8/2 Build Week

[someday]

*looks out the window to the truck in the driveway with his 'FX4' sticker on the back, then to the 'Powerboost' badge on the door, then opens his empty wallet, stares. and sighs*

I had the dealer remove the FX4 stickers so it doesn't hurt so bad.

Poorredman has (for the moment) cleared out the 'Built & More' list, bringing home a (Smoked Quartz?) Supercrew from Granger. You may be poor in name, but you are now rich in truck, sir!

So now it's only Limbo... Pixie and segev2110 waiting and waiting. I sincerely hope your luck improves soon. And same for CBaka27, who has suffered the maddening mishap detailed above.

Now, I go to ponder... to level, or not to level?

I am hoping that Pixie is just last in the 8/2 line and will be updated any day now - not lost and forgotten about in a dark corner….winter is coming ?

Hang in there for Pixie! I hung in there for Bruiser, and we just had a good day transporting dogs for animal rescue, and it really was great driving 600 miles in a new, reliable truck that was built to my specs and preferences. If you've decided 'Pixie' is the truck for you, I'd say don't compromise and buy off the lot now, your turn has GOT to be coming soon!

Hope you and Segev get good movement this week!

On a side note, I seem to be getting much worse mileage than others have reported. I'm not an aggressive driver, rather the opposite, and I've been going out of my way to try to drive gently to juice the mileage, but in a mix of highway and town driving (3/4 highway), I'm getting an average of 19.5mpg. I never expected to regularly see the advertised Powerboost '24', but under 20 is worse than I was expecting. Are other folks with Powerboost seeing similarly? Winter-blend gas woes, perhaps?

My PB mileage got crushed in the winter - mainly due to engine having to warm up itself + batteries.

Also mileage tends to get better as you break in, but over 70mph, it starts to tank.

I expect this on my PB, my GMC Canyon while 21.9 mpg over 62K miles was always 2 ish mpg less in the winter and it was kept in a heated garage

On powerboost, it's actually best to accelerate briskly as long as you're not using turbo boost. That will allow you to spend less time in hybrid/gas mode and charge the battery faster. Obviously you still have to be smooth on brakes to fully capture with regen, but alot here say mpg is worse in eco mode since it encourages taking time to get up to speed.

I regularly get over 30mpg in mine headed to work in the morning when traffic is light. The last few weeks its been in the ~40F's when I leave for work and I havent seen a drop yet.

Right now im sitting around 23mpg lifetime with close to 2000 miles.

 

[catfishkid1986]

My first tank i seen the same as you, an average if 19.5. Second tank was up to 21.7, both all in normal mode, couple of sport runs too. This is y 3rd tank and I've driven almost fully in eco mode, and I'm seeing 21.7, and it has been really cold a few mornings, below 30. The trip I just made is 22.5. I have only seen above 24 on 2 or 3 trips.

I have started using the fuel economy screen in cluster on interstate trips, and I am shocked that it will droptobelow 10 for slight inclines on the interstate, and if boost kicks in, it drops below 5 sometimes. Wouldn't have expected that especially unloaded.

 

[F150_steve22]

Around town, I have averaged roughly 25 to 26 MPG on my Powerboost. On the highway, as I just took a long trip in which I averaged about 77mph, I got around 22 I believe.

I appreciate you keeping in the list here but not too much to report for me. The 12/31 eta did update to 12/14 eta the other day but still in production status. I’m considering another truck built 11/14 and arriving first week of December. I’ll keep you updated ?

That’s good you got an update! Tracker hasn’t worked for me in days? The tracker in this forum still shows in production with end date 12/31 but the official ford one looks like this….

Actually the update shows up on every tracker but this one. The Ford one hasn’t been working for a about a week or so and it’s a widespread thing apparently.

im in a similar boat. My best MPG for a whole tank has been about 19mpg. Ive been trying to play to the key points of good fuel economy but even then, on a short trip, may not get above 21mpg. colder weather definitely hurts but I was expecting better mpg as well.

Yeah the fuel economy is extremely disappointing
