Regrets?

[powerboost_21]

Absolutely zero regrets....I even like the F150 PB so much.... that I ordered another PB for the wife, that just arrived on Friday...a Leadfoot Lariat to go with the Rapid Red XLT 302A.

Now how does one get two PB’s parked in the same driveway, BOTH as sweet as can be. Your one lucky couple! Enjoy.

You're in an ideal position to get a Lightning – I think that's the perfect partner to the PB.

Lots of Hard work with Blood, sweat and tears. Also, helps to have done really well on stock investments this past year.

That is kind of the plan….in 2yrs my 302a lease will be up and will look upgrading and getting a lightening for the wife. Then I take over the PB lariat for work.

I have a similar plan for driving the Powerboost until the Lightning arrives. But I'm starting to think, after having a Powerboost for 6 months, that I might just knuckle down and keep the Powerboost for towing and the Lightning for all other uses. I underestimated how much I was going to enjoy the Powerboost. It's exceeded my expectations considerably.
Ford upscaled the F150 in 2021 way more than I gave them credit for.

700 miles on mine. I’m so happy with it. First pickup second ford (Had a POS 98 taurus during my lost years). I was gonna wait for the hybrid tundra as I already own a 4runner but I can’t get behind the styling and wasn’t willing to overpay for a TRD pro.

I had a maintenance required alarm come on the first time I used the transfer case, and had to get a bad clutch sensor replaced, but I get that a new and very tech heavy platform is going to have some bugs to be worked out.

? Mine is still starting.... Maybe the issue was in the drive unit. I do wish there was a larger battery option. I'd give up some load carrying for additional electric driving capacity.

I'm referring to the ones that can be added by update: The SYNC 4 updates that the majority of us are still waiting for, the added function of the rear cameras at speed, the turning on of BlueCruise for those, unlike me, that ordered their trucks with the prep kits, etc.

Obviously added features that require different hardware to function cannot be turned on by an OTA update.

You're right, those things should have been OTA'd by now. I ordered my truck in February specifically for the Blue Cruise and here it is December and I'm still waiting. And I'm just one of thousands or maybe millions that are pissed about it. I feel it was just a bait and switch sales gimmick and I never thought a big outfit like Ford would pull something so bush league.

0 regrets and I have had no issues with my truck what so ever. I did have the windshield re-seal done due to re-call but it was not giving me any issue.

What was the windshield recall about?

Thanks

Regrets? I've had a few . . .
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do . . .
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each chartered course . . .
Each careful step along the byway.
But more, much more than this . . .
I did it my way!!

Early builds before Jan I believe had to have the window caulking re-done due to a lack of sticking well enough.

Well, I have to admit I DO have regrets. I needed a truck to pull a camper and the Powerboost looked like a perfect choice. The power, styling and towing capacity won me over and we bought it the day we saw it, back in October. Since then, I got a message from Ford Pass that the pre-collision assist was not available and there was a problem with the anti-lock brakes system. I was WAY out of town when the Check Engine, Powertrain Problem and Stop Safely lights came on and the truck wouldn't let me take it out of park or start the engine. 30 minutes later, I was able to start it, but the Check Engine light remained on. Next day? No warning lights, so I drove it back home, 13.5 hours away. The engine light came on after that and I took it back to the dealership an hour away. They called a day later to say they fixed it with an update to the electrical components and I headed back home, but I wasn't 2 miles away when the Check Engine and Drive Train System Problem warning lights came on. Ford Pass said again that it was a high voltage system problem and a fault in the engine system. A few days later, that locked-in-Park scenario repeated itself. Once I was able to start it, I took it BACK to the dealership and left it on the 14th of January and they still have it (now the 31st) and there is no end in sight. As Ford is paying for the rental car, my insurance said they would not pay for Loss of Use in case of a bad accident, so I have been paying $26 a day for the rental insurance and that is rolling up quite a bill. We had a Ford van for my wife's dog grooming van and a cousin had a great Ford hybrid years ago, so I naively thought I was OK in buying this truck. I hope things eventually work out, but I'm keeping options open for another brand if not.

UPDATE: I got it back from the dealership after 27 days, waiting on the new wiring harness from the battery to the motor. Since then, I have had no warning lights or error messages.

I'm regretting a little going with the Lariat 502 optioned up as opposed to the platty. I think the Delta is around $2500. It seems like when you load up a trim level pretty well, you get to the point where it's smarter to just go to the next one.

My money would get me painted bumper, 20" wheels, and nicer leather.

The benefit of the Lariat (besides $) is increased payload and no chrome tailgate trim (subjective obviously)
