  1. Disappointment in powerboost mpg

    I'm disappointed that it tops out at 999.9 mpg... I'm sure i could get to 1250 or so.
  2. Yelping noise while towing a trailer

    Mine makes a kind of whistle while pulling the trailer. It only happens when i let off the gas when going uphill. I believe that higher elevation also is a factor. I think it has to be the turbos. I don't know what else it would be. It's kind of a 3 part whistle... high low high... really...
  3. went to FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T4W LT255 /80 R17 from Hankook 255 /80 R17 and MPG went from 19,5 to 16

    I went from the stock tires to falken rubitreks. The tires that were on my truck were so bad that I would have to go into 4x4 so as to move in my driveway when it rains. I live in phoenix.... not much rain. Anyway, replaced them at about 12g miles. I now have put 20g on the rubitreks and...

  5. Another trip across the Rockies and back, towing in the 7.5Klb. range.

    In my limited experience... I live in the Phoenix az area, I get 20mpg in town and on the freeway. Elevation low. Last summer I spent 3 months inside yellowstone national park. Elevation between 7000 and 9000. I put about 2500 miles on my truck there. I always got 30mpg there. I know it's...
  6. Another trip across the Rockies and back, towing in the 7.5Klb. range.

    When i was in the park last year, I got 30 mpg everywhere i went. Obviously with out the trailer. I put about 1000 miles in during my stay. Does help the overall lifetime mpg. At home I get 20.
  7. Another trip across the Rockies and back, towing in the 7.5Klb. range.

    Thanks for the info. I took mine last year from AZ to Montana with no problems. Going to do it again this summer. Did you use towing mode on the highway? Mine is a little shorter, but about the same weight. I'll be in yellowstone for about 4 months this year, so it's loaded.
  8. Recommendations on a mild tread A.T. Tire that is very good in wet conditions and snow?

    I got some falken rubitreks last June. I really like them. They were great for the 4 months I was in Wyoming, and pulling the tt about 3000 miles. I haven't been in much snow though. No noise, rain good.
  9. Android Auto Connectivity Issues

    Mine is working correctly now. At least for the last 2 days. Connects right, hasn't dropped a call, works without hardwire, even works with other bt items connected. Must have got that update here?
  10. Android Auto Connectivity Issues

    In the past, i have deleted from the truckand phone and reconnected. It does help sometimes. For the last 6 months, I plug in every time I get in, but it still doesn't connect for phone if I'm connected to something else.
  11. Android Auto Connectivity Issues

    I had some issues with mine. Mostly, the problem for me was my phone being connected to other blue tooth products. When I get in my truck, it automatically turns on wifi, which is ok, but if the phone is connected to certain items by bt, it won't connect correctly to the truck. If the phone...

    I'm in the hospitality business. Fancy way to say restaurant. I own a small place and a food truck. Some days I'm a cook, a cashier, or a dishwasher.
  13. Should I consider the Powerboost?

    I have a 23 kr pb. Had it for a little over a year now, with no major problems. Just a new battery. I'm currently in yellowstone working. I pulled my trailer here from az, with no issues. Here in the high altitude, I get the best gas mileage I've ever got. I average 30mpg on any drive I...
  14. PB won’t start

    It is still good. I replaced it and i kept it. I've used it since in another vehicle. I'm thinking it was "stuck" in some type of electrical loop.
  15. How many windshields have you gone through?

    I have a2015 platinum that I went through 4 windshields in the first year. I put little plastic guard on the front of the hood and have only replaced one since. They were all ford oem glass. My new 2023 kr is a little over a year old. Never have had a issue yet. No guard on it. Never...

    I had a 15 platinum. Now have a 23 kr. For my use, They are basically the same. Except the massaging seats. My wife was the only one who used them.
  17. Powerboost Tire Recommendations

    At at 11,000 miles, I replaced the scorpions that came on my 23 kr pb. I stayed with the same size, but went with the falkon rubitrek at. They have a50,000 mile warranty. They are a good at tire, no road noise, and good for towing too. I replaced the scorpions after the 2nd time I had to go...
  18. Cheap seat protection?

    I buddy dog seat covers. They repel water, and aren't nearly as ugly as the pic looks. I put a set on the buckets, and back seats. They are cheap as well. I put a set on my wrangler too. They have held up for over a year in the arizona sun of Phoenix... better than any set I've bought in...
  19. PB won’t start

    I don't think I would need a back up battery. As soon as it was disconnected, it was ok. Although, I am going to be towing a travel trailer, which has a 12v battery that I could use if needed I suppose.
  20. PB won’t start

    Did anything at all work when you got to it? I once went to mine, the doors wouldn't even unlock. That's when I learned there's a actual key in the fob. Anyway, the battery, when hooked up was at 2 volts. I tried jumping, and charging which didn't work. It stayed at 2 regardless of what i...
