The motor “dying” all the time is a hallmark of a hybrid and what makes them good on gas. Many here complain the engine runs more than we’d like lol
By any 1:1 comparison, the F-150 is definitely faster, by at least a second in 0-60. It feeling one way or another is largely irrelevant as the feel of a vehicle can be down to a number of factors. The noise of the 6.2L almost definitely made it "feel" like more was happening. The PB trucks are faster than the Raptor, and the Raptor is faster than the 6.2L.
Lariat Powerboost is 800 lbs heavier than a 6.2 Denali actually. F150s are heavy in general and then all the hybrid stuff adds 150-200 lbs
From a quick search the Denali is 6.5s 0 to 60 and 15s in the 1/4 mile, the Powerboost is 5.3s and 13.8s respectively. You should feel 1.2s to 60mph and 1.2s in the 1/4 mile. From an experience standpoint, on different occasions I about ran over the top of a 6.2L Raptor and a new Dodge Ram 1500 5.7l Hemi that wanted to test the Powerboost. They did not have it.... My only issue is the top speed limiter.
What is it set at? I have owned several high performance cars. I just filled it with 93 and yes it bumped it up somewhat. I have watched videos of 6.2 running 14 flat @ 101 bone stock. My Denalli has an abundant amount more power above 70 mph.
I haven't driven the GM 6.2, but my last Ford 6.2 in Super Duty frame had much more Wind-up feel above 3500 RPM than my Powerboost. Its a similar feel to my old 5.0 Mustang. The Powerboost (and other ecoboost I've driven) just pull much stronger from low to mid-range and carry smoothly through top-end. You don't get that wind-up feeling, but the speedometer shows the results when you look down and see you're actually flying.
It was a 77k truck. My 2020 Denalli was a 69k truck. Paid 56k At 77k you would think there would be no windnoise through the doors at anything above 70, they advertise 24 mpg I think the only way this truck gets that is 55 mph downhill. It has a lunge or surge when pulling into my garage when electric motor kick in or out, I only have 6" room between my front bumper and the wall. My 18 speaker stereo is a total disapointment, almost 1/2 as good as my old Bose system w/ 6 speakers.,
I really do like the truck. I paid almost MSRP so resale it and I will loose $$$$. That being said, I can live with the fuel economy, the stereo, but the windnoise is something I cannot tolerate on a near 80k truck. It is very comfy as well.I'm not usually one who objects to folks posting their gripes. And honestly, I'm still not opposed to it. But it does seem a little awkward for someone to be so disenchanted with their purchase but willing to live with it. I know I wouldn't keep a product that garnered my disappointments enough to dominate my experience with it.
I have my gripes about my Powerboost. But the AMAZING amount of things I love about it far outweigh those gripes. Thus it's staying in the fleet.
The truck is simply outstanding in so many ways. It raises the bar forever for what I as a truck owner now will expect.
