That's because all the Powerboosts are in the shop hahahaha and the V8s are actually being driven.Saw a few major engine failure threads here and counted 8 cylinders

I wish I lived close to you, because I would snap up that used 5.0 off the lot.I have a 22 Lariat 501a with the 5.0 V8 in Carbonized Grey. Should I trade it in for a 23 Lariat 502a PB BAP? I rarely tow and do more city driving.
The transition used to drive me nuts too. Maybe it's in my head, but I swear that over time the hesitation has gone from something I noticed every time I accelerated to something that is basically non existent. I have read about the transmissions learning your driving patterns over time, so maybe that's it. Or maybe its just that I have become so used to it that I don't notice, but I am still shocked at just how smooth all the transitions are overall. The only time I still notice the gas engine coming on is if I moderately to hard accelerate from a slow rolling start. Otherwise, I rarely notice the change over. The upsides of the Powerboost far outweigh the few times I notice that there's a shift between electric and ICE. Just my two cents.I am trading my 2023 PB for a 2023 5.0L.
The PB has more power, a generator and will average about 2-3 more mpg in mixed conditions for me. I do not like the transition from electric to gas and the momentary hesitation to and from, especially at a stop.
I have noticed the same thing at 12k. When you consider all that's happening at the same time (EV-->ICE-->upshifting) then it's amazingly smooth during that transition point. No worries now.I swear that over time the hesitation has gone from something I noticed every time I accelerated to something that is basically non existent.
You learned how to drive it. There's an adjustment period to the powertrain, it's not a big deal, but typically people like to effectively operate their machines. The most annoying part of the truck, is present in all of the 10 speeds.The transition used to drive me nuts too.

Well, do we have another PB owner / convert?I have a 22 Lariat 501a with the 5.0 V8 in Carbonized Grey. Should I trade it in for a 23 Lariat 502a PB BAP? I rarely tow and do more city driving.
