2021 vs 2022 Powerboost

[TheGoatman]

After thinking about it more the iwe isn't the difference maker. It would show a drop on all 4x4 engine models if that were they case. The Powerboost is the only one that is lower for 2022

Did they all lose it besides the tremor?

I don't know yet if it's just the Powerboost, but when my 2021 Powerboost arrived and I noticed the E-IWE, I felt that the driving force behind that fit the EV nature of the Powerboost because of vacuum necessity of the legacy IWE. Vacuum IS an issue for EV.

But obviously my impression was wrong and ironically the trucks that have traditional sources for vacuum assisted mechanical devices are now equipped with the E-IWE, yet the truck WITH EV capabilities just has no IWE at all.

I can't be definitive about the exact hit on EPA a permanently locked front hub is, but it's not zero.

 

[Who are you]

I think you are correct in that it has to affect mpg somehow I just can't tell exactly how much by the ratings. When I get some extra time I will look more into the unadjusted values for all 150's and see what the differences are, if any have been recorded. The epa doesn't test every model every year and rely on self reporting from manufacturers. So I would guess Ford likely carried over values from the previous year on those without additional changes.

As far as the Tremor goes, a 2022 from the Ford site only is available with an Ecoboost so no change to mpg.

Powerboost models were the only ones that showed the change

It'd be cool if someone other than a Powerboost or a Tremor could report whether their 4WD truck has

IWE (you'll have a vacuum line)

E-IWE (you'll have that stepper motor and a vent tube that looks like a vacuum line but isn't

No IWE (no wire harness or vacuum line)

I don't think Ford is putting the traditional Ford IWE on any of the F150's now.
But it's unclear if the Powerboost is the only IWE-delete F150.

The 2022 model is much, much faster.

(I'll see myself out now)

Proof?

Similar to "The Star White trucks are the quickest"

IWE = ?

Integrated Wheel End

Official Ford terminology for an auto-locking hub rather than a manual locking hub.

Just picked up my 22 PB and it has the EIWE on it. I thought the 22’s didn’t have that?

Now, now, now, we all know the Antimatter Blue trucks are the fastest.

Well that's interesting.
That would indicate that it is NOT a model year decision. It must be a supply decision?

I'm the fella with the 21 Platinum with E-IWE, and now a 22 KingRanch with no IWE.
