck and that dealership.
  6. Recent Cruise Control "update" is a safety hazard - how do you submit feedback to Ford?

    Some folks address it by hanging a couple pound ankle weight on the wheel to provide the pressure it is looking for.
  7. Newly Designed FordPass 5.0 App®: What to Know

    I tried it and am also disappointed with it. If I am forced to move to Fordpass 5, the app will be coming off my phone and I'll live without it. I could be wrong, but my guess is that the inspiration for the change wasn't to make the app better but to make the app cheaper to maintain. With as...
  8. Ford - undo whatever you did in that last update.

    Wonder where Ford finds their software engineers...
  9. Poll: Powerboost Fuel Efficiency

    IF I remember right, Ford eliminated the IWE in '22 for Powerboost...
  10. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    I have no doubt that yours and many others can and do make the numbers and I also have no doubts that mine and many others can't and won't make the numbers during normal commutes and it is the result of normal distribution of mechanical and electrical performance characteristic of the vehicles...
  11. Poll: Powerboost Fuel Efficiency

    I probably should have expanded the poll to differentiate 2WD vehicle from 4WD vehicles.
  12. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    Not complaining, just stating the fact that it doesn't get the rated fuel mileage. I really can't say that I expected it to given the Max Tow, FX4, large towing mirrors, and other 502A niceties (although there are Platinum trim levels that do make the rated mileage). I've been driving it for...
  13. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    Not just winter, I have all fuel data since I took delivery of the truck in June of '22, 40,000 miles worth, and it is pretty consistent; with my cumulative average over the 40,000 miles being 18.6 mpg. I've consumed 2145.5 gallons of fuel over 40033 miles of which less than 2000 miles is...
  14. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    Pure stock, no lift, no level, no tune and only aftermarket are OEM wheel well liners, OEM mud flaps, Folding tonneau cover, and hood deflector. Factory wheels and Michelin LTX M/S which are 7# lighter than the Pirelli Scorpion AT that it came with.
  15. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    Here is my most recent data: Mar 22, 2024 My previous 2019 3.5 EB averaged 18.5-19MPG until I hit 50K miles when it dropped to 16.5 and I got rid of it.
  16. Poll: Powerboost Fuel Efficiency

    Thought it would be interesting to see what these hybrid trucks are getting for fuel mileage in real world.
  17. PowerBoost MPG - WTH??

    Not at all true. I can do a fillup and head out on a 300 mile round trip at 55 mph with occasional slowing to 30 mph going through rural towns and cruise control on 95% of the way and see 20 mpg at the end of the trip. I'm talking flat farm country, too, so there is no turboboost in any of the...
  18. How Long Do You Plan to Keep Your PowerBoost?

    I get about 0.5 miles electric driving at best from mine. I believe the reason that there are so many of us who are getting only 20 mpg out of their hybrid trucks is that the hybrid batteries are in as poor of condition as a lot of the 12V batteries the trucks come with. I suspect Ford is...
  19. Another broken Axle bolt

    Since Ford has announced a recall, discussions have died down on make-shift DIY solutions. We are all waiting for Ford to disclose what their final recall solution is going to be.
  20. 2023 F150 Powerboost and Long List of Issues

    Oh no; now you've gone and done it! Those Ford gremlins were just waiting for you to say that.
