Is there a "free" tech manual or something like that?

I would like to read about how the PowerBoost really works. Maybe nerd out a little. Stuff like when and how it is actually using the electric motor or charging.

Yes! It comes with a free lunch.

This is very limited but might get you started with component and function identification. https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/...owroom/resources/2021_F-150_ModifierGuide.pdf

thanks.

Loved the last line of page 1-2 or page page of the PDF. "Make sure the pedestrian alert sound system is not disabled". That annoying sound may or may not last very long.

If you do disable it, make sure you are covered legally. Federal law mandates the noise as a safety device for pedestrians. Should you disable it, and a pedestrian be injured or worse, a lawyer could rake you over the coals.

Just hang your head out the window yelling "BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!" when you backup around people.

Did that right after disabling the system on mine when one of my co-workers commented about how quiet it was when I started backing out of the parking space at work...

Lots of misinformation regarding liability and the dump-truck-emulator. Removing that noise pollution neither opens one up to some magic liability, nor when connected some how provides an immunity shield.

There's zero replacement for an attentive driver, and of course, 360 cams. Just last night I was backing up in a parking lot in the mach e that is still wearing its dump-truck-emulator and someone walked directly behind my vehicle that was already backing up. It was the 360 cams that prevented me from hitting him -- I don't even recall the parking sensors registering his presence. On the way to my vehicle I passed this individual in the parking lot who was stopped playing with his electronic dog leash (cell phone). I loaded my vehicle with my goods and when backing up he decided to, while staring at his leash, walk directly behind me. Seemed quite intentional, and no, nothing was in his ears.

The only reason those devices were added to vehicles were to protect the blind (the literal blind, not figurative). Like with seatbelts, I suspect those who believe they're a magic shield from liability will be more careless in their vehicle operation resulting in more harm.
