Can a Powerboost be ordered in the STX package?

Based on the online configurator, it looks like the answer is no.

A bit surprising since you CAN get a Powerboost 7.2KW in XL fleet build.

Fantastic bargain, by the way. $43K MSRP and far from what "XL" was pre-Gen14

Now rigged a bit nicer for towing the corporate RV :

Yeah it's just another weird configuration that they don't allow for god knows what reason....

You can get the powerboost in an XL, just not with the STX package...

Oddly enough, you also cannot get the Heavy-Duty payload package with the STX...

Yea, for the HDPP build it makes most sense to add that feature first and then attempt to build it alacart as best you can.

Albeit with XLT trim being the highest available in the US, and coming up short of 302A in regards to passenger front seat being well optioned. (most of the 302A options could be selected individually on the Gen13, at least)

Amazing platform. If only the Powerboost was available. RV towing nirvana

If you need portable power for your worksites the powerboost is a fantastic option and like shown above has a lot more payload for towing/hauling. Really surprised it hasn't taken off even more for that.
But of course most of us are buying them for personal use as well as towing/hauling/working.

That corporate fleet Powerboost above was snatched from a fleet of new Powerboost trucks for a major city in Texas. The fleet salesman we deal with said they can't get enough of them to fill all the requests from municipalities.

You just might not notice a bland white city truck as a Powerboost. But I think there are probably more than we realize.

Ford dropping the 3.5 Ecoboost from the 2023 F150 Limited and making the Powerboost standard in it is interesting. I'm not claiming to be able to read between the lines any better than anyone else, but the Powerboost has surpassed Ford's imagined success by a considerable margin. It's certainly not niche.
