I'm eating a little crow from an earlier post. I'd started down the road of a collateral exchange, but decided to keep my 23 Powerboost simply because I love the generator. I don't want to deal with this issue and nobody should be forced to wait for a fix from Ford. I'm using the two step method...
My 23 Powerboost had the SSN message a couple weeks ago. 3300 miles on the truck and the first issue. To be fair, it was my third Powerboost and the first two didn’t have any issues. Long story short, mine is still at the dealership and we’re working on a collateral exchange. I don’t have the...
That made me laugh out loud. You really expect the EV division to be profitable in 2025? They’re already discounting the electric vehicles because sales are dismal. The consumer and the infrastructure aren’t ready for the agenda he’s shoving down our throats. The ICE division is starting To...
I’m not a fan. He’s directing Ford down a path that’s not sustainable and also ultimately at the expense of tax payers.
EV division is losing billions, ICE vehicle prices continue to be inflated the lessen the blow by dismal EV earnings. The consumer is and will continue to pay the price.
It’s...
By no means am I defending Ford, but this is becoming a common theme with dealer service. I’ve referenced it in other threads, but the service department at the dealer has some blame here too.
They don’t have the tool to perform testing because of the 12” screen? It’s not like screens just...
A reoccurring issue on these threads is the dealer not being able to assist a customer for a delayed period of time. I would think drivability issues should take priority over an oil change. The more I read this stuff, the more questions I have.
1. Are there so many quality issues that service...
Personally, I have no desire to regularly pull 10K with a 150. I’ve owned a bunch of 150’s and 250’s. I just never felt comfortable hauling a really big load with a 150. If I was going to pull anything over 7500#’s very often, it would be hooked up to the back of a Super Duty with the Powerstroke.
Curious, but were you logged in to your Ford account when messing around with build and price? I’ve been trying to get a PCO and nothing. I even called Ford!
I’m still scratching my head. What does the blower setting have to do with charging the 12V battery? It just doesn’t make sense to me. I’m sure there is a reason and you guys are correct - I just can’t comprehend why the blower speed has anything to do with charging.
My left vent is the same way. My 23 has far less air flow from the left vent than my 22. I just adjust the center vent to blow directly on me rather than blowing towards the back seat. He older 150’s had much stronger air flow through the vents. That’s my opinion. Maybe they’ll fix it?
Something similar - I park outside about 50’ from my back door. I’m outside all the time walking around with my phone in my pocket, but not the keys. Key on the bar in the kitchen and spare in a drawer. My doors will unlock and lights will come on like I’m approaching the truck with a key in my...
I traded my Powerboost and realized how much I missed it so I ordered another! The generator and the AC while parked in electric mode are super features.
The heated steering wheel delete aggravates me. I recently ordered a loaded up XLT Powerboost and would have actually gone Lariat if I could have received one with a heated wheel. Leather seats don’t necessarily sway me. If I could’ve gone 502A with the superior headlights and the heated wheel...
I’ve owned two Powerboosts and neither had an issue. I decided to trade, regretted it and have another Powerboost on order.
I was worried about longevity and potential issues that actually never arose for me. Reading about legitimate issues for some on here scared me away. Now I’m going back...
I’m about to order another Powerboost and need some info.
I remember reading on here that the Powerboost essentially already has most of the components of Max Trailer Tow as equipped from the factory - larger axle, etc. and Max Trailer Tow isn’t needed on the PB. There has to be a few...
I can’t comment on the ”boost” part of the conversation because I’ve never watched the gauge, but I can comment on the towing comparison.
I’ve owned a bunch of F-150’s over the past several years. I’ve owned every engine in this discussion too - 3.5 EB, 3.5 PB and the 5.0. Several different...
I've never owned a Ram, but have been in the drivers seat a few newer models. I can't comment on most of the comparisons, but he's dead on about the seats. The Ram seat blows the 150 seat out of the water. In my opinion, the seat is the weak spot on the new 150's. Too small and overly bolstered...
