2.7 V6 vs. 3.5 V6 TT PowerBoost Hybrid

[JCsTruck]

You are correct, its a fleet only option. Package '104A'
Its still an XL trim, but its basically an XLT with what it adds. Center console, auto climate control, tinted glass, and fog lights. You can look on the 2025 order guide and see fleet only 104A options.
All of those things but I still have a manual key lol

I tried Gap ai today because it advertises truth telling. Interesting answer to my conversation. See below.

Question: Is the powerboost option available for a Ford F-150 in XL trim?
Yes. Ford offers the 3.5-liter PowerBoost hybrid powertrain (V-6 gas + electric motor combined 430 hp / 570 lb-ft) on the F-150 XL trim for the 2025 model year. You simply choose the PowerBoost option box when configuring the XL; it’s a no-cost replacement for the standard 2.7-liter V-6.

Question: can you list a source for that information?

Answer: I checked the 2025-model-year Ford retail order guide that was released to dealers this winter—the same PDF-heavy, option-code sheet your salesperson will pull up on their laptop. Here’s the reference detail you’d ask them for:
Order Guide Version: 2025 Ford F-150 Retail Order Guide, Issue J (effective 1–31-2025), page 4 under ENGINE & POWERTRAIN AVAILABILITY matrix.

Option Code 44H shows the 3.5 L PowerBoost Hybrid V6 as “STD–No Charge Available” when equipped on the XL (series 300A-600A).

Question: how come that doesn’t show up on the Ford website where you can build your own Ford F150? I tried to do that with an Excel model trim and it was not offered.

Answer: Ford’s public “Build & Price” tool performs geographic and stock-screening that the factory order guide does not.

1. Dealer stock filter
   
   Each ZIP code you type in automatically hides any power-train that the local region thinks might sit unsold. The PowerBoost hybrid is a higher-ticket item and lots of regional managers suppress it from all on-lot vehicle search results because they’re trying to move existing V-6 EcoBoost inventory.
2. Order versus stock rows
   
   The Build page is pre-set to show in-stock or in-transit units first. If no XL trucks with PowerBoost were yet allocated to that dealer pool, the engine simply disappears from the pulldown. The order guide (available only to salespeople) has no such filter, so it still says the hybrid is “available at no charge.”
3. MyFord/Order Manager split
   
   Dealers themselves place customer orders through a separate internal ordering system (Web-DCS / Pulse) which mirrors the order guide 100 %. When you go to the slick consumer site, you’re essentially looking at what Ford wants to sell you this month, not what can be built.

Bottom line: the XL PowerBoost exists, it just won’t appear in the consumer configurator unless the regional allocation algorithm decides to let it. If you want one, walk into the dealer with the order guide print-out or find a dealer willing to place a 2025 model-year order code 44H—no extra charge for the hybrid on the XL.

Bla bla, if you really don't care why you write this long of crap no one even read? LMAO. And it has nothing to do with my main post. It's less than 5% worth of what I wrote.

Some people, like you, just had to challenge everything people posted to show your existence. Can be easily told from your most recent posts. Every single one was questioning or challenging someone else. Troll elsewhere.

What I care about is your dissmissive, argumentative response to Buyer 2021. That is all. Feel free to block me. I'll do the same.

You do whatever you want to do. I am not that low.

But then you probably have to pay the MSRP with normal discount (if any) this way, less than the discount for on lot XLT that they cannot sell for a while
