  1. Any good experiences from PowerBoost owners

    I have a 2021 King Ranch PB coming up on 3 years and 51,000 miles. All options, essentially zero issues. High speed highway, towing, gravel roads, snowstorms you name it it just works.
  2. F-150 hybrid (powerboost) gets named 3rd lowest in reliability score for 2024 in kbb article

    Good point thank you I was wondering about that and I probably should monitor.
  3. F-150 hybrid (powerboost) gets named 3rd lowest in reliability score for 2024 in kbb article

    Yes I know. It’s a Powerboost but the motor/battery are dead weight at these speeds. Diamondback tonneau cover, Michelin LTX tires at 38 psi. 4x4 max tow. FX4. Not drafting. No A/C until end, perfect 55 degF. 91 octane. Light load. ??
  4. F-150 hybrid (powerboost) gets named 3rd lowest in reliability score for 2024 in kbb article

    Turns out I hadn’t reset my trip odometer for the last leg after fuel see attached picture. This is on I-10 east of Tucson. Quite a bit of traffic. Anyway 23.3 MPG at 71.2 average MPH. Not sure I’ve ever seen that high mpg at that speed. Also I attach my trip odometer since I picked up the...
  5. F-150 hybrid (powerboost) gets named 3rd lowest in reliability score for 2024 in kbb article

    Yes I agree, seemed high to me too. Lost about 7000 feet in altitude and must of had a tailwind most of the time. Ideal conditions. Premium gas light load. Gaining 7000 feet with a headwind I’d be lucky to get 18-19 mpg.
  6. F-150 hybrid (powerboost) gets named 3rd lowest in reliability score for 2024 in kbb article

    It’s funny, I’m coming up on 50,000 miles in 2 years on my 21 King Ranch PB with essentially zero issues. Today I drove 600 miles in about 7.5 hours averaging 23 mpg. I started with the truck totally cold soaked at 15 degF windshield completely iced over. Within 10 miles the seat and steering...
  7. Show us what your F-150 tows

    Trailex sports car trailer.
  8. Why I Change My Own Oil

    I’ve done about 10 oil changes in 45,000 miles in my 21 Powerboost. I use a factory or Mobil 1 filter with Mobil 1 5W-30. I enter the service in Ford Pass and attach photo of the process with mileage. Why do I do it? Usually the dealer quick lube will over tighten the filter and spill oil all...
  9. List your 2021 F-150 issues

    Thanks for posting this. After 45,000 trouble free miles in my 21 PB KR today the drivers window auto up would go all the way up then down 2 inches it also did not go all the way down on auto. This procedure fixed it. Seem to happen out of the blue.
  10. New F150 3.5 engine

    That’s interesting. Like others, I’d want to eliminate a gas issue. Possibly you got a bad tank with H2O? I’d go to a reputable gas station fill with premium and add 20 oz. of Techron. See if that clears it up. For what it’s worth I only run premium when towing and engine runs good on regular...
  11. Powerboost reliability.

    OK let’s clear one thing up, it’s quantum mechanics, not quantam mathematics, which doesn’t exist. 45,000 miles 28 months on my PB not one significant issue. I regularly tow 7000 lbs loaded with no issues. 900 miles a day in the king ranch is almost effortless. Something tells me I’m in the vast...
  12. Ford CEO: 2024 F-150 refresh to have 2400 fewer parts

    I think it was 25 years ago I decided I’ll buy F-150’s but not F stock. For the most part it’s been a good decision.
  13. Buyer's remorse

    Granted, but I sympathize with the OP and happy my 2021 came equipped correctly from the factory (I.e no deleted features). Not really interested in $78K “project” new trucks! Maybe the age of desirable new vehicles is officially over?
  14. Did 2400 miles on the East Coast, Tomorrow 2400 miles to Montana...

    Good luck and keep the reports coming! Pour-over coffee on the console you sir are my hero!
  15. Having second thoughts….should I cancel my order?

    Maybe already mentioned but the “pedal vibration” or “rough idle” only occurs in my PB if I’m stopped at a light and only applying light brake pressure. Firm up the pressure and everything is smooth and quiet. I’ve always thought there is some brake fluid pressure threshold that when exceeded...
  16. Towing a TT one time

    Should not be a problem whatsoever. I tow ~5500 lbs enclosed car trailer easily usually 75 mph and get 10-13 MPG. 550 miles in 8 hours clock time, one stop. At 55 mph you do even better. Have 21 PB with max tow FX4 king ranch etc.
  17. 2022 Powerboost "Stop safely now" no start

    Well it’s not the gas level at least for me I go down to a few gallons and get the “less than 50 miles to empty” warning. Doubt it’s temperature either. My guess is a software bug in the phone app caused the issue. I always unlock with key and start. If something is haywire I turn on and off or...
  18. Whats the point of hybrid?

    Too many to list. These days biggest draw is good smelling leather, max recline seats, and massage option. Plus the cool factor.
  19. PowerBoost UOA Kirkland 5W-30 @ 9,900 mi -- Blackstone Oil Analysis Report

    Not routinely although I have didn’t find anything. My ecoboost oil looks like crap on a dipstick by 1000 to 1500 miles that’s one of the reasons I change it. Drives me crazy but they keep going so far. I also have Toyotas, Porsches, Chrysler, and turbo VW none of which do that. A Toyota V6 in a...
