Sounds like a failing/loose cv joint to me.
(Edit: To wit, I'm not a mechanic)
Well, my truck arrived on 11/11 but I made the tough decision that it had slipped out of a comfortable financial situation for me to buy. I'm quite conservative with my finances and it just didn't pass the "smell test" for me to spend so much on a (very nice) truck anymore with current and...
Ditto with my dealership experience. They told me ~6-10mo. as an approximate time frame when I ordered and here I am at month 9 and the truck was just built. They also didn't take a deposit so I'm not really out anything. I could refuse delivery of the truck or just ghost them and they'd be...
Woohoo! My truck is now "built" (2/9 order, 10/16 blend, 10/24 built) and waiting on the local convoy to the dealer. It's only a ~20min drive between DTP and my dealer so fingers crossed it doesn't take too long.
Looks really awesome. I have a few questions:
1. Does the unit rattle around inside the dash?
2. How do you route any cables from the unit? Do you have to drill any holes? Could you post a picture from your truck?
Not without quite a bit of modification involving tearing into the truck's high voltage system, unfortunately. Probably not worth the hassle/risks. I so wish the PowerBoost were a PHEV.
BLM land is great, by the way. Take it easy out there, my friend!
To elaborate on @mnstang's comment, the engine simply charges the hybrid battery (via an alternator or using the electric motor as a generator, not sure which) which then feeds an inverter (DC->AC) that makes the correct line frequency and voltage for the outlets. Because of this disconnection...
This is my take on it. I don't think it's prudent to "justify" the PB over the 3.5EB based on a ROI from integrated fuel savings in most cases. The PB is essentially the 3.5EB plus a conventional hybrid. If you're doing a lot of highway miles it's just extra weight and it's not a plug-in either...
My 2022 Lariat MSRP has increased 3.5% since I ordered it in February. The 2023 equivalent is +6.7% without the Tow Technology package (RIP) and just the 360 camera package. Adding the Trailer Tow Package on top would bring it up +8.5%.
Honestly, the fact that the same truck is ~3k more now is what's keeping me sane! I do have A/Z plan pricing but that's only good until mid-Feb 2023. If I don't get a 2022, I might have to bail and buy something off a dealer lot (if there is anything on the lot) just to use the PIN.
Hope your...
I got the email last night that my order is scheduled for production week of 9/12. I hope it holds!
Build Info:
Atlas Blue Lariat 502a Super Crew 4x4, Powerboost, Sport Appearance, FX4, Bed Utility, Tow Technology, Pano Moon Roof, Spray-in Bedliner
Order 2/9. My only update has been the confirmation (same day as order) and the delay email a few weeks ago now.
2022 Atlas Blue Lariat 502A PowerBoost + SAP, Tow Technology, Bed Utility, FX4, Spray-in Liner, and Moonroof
Ugh, I can't believe it either :cry:. This would totally be the color of my truck if it weren't discontinued. Now, if they offer Magma Red, Eruption Green, or Dark Highland Green for MY23 Lariats, it might kill me.

My speculation is that this is either some 1-year-only special edition trim or a trail-focused F-150 Lightning. It would be crazy IMHO to attempt to fit yet another off-road package/trim between FX4, Tremor and Raptor for the gas truck.
What can I say, I'm just not a fan ?♂️. I don't hate it, but I don't want it on my truck and I don't see why it should limit my choices but here we are.
Too bad it's not easier to trade trim pieces :)
I am firmly in the anti-chrome camp and I get disappointed that above the Lariat chrome is so heavily utilized. I'll be interested in seeing the BAP on the Platinum on the road. I was quite close to ordering the Platinum + BAP but instead went...
