  1. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    22.5mpg on the drive today, cruising at 70mph most of that. Truck is all stock.
  2. Any good experiences from PowerBoost owners

    Very happy with my 23 KR PB with 5100 miles. It's been to the dealer twice but that was me trying to create a paper trail to get the lousy 12V AGM battery replaced. I received two "Stop Safely Now" messages but after a software update those disappeared and my OBDlink+ shows the 12V battery...
  3. What did you do TO your F-150 today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

    One of my aero shields got torqued somewhere along the way. Thankfully it didn't twist the body panel. Put on the "deletes" and I like the look a lot better anyway.
  4. Anti-Sway bars questions

    Another Steeda believer here! Installed it today which took longer than I expected but man that drive after was awesome. I didn't have any trouble with the exhaust heat shield on my Powerboost. Tight quarters but manageable. Where as it used to feel like I had long tail swaying around behind...
  5. Recirculation won’t stay on - keeps turning randomly off!

    Has anyone had success with aftermarket cabin air filters? I just replaced mine the other day with a standard Wix brand one, but I was intrigued by some of the charcoal ones that claim to filter out more. They can get pricey but if they work and keep me from punching the recirculation button...
  6. My Girl Got Tackled

    Better a kid than a 200lb Iowa corn-fed buck! I needed a new hood, front fender, and driver door skin. Around $8k but thankfully insurance took care of it. Hope your repair is quick and much cheaper.
  7. Windshield replacement

    Nice! I just had to have my 75th anniversary logo windshield replaced and the body shop said they couldn't find it anymore so I just have the old Ford logo now. Oh well...
  8. Anyone else have weak wipers?

    Had my hood replaced (damn deer) and after had a weak spray. Figured out the body shop had pinched the hose where it passes through the plastic trim piece. Once I got it back on its path, all was well.
  9. What did you do TO your F-150 today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

    First oil change done today on my truck at 4800 miles. Oil life was at 40% and looked great considering the truck was built on 2/14/23. (Purchased on 5/1/23) Put Mobil 1 in, reset the oil life. Next change coming at 10k. Always a satisfying day.
  10. Tire Suggestion?

    Firestone Destination A/T2 might be what you're looking for. Low rolling resistance and fairly aggressive looks, plus low weight. I put a set on a Kia Borrego we own and I've been happy with them. They're a little more squirrelly than the Michelin Defenders I replaced but they're quiet...
  11. 2023 Powerboost “stop safely now” no start

    I went into the dealer today, primarily to complain about the dozen deep sleep warnings lately, ready to demand a new 12V battery. They surprised me with the SSN module update fix and told me it should fix the deep sleep warnings as well. Here's hoping! It was my third appointment to request a...
  12. Softopper soft canopy topper installed

    I just installed a Softopper on my truck so here's the tan version. So far I've really enjoyed it and the fabric feels very durable. I'm in Iowa so I'll try and update y'all come winter since I intend to leave it up all winter. I've heard they do well in the snow. It certainly looked solid going...
  13. 2023 Powerboost “stop safely now” no start

    So after two of these events I took my truck in and the dealer updated the GWM and APIM. They confirmed a fix is on the way in Q4 and have no solution until then. My recommendation from all I've read here is invest in an OBDlink tool to monitor your HVB percentage. Never turn off your truck...
  14. 2023 Powerboost “stop safely now” no start

    Thank you to everyone for all the great information and diagnostic attempts. I had my first "Stop Safely Now" warning Thursday morning. I usually let the Eco Idle have it's 30 seconds upon arriving home but I'm pretty sure I neglected that on Wednesday evening. Truck would go into full accessory...
  15. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    I bought it May 1st and then just a few days later had to fly out and let it sit for nearly 2 months. Thanks for checking! It's no longer idle so hopefully I'll catch the next updates as they come along.
  16. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    Howdy! My last update was May 5th and the truck sat in deep sleep mode for 6 weeks after that. I'm currently showing 4.2.2.1 but haven't received anything since May 5th. Wondering if the long sleep stalled the OTAs. VIN: 1FTFW1ED6PFA86609 Thanks for your help!
  17. What do you call your truck?

    Paisano. It's a King Ranch and growing up in Texas my Dad always called the roadrunners paisanos, "countrymen". I like to think of my truck as a fellow Texan, it's Michigan birth certificate notwithstanding.
  18. 02/13/2023 - Build Week

    They say a couple days but I was impatient and reached out to them since I was going to be in Des Moines.
  19. "Deep Sleep"

    Thanks! That's good to hear. Do you know if the deep sleep will prevent the truck from receiving OTA updates? That was the other reason I wanted to keep the battery full while it's stored, aside from being ready to roll once it's time to wake it up.
