I saw a notification pop up about your post. It's hard to believe its been three years since I made this thread. It's great that other people are enjoying their Powerboosts as much as we are. My dog loves the unattended AC too. Makes traveling with a pup much easier. This will be our fifth...
This is indeed a quirk that happens. I believe there is a thread in which some members have spent a significant amount of time determining the conditions under which this happens. Not sure if a solution was identified, but I just turn the truck off and then turn it back on. Is it inconvenient...
2021 Lariat PB in Colorado. 50,000 miles, 11,000 miles towing a 21ft 30 amp travel trailer; empty weight 3760lbs. I agree with just about everything you said. I don’t ever use eco mode, so I don’t know much about that. The biggest feature for us is the PPoB. Plug and play, unlimited power for...
Nice post. We’re into season 4 with our 2021 Lariat PB with the 7.2Kw inverter and 21 foot Micro Minnie. Life is good with quiet dependable power in the great outdoors! Have fun with yours!
I don’t really keep track of the PPoB gas usage anymore, because I know it is very minimal compared to a stand alone gas generator, but a couple years ago I had my trailer plugged into my PPoB for 5 days in 100 degree heat running the AC about 18 hours a day along with the rest of the trailer...
My dealer picks my truck up and drops it off for any warranty work. They did one repair at my office parking space. I’ve found this service to be great. Always a text reminder for when they are picking it up and dropping it off.
I just had this same problem except that I did not noticed any engine or transmission performance issues. Just got back from a 2200 mile trip towing a travel trailer approx. weight of 4700lbs no hot weather. The notification and Wrench would appear after about 50 miles of driving. When I turned...
As I sit on the beach, a thousand miles from home, in my TT, plugged into my Powerboost, drinking coffee, watching the sunrise, with all the power I need, I say who would not want a Powerboost.
I actually did leave it hooked up. I replaced the 30 amp fuse on the trailer frame when I got home and it works fine now. I was able to have the trailer level with the help of just a couple blocks under the rear wheels. Even at night when sleeping or just hanging out in the trailer during...
I used to keep track and with the AC running about 18 hours a day over five days in 100 degree heat, I calculated about .2 gals per hours. I did not use the AC at all this trip pretty much coffee maker and toaster every morning, microwave a couple times and hot water heater were the big draw...
Payload is 1441 lbs. My normal tongue weight when the trailer is loaded is around 600 according to my Sherline scale. I did not weigh for this trip though. The TT is a 21ft Micro Minnie 2100 BH empty weight of 3760 lbs. GVWR is 5500 lbs. I was likely pretty close as I normally get real close to...
Took the 2021 Powerboost up to the mountains for a long weekend of dispersed camping. Left the front range on Thursday morning early for Taylor Park CO to hopefully find a good spot before the other weekenders came up. Arrived and found the spot I had scouted back in June. Success! Then I went...
I’m disappointed some of you have not been able to have the same success I’ve had running my 30amp trailer with the 7.2Kw (actually two 3600w) inverter. I will say the comment about engine noise to be unfounded. We’ve camped near tent campers and I’ve asked if they heard our engine kick on at...
I realize this thread was directed at those who do not use the Pro Power On Board, but I do love the Pro Power, which is the main reason I purchased the my 2021 Lariat Powerboost. I use the 7.2Kw inverter generator (actually 2 3600w feeds) to power my travel trailer, AC coffee maker, tank...
2021 Lariat PB with the 7.2Kw ProPower and 27k miles here. My use sounds almost identical to yours. Great highway truck, short downhill commute (I can get 60mpg to work, downhill mostly and 20ish coming home). We also tow a 21ft 3760lb empty TT. Tows great but my favorite feature is the propower...
It's great to see other people getting use out of their Pro Power Onboard. It's almost camping season again here in Colorado so mine will get another season of use powering my travel trailer out in BLM land. Over the winter, aside from powering up batteries for an assortment of small power...
Great thread! 2021 Lariat PB with a Winnebago Micro Minnie 2100BH here. We’re heading into our third summer now and it has been nothing short of amazing to camp on BLM land here in CO with no power concerns. Plug and play.
