  1. MPG in the cold

    2-3 MPG loss here in NH. Between winter fuel, engine cold, heated seats/wheel using electricity causing less electric miles.
  2. Powerboost TSB Harsh 1-3 upshift

    Mine was good for the first few thousand miles but now that I'm at 12K it's getting to be dangerous. The weather is cold now so I'm sure that is part of the problem but even after it has been driven for a while it's clunks really hard at times. On top of that I have had it become unresponsive...
  3. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    After 12K miles I have averaged 24-25 in the summer and 22-23 in the winter, mostly back road driving with maybe 1/4 highway miles here in NH.
  4. Installed Transfer Switch in House

    I have a Rheem 50 gal hybrid electric water heater and it will run it just fine. I run heat pump only for a family of 4 and I have never run out of hot water and it only uses 2.5kWh per day. I run everything but my microwave including my well pump.
  5. Hybrid Shifting Clunkiness from Reviewers?

    I have a little over 10K on my truck and I had the same thing happen last week for the first time. It definitely gets your attention.
  6. Copilot 360 and trailer towing

    You are trying to use best case and not actual numbers. My plat payload is 1380 using the sticker on the door. Also do not use the RV rated GW or Hitch weight as they won't be even close to your actual numbers. My RV is rated 7400 LBs with a hitch of 641. My actual wight with no water in tanks...
  7. Copilot 360 and trailer towing

    Is CoPilot360 even rated for towing ? I will have it some day when Ford updates those of us that have had the prep for over a year. I thought I read some where that CoPilot360 was not intended to be used while towing. What is the length of your trailer I see two doors so I'm guessing close to...
  8. Backup Camera in rainy conditions

    My ram was just as bad as my f150 in the rain/snow.
  9. 2021 F150 tow mirrors

    I haven't found any yet and most companies say they are working on them. For now I am using a set that straps on and they work fine. https://www.etrailer.com/Towing-Mirrors/Ford/F-150/2021/KS69ZR.html?VehicleID=20215002235
  10. New travel trailer

    It does not include them in the payload sticker on your door. What they are saying is to subtract all people and cargo from the sticker on your door. The OP is WAY overweight, no 34' RV should be pulled by a 1/2 ton. One factor is the weight as the hitch weight will no doubt be over 1K and the...
  11. 3.5 eco boost towing

    I feel the same way about the pro trailer assist. I installed the box on my travel trailer, used it once and now I never connect it. I'm sure it's great for some but I feel the " hand on bottom of steering wheel" method works better IMO.
  12. 2021 PowerBoost and Towing... Terrible MPG while towing

    I had the same problem on my way from NH to FL and back. If I ran 70+ my MPG suffered and was in the 7 MPG range. If I stayed 65 or less I was at 9 or better and managed a calculated 8.9 for the entire trip. The biggest problem for me was also having to stop for fuel too often. For next year I...
  13. Rate the new Bang & Olson 18 Speaker stereo.

    I also had the B&O in my Audis5 and the F150 sounds just as good. The system in my 19 Ram was louder but the sound produced was a mess IMO. The B&O is far better at separating sounds in the music to give an overall better experience. It depends on what you are looking for in a system as others...
  14. First Long RV trip with 2021 F-150 PowerBoost

    On the scales my trailer was 6480 with my gear and has a 831 tongue weight
  15. 3.0 diesel and the PowerBoost

    Taxes, it's a way for the guberment to get more taxes as goods are shipped and the majority of diesel is used in transport. Plus the cost of producing "clean" diesel has increased the cost.
  16. 3.5 eco boost towing

    Just understand that it doesn't change your available payload. I pull a 26'11" rv that weighs 6480 with my gear and has a 831 tongue weight. Add 87 Lbs for the WDH and the weight of gear and passengers and there isn't much payload left. Also understand that you need to look at the max weight not...
  17. 2021 PowerBoost and Towing... Terrible MPG while towing

    It will use the motor when it's needed, not really a set range. If the charge is low it will start the engine also if more acceleration is needed it will start the motor. My truck is rarely on electric if I'm accelerating, more often when I'm cruising on flat ground or going downhill. When at...
  18. Aftermarket clip on extended tow mirrors

    I use these https://www.etrailer.com/Towing-Mirrors/Ford/F-150/2021/KS69ZR.html?VehicleID=20215002235 they are not perfect but have worked well. I used them on a trip from NH to FL without any problems. There is a little vibration at speed but you can still see fine. You have to angle the...
  19. Aftermarket BOV for PowerBoost?

    If you have turbo problems and they see a BOV they will deny your warranty in a second. You could try and fight it but I doubt it would be worth it. I think the BOV would go good with a wing on the back :)
  20. First Long RV trip with 2021 F-150 PowerBoost

    Yeah, I started to get a little nervous under 1/2 tank so I started looking for stations that I could fit with my RV. I had to pass on a few and get back on the highway because I wasn't able to get in and out. I ordered a 15 gallon in bed tank with a hand crank pump that I will use when we stop...
