I miss Blackout150

When did you change your oil the first time? I've heard 1000 miles to break it in and then put in the good synthetic. I've got 650 miles on mine now (averging 200 miles a month). I don't know if I am ever going to break it in or burn through the tank of gas. I'm averaging electric miles 33% of the time. It is absolutely remarkable. I'm still trying to get used to the power. I've never had 430 hp before and it's a little daunting. I bet if you wanted to do a burnout, you could roast those Hankooks to the wheels. LOL. But I don't get in it too much, the gas in Colorado is still expensive and I bet filling that beast up will cost real money.

The windshield washer still doesn't work. I'll get it fixed before August when it rains next time.

I have had the same question. At first I thought I would change the oil at 3K but that happened on a road trip. Just last week I noticed the dealer had put a window sticker on the windshield with oil change due at 5K. Pretty observant of me to not notice a sticker on the windshield for nearly 4 months! Too much time looking at the gages and screen playing with things. I will do the first oil change at 5K.
I'm pretty enamored with the bluecruise, its been flawless on my trips up and down I94 and I35.
As the weather has warmed I see my mileage creeping up and electric driving increasing. In town driving is now 30-50 of in town miles depending on how many hills on my route.
All in all this truck gets 10 thumbs up from me.

I did at 1000 and then at 5000. Wil be doing every 5000 from here on out. That is great average for electric miles. Just towed last weekend and got 9.9- 11.2 mpg which is an improvement from my 2013. It has tons of power. Filling it in cali is about $130 for regular when it’s empty. Forgot to take pics. Will on my next trip which is memorial weekend.

I've seen the same thing with the weather warming up here in Michigan. Switches over to electric more often, and stays there way longer than earlier this spring.
First camping trip is next weekend. I'm curious to see how much of a learning curve backing up will be - going from my little short Sport Trac, to the long wheelbase. I was getting pretty good with the old truck. I've only been backing up a camper for about 5 years. Also looking forward to trying Pro trailer backup assist. I've heard some still are more comfortable using their mirrors.

Still haven’t done my trailer assist yet. Went camping a couple weeks ago and just used mirrors. Old dog. Mileage has increased by a few miles per gallon but it is pretty warm here. Bigger truck should be a little easier to back up and you are going to love pro power. My trailer batteries went out first night camping and used it for the rest of the trip. Barely used any gas and powered everything. Really a great option. Towed like a dream. Going to Tahoe in a couple weeks so I will try and get some pics!

I filled up my truck for the first time on Thursday. I called my financial advisor to see if I had that kind of money . Gas is expensive in Colorado (nothing like California though ). I haven't had a vehicle with a 30 gallon tank before and to see that cost was kind of shocking. I'm glad I'm a 25% electric guy. Whew.

Good thing you have the PB. Non PBs can get the 36 gal tank!.

$24 more? Out here that's a possible $144. If I had that kind of capacity the gas would get old before I run it out. 36 gallons - that's funny. But, some of y'all drive to work everyday and probably drain a tank of gas before it gets old.

Mileage check: 759

I have installed the stone grey f150 letters on the tailgate and changed the license plate lights to LEDs. The letters look black from most angles, but there are some that show the color.

What a difference in light color between the stocks and LEDs though. They now are very close to the light on the tailgate.

I do not see any other changes in its future.

Overall I am still pleased with my truck and I am happy that I went the PB route.

10K miles. Going great. No snow ?!!!

 

[PPEng15]

Only 3711 miles as I split my miles between mine and the wife's since she works from home full-time. A little over 200 all electric, 20.2 mpg overall (trip computer)

Close to 10k miles. Love the truck! Keep forgetting to take a picture with trailer. Tows great. Next trip is end of July at the beach will try and get pics. Miss all the talk and hope you guys are doing well!

10k miles, wow! I'm glad you're doing good.

No snow down here at 6600 ft. Pikes Peak got 10 inches at the summit the other day.

I'm glad you're driving that truck. I'm jealous. I don't get to drive nearly as much as I used too. We take my wife's car when we go places together.

I bet the pro power is great with the trailer. No generator droning in the background anymore?

Miss the talk too!

Snow ??? We are planning a motorcycle ride down to Pagosa Springs this fall stopping at Pikes Peak. Snow.... Maybe skip the peak. LOL
