15K plus and back to having positive vibes about mine. Since the fiasco fixing the corrupted software from the unintended tailgate opening fix there's been no other issues. Still putting some pennies together and waiting for bonus reward points from my Ford Visa to show up in a couple months to do the 8 year Ford extended warranty with rental coverage just for the piece of mind.

Heat exchanger fittings look good. But every time I park it and see the water coming out of the muffler weephole it gives me a very paranoid feeling.

I dislike all the recalls I’ve gotten the first 2 years of ownership, but that is not PowerBoost specific. Wish I understood the tow package differences better because I tow a boat and assumed all PowerBoost were rated at least 11,000lbs. I went with Tow Tech package for Trailer Backup Assist

I have 22k miles and drives like a dream.. The one issue I have had was.. Loud crackling noise from the speakers one time that stopped after a few minutes..
The smooth ride, the deep reserve of power available, BC.. Ability to work out of my truck with the AC on and the engine off, I don't think any other truck comes remotely close to a PB!

Nope. Better on gas than any F-150 I've ever owned, awesome when I don't have to burn fuel when I'm stuck at a railroad crossing with the air conditioner on, and the ability to run things off of the 7.2 KW generator is a massive plus.

Totally agree. Coming off an 2011EB and a 2015EB, the PBs MPG is blowing away the previous trucks.
Drive to the lake Friday and purposely reset the trip odo and got 22.8mpg. If I ever saw 18mpg in the previous trucks it was because I was going downhill and Jesus was pushing me with 100mile an hour winds.
I sold my Gennie and cleared that space up and have used the truck Gennie twice.
If EBs were dramatically different from 5.0 in gas I would buy that, but their numbers suck, esp for a "Eco" boost

Eh, it's clear that it's completely made up. Even lean burn, baby'n it in 4 cylinder mode won't best the PB.

Which was my point

22.5mpg? Do you have oversized tires? 4x2?
Both mine were Plats with 20s.
I got truly piss poor mileage, even adding a better flowing Banks Cold Air intake didn't help.
Pathetic all the time.
Gratz onn getting great miles, no sarcasm at, srsly. You're thee only person I know that saw +20mpg.

 

[JJSnell]

Nice. That even beats the advertised estimated MPG of 18/23.
I thought for sure I'd see better dropping the steel bodied '11 for the alum bodied '15, but nope, still crap.
I did all the tricks, tonneau cover, lighter tires, etc. Still crap.
My bros '18 Lariat gets 18.5 he says, he has tires a TAD bigger than stock.

I Love My Hybrid but….
I truly believe that the dealership repair mechanics have not been fully trained.
I am into18 months but 7 weeks of repairs!
Transmission bangs, absolutely no movement upon acceleration, air conditioning problems, stereo black screens and shrieking noise that hurts my hearing, generator failures, Poor Mileage, sunroof trim falling out, side view mirrors stuck when closed, lane guidance that randomly bounces from left to right…. And more.
Recently when they replaced the ac compressor, they had to remove the steering box and they found the gears were worn out at 12,000.
The dealership sent a specialist in and temporarily fixed the transmission issue. Check engine light on….
I could love my purchase more but these are hard issues!
