  1. Adios, it's been good but is no longer very relevant.

    I should update a bit on fuel mileage. We got the F-350 on Thursday and until today everything was city streets and I was having really bad luck with red lights. Fuel mileage was considerably worse than I would expect with the F-150 Powerboost. Today we did some highway. I did a mileage...
  2. Adios, it's been good but is no longer very relevant.

    Actually, I do haul some stuff around. Transport wood, trash, various other things at times. We have a nominal 29-foot travel trailer. The F-150 could tow it fairly well but the feel when there was a light wind was just a bit more squirrely than I thought was warranted. Mileage was pretty...
  3. Adios, it's been good but is no longer very relevant.

    Good folk on this forum with great information. This has made this a very good forum and has been much appreciated. The forum has, however, lost most of its relevance since I traded in my F-150 and got an F-350 a few days ago. Plenty of power but no Powerboost and no F-150. The problem...
  4. Can anyone get 20+mpg [updated on 23 Oct]

    Gas mileage varies quite a bit for me when it comes to city driving. Anything from 15 to 28mpg. Which gas matters, the current traffic patterns, the temperature, etc. Mostly my average in our city has been about 20mpg (and I'm not a lead-foot). In freeway driving with decent traffic and not...
  5. Is anyone missing the emergency fuel door release pry tool?

    Very shortly after I purchased my 2021 mine would not open. Got it to the dealer and they did some sort of adjustment and no problems in the several years since.
  6. Newly Designed FordPass 5.0 App®: What to Know

    I keep looking at the updated app and trying to find a reason for its existence. Seriously, I cannot find one single thing that I would actually use it for. There are a few things which others might use but not that I'm likely to ever use. After years of having the old app I'm considering...
  7. The Bluecruise, thing,

    I actually signed up for the three-year deal and Ford messed up the processing. So now they want $800 per year and IMHO it just isn't worth it. I find it all sufficiently irritating that I'm starting to look for alternatives.
  8. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    Regarding MPG? It's difficult to properly characterize since there are a lot of factors and how you drive, the conditions you drive in, etc. all tend to matter. I'm generally pretty careful about my driving. '21 King Ranch FX4 exactly as it came from the factory - I'd guess I generally get...
  9. Switching From Lightning - Powerboost Reliability?

    OK, my '21 PowerBoost King Ranch Fx4, Max Tow is relatively low miles (approaching 13K) but has done some towing of a travel trailer (about 6,600 pounds). I've had the driver-side pneumatic seat support and massage system go out and be replaced but otherwise it's been pretty trouble-free...
  10. My PowerBoost is essentially dead

    Wish I could actually be helpful but all I can say is that this sucks very badly. I don't know how your lemon law works but I'd be seriously considering pursuing that avenue.
  11. Unable to lower King Ranch Rear Seat

    Getting the back of the seat to flop forward actually isn't all that hard once you find the right projection to use. The wrench is a very helpful thing to use when it comes time to pull on it. It is kind of easy to think that the projection you want to pull will be on one side or the other of...
  12. I came home last night and told my wife "you are never, ever going to believe what I am about to say"

    Ummm. . . Everybody knows that if they give you less that they are actually giving you more. Simple. Oh, wait. . .
  13. Theft risk? Vehicle and Catalytic Converter?

    Much appreciated!
  14. Theft risk? Vehicle and Catalytic Converter?

    I don't think I have a way of preventing the tail lights other than that the area is lighted. The tailgate is somewhat less vulnerable from my perspective. In part due to Army service I prefer to park tactically (I don't back out of the driveway, I back into it). So I park with the tailgate...
  15. Blue Cruz

    Mine is updated (at the dealer) and BlueCruise works OK for me.
  16. Is this truck really a 4WD?

    Agree with the others. If you have it in 4WD? Your front and rear tires have a solid connection and that is a generally good thing if the surface you are on is low-traction but very bad if you have good traction. The problem is that no matter how well you try your tires will not have exactly...
  17. Theft risk? Vehicle and Catalytic Converter?

    That's really pretty reassuring and your responses are greatly appreciated! And I realize you are not promising anything but are simply talking odds and the most likely behaviors. I'll sleep a little better tonight.
  18. Theft risk? Vehicle and Catalytic Converter?

    I'm quite certain that the skid plates won't be a tremendous deterrent. It wouldn't really be all that difficult to take a skid plate off even if it is a cool one made by Talon Garage - it's a few bolts. But the skid plates will slow them down a little and that would be at least a little bit...
  19. Theft risk? Vehicle and Catalytic Converter?

    I have the 2021 King Ranch Fx4 PowerBoost and pretty happy with it. But I don't get to park it inside the garage and I'm wondering how hard it is to steal the vehicle or just the cat? Since it is the Fx4 I'd imagine the skid plates will be at least a minor deterrent, but probably only a mild...
  20. Fold Down Rear Seat Backs?

    I put in the same strap/release on my 2021 with B&O. Once I got back in there I figured I might as well install the thing although there's little to no benefit from doing that. You have to align the rod on the bracket properly (there are small tabs on the bracket mounted behind the seat which...
