Which is quicker stock, a rcsb or a powerboost?

[Samson16]

Oh and for you PB owners, don’t forget to drive her in Sport mode now and then. She’ll run better in normal as a result imo.
Hey, you still get 5.0 mileage

I have a 2025 XL Powerboost and I put the 91-octane Livernois tune on it a couple weeks ago. I can confirm this is a very quick vehicle.
PBs are all heavy though. I went from a '23 2.7 weighing about 4,700 lbs to this '25 PB weighing 5,600 lbs.
I'd assume the 4x4 RCSB is lower 4,000s? Not sure.

My RCSB weighs 4980 with me (240lbs) in it, 22” ford performance wheels, Roush supercharger kit, bedrug, soft bed cover, about 15 pounds of sound deadening, and random tools in the bed.

Mine weighs 4500 without me in it, with no accessories or cargo added. It's a 4wd.

Hey @Snakebitten , you work at Million Air Houston? I work at MAnext, the charter ops of Million Air Dallas. Unfortunately, this is the best we've got...

@spritrider1 but it's a Ford!

Yes, technically my office is at HOU.
But rarely should you find me tied to it. I'm more a nomad.
Afterall, the office has been mobile now for years. (long before Covid revealed it could be)

Nice to meet ya.

Likewise. Unfortunately I’m tied to a desk & chair at our KADS MX hangar. I’d love to keep the miles off my 21 PB, but alas, my physical attendance is required. Someone has to remind the techs ‘righty-tighty, lefty-loosey’.

In the three years of having my PB, I think ive ran sport mode like 10 times.......its sad I know!

The truck just pulls so well in normal that most of the time I forget sport mode is even a thing. I really need to bite the bullet and just buy the Livernois Tune with E-Boost but alas I am frugal and waiting for a discount lolol

I assume its a PB thing, since I have never had that light on in my 5.0, but what does the "READY" light indicate?

I should know this since I have a PowerBoost, but I believe that indicates the vehicle is ready to go, as in engine on/ready to move forward when accelerator is pressed, even though engine may not technically be on since its running battery-only mode.

The green Ready is the EV industry method of notification to the driver that the vehicle is "running", since there's no noise indication from an absent or silent ICE.

Interesting, thanks yall!

This is a much more elegant way of stating what I meant!

I don't know about that. I only know that while I was typing, you were already answering the question. I was too lazy to retract my echo.
