Wise advice tripdaddy. The displays and data can make one obsess about mpg, battery usage, etc.

Thanks so much for your post. I've had my 2024 about 6 months and we haven't had the typical winter rains in my area yet. Thanks for the heads up about the hood splash back ! Now getting about the same mpg results as you. Seeing the same 3-5 mpg drop on short 5 -10 minute trips. Low/Mid...

I received promotional emails which offered a decent discount on accessory parts. Perhaps others here as well. As it turned out, I was in the market for the plastic bed liner tray (not the full drop-in). But when ordering, the website requires persons to select a Ford dealership to complete...

Thanks for the heads up, and detail, snakebitten. I checked out the oil filter access when I had my 2024 powerboost up on ramps for installing talon's tranny/cat shield. It seemed doable without a lot of equipment. Will be going first oil change in about 1 month. Also installing fumoto...

Thanks so much amschind for the heads up regarding carbon force ceramic. I am planning to do the same for my 3 month old powerboost in two weeks. Not much worry about rain this time of year in SoCal, but I still expect it to be a very long day or two days for the prep work. Then a couple...

Good one VR !

First off, my new 2024 Powerboost is running great and its super awesome to drive. Absolutely love the technology, and many thanks to the folks on this forum as I try different driving modes to maximize mpg when not enjoying the thrust. But when I crawled underneath to investigate adding a...

Many thanks Ziggy. And much thanks for youtube / facebook heads up. I did start using the fuel economy display and keeping tabs on the things that affect fuel consumption. Now on second tank, getting 22 combined avg mpg with about 40% freeway driving, about 30% battery miles. The powerboost...

Many, many thanks all. Yep, lots to learn and thats a big part of the fun. Plus, should have mentioned I have been running AC near full time, and drive in normal mode much of the time. But there is a very distinct sound when I brake or when coasting below about 20 mph. Its different than...

Still on my first tank of gas with a spanking new powerboost, and have a few observations that I hope some folks can help explain. The displayed mpg is so far poor/bad compared to sticker. 19.4 mpg with about 40% highway and 60% very short trips around town for a total of about 347 miles so...

Many, many thanks all. Thanks also Gerry for the heads up on the raptor skid plate. It believe that solution also saves a few bucks. But if the oil drain problem is solved as easily as what Josh shows in the photo above, then its hard for even the lube shops to screw that up. Heck, I...

Very much hope that the powerboost folks with Talon's skid plates can share their opinion and thoughts. I bought a powerboost F150, want to protect the cats, but my days of doing oil changes are nearing the end. The talon trans/cat guard skid plate looks like a great option - except persons...

I am really interested in the power boost for my next f150, but the power outlets have me confused. some 120v power tools have a startup power draw that is right around 2400kw or slightly more. But the 7.2 kw outlet circuit is 240v. Would these tools require some kind of voltage converter...

Thanks so much all for your ideas and thoughts. Sounds like the powerboost troubles were mostly resolved with software updates. Awesome. Nice truck pic Cooder. I like the carbonized grey and hoping that fits into my purchase. Looks like Old Glory near your fender badge. Very Cool...

I was comparing cost of ownership of 4wd XLT/302A vs Lariat with 3.5L powerboost based on DOE fuel cost calculator as personalized for obnoxious CA gas prices and 70% city style driving. Most persons here are probably familiar with this calculator, but it case not, the link is...

Thanks everyone for the education and help. Will probably pull out the rear lift blocks to lower the tailgate a smidge.

1.6” difference in cab height, but still very different from the other two height measurements

I am comparing the 2024 XLT crew cab specs with style side 5.5 bed for 2wd vs 4wd. Ground clearance is 8.5 vs 9.4“. 0.9” difference. But cab height is 75.6 vs 77.2. Open tail gate height is 32.9 vs 34.9” Seems odd that the difference in height isn’t the same, or very close to the same...

I first want to thank you Ronin for taking the time to answer my question and trying to help. If my writing style came off otherwise, I am truly sorry. I have been so anxious to upgrade into a better trim, saved up - and most importantly convinced my wife its worthwhile for trips to...

For folks that may have doubts, its a very easy check. No measurements and SAE protocols needed. Hop into a XLT or other trim with power seats and extend your left leg. Then do the same in a 2024 STX with manual seats.
