This is hilarious, however also my next thought is that this idea has potential. Think about the stuff you have at home that makes it possible:
1. Consistent power source
2. Constant internet connection
3. Proximity to a Bluetooth phone.
We have to solve for this in our trucks. So to...
The Powerboost's cooling circuit is pretty complex and it all ties into managing cooling for the HV battery pack if I recall correctly. I don't blame people for not wanting to mess with that.
My 2021 transmission is clunky as hell. If you did this I would be very interested in your results. I'm not aware of anyone who's willing to mess with the 10r80 hybrid transmission vs the regular ICE one.
I'm really late to the conversation, but my Feb build 2021 XLT is about to roll over 70k miles. Still love this truck.
My experience has been that the haters come out of the woodwork on forums and on Facebook. As is tradition. V8 guys especially seem to have a real problem with...
Honestly I was having the same thoughts and would absolutely want to hire a professional to do this, I have no business rebuilding a hybrid transmission. The problem is...is there anybody, or any company willing to do a rebuild on the hybrid transmissions?
Otherwise I wonder if it would be...
I replaced my factory battery about 3 months ago with an H7 Interstate, resolved a few creeping issues. The factory batteries do not seem to be good quality.
Bite the bullet with the Mongoose. There's a good reason it's so expensive. This isn't like a PC where throw in a hacked driver and if something breaks then you can roll it back. There was more than one member of these forums in the early days that bricked some very important modules using...
67500 miles on my 21. Hybrid drive was replaced at 5k miles, it’s been a great truck ever since.
OP I think you got a lemon. I understand how angry you are, and don’t blame you for such a bad experience. I think it would be a lot better if Ford Dealerships had great customer support, however...
Thank you for sharing that. Honestly this document should be pinned somewhere important. I've saved it on my cloud drive for future reference in case I ever need to do the same thing.
Look I know this is an emotional topic for you but I’ve been on these forums since this first truck rolled out. And you know the least amount of issues I see posted is the 2.7 and 5.0, they are solid. Both have wet belts. Those who buy them love them. Ford isn’t perfect but they build great...
For those reading this thread, he's referring to this:
That noise I'm almost certain is the regenerative braking activating the electric motor, which is wedged between both the transmission and the combustion engine. You're not going to notice this while driving. My truck makes that noise...
1. I'm a fat fuck, the cloth seats are great for me. Can't speak for the fancy platinum seats but I've never heard anyone complain about them. To be fair, the new Tundra seats are already cracking at their base...as for me, Ford knows who buys their trucks lol. My seat has held up fine. His...
Could not agree more. I think the biggest concern with this truck is the transmission (I had mine replaced at 5000 miles). That said, the hybrid/electric components of the truck really do reduce wear and tear. My brakes at 65,000 miles are no where near needing maintenance. Lots of starts...
Please continue to speak for yourself. Plenty of us with PBs love our truck.
And don't worry, there's a far less than a 3.5% chance your truck will literally blow up despite the poorly researched, obviously sensationalist news article you posted suggests.
The entire underlying study that this news article is based on is super suspect. The study in question is based off this AutoinsuranceEZ blog:

I found this blog's conclusions to be very questionable because they do not link any...
I want to know where that picture of "statistics" that you posted actually came from. Millions of Hybrids have been released of various quality since it's been a thing. Does this include the Nissan Leaf? Chevy Volt? Etc. I assure you that if 3.5% of every Powerboost F-150 was sold since...
My first mod was buying the first gen version of one of those kits, the truck has not sounded like a UPS truck when I back up for about 3 years now. I feel like I see more PBs that don't have the UFO sound passing by than I do with it...I wonder how many kits have been sold over the years...
