  1. HELP: "Stop Safely Now" message?

    For the record, I experienced this issue 2 times in a short period of time. It was about the 3 month mark. It has not happened since. It started as expected after a few hours of being left alone. I have other vehicles so it was not an issue to take one of the others. Both times were at home when...
  2. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    Sorry I did not pay attention. However, the load was very light, only gas stove electronics and 2 refridgeraters, for about 2 hours so any numbers would be scewed.
  3. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    Yes it is a '23. It is stock from the factory but it is not true dual exhaust. The exhaust splits just before the rear axle.
  4. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    True, but my door is heavy and I am a weakling so it needs power to open. :)
  5. Powerboost questions

    Mike, my experience living in metro Atlanta GA is as follows. I believe the climate control is on is own belt drive that is separate from the engine. The AC runs just fine all the time. It does not behave like the auto-stop engines that limit the AC when the engine is not running. Absolutely no...
  6. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    Yeah my neighbor came outside and asked how I got the garage door open. I just smiled and said I plugged it into my truck. She looked confused. :LOL::ROFLMAO:
  7. Powerboost Pro Power Onboard saves Thanksgiving.

    Getting a head start on Turkey day cooking, Turkey in the oven and sides are cooking. Then someone hit a transformer outside neighborhood so we lost power. I have a gas stove but it needs a little juice to run the electronics. After a few WTFs, I remembered I have a Powerboost. May just have to...
  8. Switching From Lightning - Powerboost Reliability?

    I have a '23 loaded FX4 PB. No real issues in 8 months. Avg 21 daily driving consisting of 15 miles each direction which includes a short section of 70MPH freeway. At 80MPH on cruise I got 20MPG over a 1000 mile trip. Like @Snakebitten said the battery allows the engine to off and the climate...
  9. 2023 Powerboost “stop safely now” no start

    Got my first "Stop Safely Now" /no start yesterday morning on My 2023 PB. I was in a hurry and couldn't deal with it so I just drove my other vehicle. I read some threads on this forum. When I got home I walked outside with key FOB in hand. Using the key FOB, I did a remote start and it started...
  10. 3 month review of my 2023 PowerBoost Lariat FX4 with BAP.

    I read the post about using a weight to go hands free more as an attempt at humor. Most of know NEVER to attach anything to the steering wheel or any place an airbag will go off. The others that don't know that are helping with Darwinism. Some people just want to be nominees for the Darwin...
  11. 3 month review of my 2023 PowerBoost Lariat FX4 with BAP.

    No I did not. I honestly forget I have an ECO mode so I forget to try it. I drove all that time in "Normal" mode.
  12. '23 PB BAP come with duals?

    For the record it is not a true dual exhaust. It is single back to the muffler then splits after the muffler. Still a nice look.
  13. 3 month review of my 2023 PowerBoost Lariat FX4 with BAP.

    Earlier 3 week review is here https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/10-first-impressions-on-my-new-2023-pb-lariat.14526/ At the 3 month mark, I can say I still love this truck. I recently had to go on an unexpected 2200 mile round trip. During this trip I got to use the "new" technology such...
  14. Update---Truck totaled. 6k miles on it. Help.

    I have a lot of experience with totaled cars. My daughter has 4 over the years and my son recently had 2. There is a difference in the legal definition of "loss value" (insurance value) and replacement value (what you can get a replacement for). the insurance cover lost value. Also, loss value...
  15. Fuel (GAS) type questions. Regular vs Premium vs Non-Ethanol its effect on MPG

    Thanks. you were just the "nerd" I was looking for. I mean that in the best way possible. :) I highly doubt it would be worth it from a $/mile aspect but there is always the emotional aspect that one will get 2 extra MPG but higher cost per mile. Not to mention the idea of engine damage...
  16. Window sticker mpg Lightning vs Powerboost

    At the time of my purchasing a '23 F-150, I was able to purchase a loaded Lariat SCrew PB for a dealer price of $70k +the taxes and fees. An F-150 Lightning is going for about $100k +taxes and fees. That is $25k to $30K more . That would make the payback like 30 years.
  17. Fuel (GAS) type questions. Regular vs Premium vs Non-Ethanol its effect on MPG

    Basically wondering if the extra cost of better gas translates to getting better MPG. For example does spending 25% more on gas give you 25% more miles per gallon. It would seem most likely not but does your MPG increase?
  18. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    While I have the FX4 pkg and non tow mirrors, I added a short antenna and tonneau (Gater H1 was the best for me). I came from a 2004 F-150 that got around 14MPG on a good day so I love the 50% increase in MPG. I also noticed on colder days, doing a remote start for about 10 minutes before...
  19. Fuel (GAS) type questions. Regular vs Premium vs Non-Ethanol its effect on MPG

    I normally just use the regular unleaded from which ever station I stop at. I never had an issue or really cared to give it second thought. That is unless the manufacturer says to use Premium, than it gets Premium. That being said Ford recommends Premium went towing but otherwise regular is...
  20. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    I have a '23 PB FX4 and driving it around on most trips I get about 21 to 22MPG(on the gauges). Yes it is still getting broken in and it is colder (seems to effect the battery) than normal here in the southeast. If I drive it aggressively, it does effect the MPG. However, being to light on the...
