  1. Plug-in Powerboost

    Your idea does exist but not exactly the way you describe you would like. We own a 2021 ToyotaRav4 Prime (Plugin Hybrid EV) and love it. Especially loved the $7,500 Fed Tax Credit we received off our taxes in April. It is not a pickup truck but gets driven a hell of a lot more than our 2021...
  2. Hybrid F150 - best method to power 12V accessories in bed/canopy setup while camping/sleeping?

    I think I know what your wanting to accomplish. But to make my life easier for me I have the on board 7.2kw generator, not sure if you mentioned having this. Anyways, I went camping on Jekyll Island shortly after truck purchase March 2021. I found a tent that fitted the F150 bed for less...
  3. Theft risk? Vehicle and Catalytic Converter?

    May not steal your CAT Converter but they can drill our gas tanks for the gas. Always something when supply chain bottlenecks and wars cause shortages.
  4. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    I'm getting close to the advertised MPG of 23 on my PB. I drive in a controlled manner not taking off from the light real fast and I'm in ECO or Normal Mode most of the time. I too drive conservatively slow stops not accelerating towards the stop light just coasting which makes more sense...
  5. Terrible MPG in my 2021 F150 Powerboost

    Everyone expects to get 24 on the dime without thinking about how they drive and what changes they make too it ie. adding equipment and weight. Mileage depends on many variables. If your doing things to change the factory setup like replacing with larger tires and leveling kits that add more...
  6. My Lariat has a mind of it's own

    The rattle could be the new recall, the Underbody Thermal-Acoustic Insulators loosen and contact the aluminum driveshaft. Look up your Vin on the government recall site Recalls.GOV Regarding the Truck automatically switching settings, I have that experience with my Sirius Radio not always...
  7. Which trim gets the Moon roof & panoramic roof as standard?

    I purchased an 2021 Hybrid Powerboost XLT with Moon roof, so you can option it.
  8. Terrible MPG in my 2021 F150 Powerboost

    How many miles are you getting in electric mode? I'm averaging 12.5% of my miles in electric a total of 895 miles electric total so far out of 7,150 total miles. Could be your average on the gauge cluster is overall average with hard acceleration lowering it and not in ECO mode. Comes down...
  9. Pro Power Onboard Generator 7.2K Powering a Trailer While Driving -- IT WORKS!

    Seem' Erik's think a like, must be the Viking in us. Anyways, I do the same thing by running the Power cord that my camper came with for our 16 ft 2015 Shasta Airflyte Reissue, except I'm plugged into the main power at side of camper as I'm driving down highway with the heavy cord dangling at...
  10. Why I sold my 2021 F-150 Limited Powerboost

    Sorry to hear your negative experience with the Hybrid power boost shifting. I guess I don't drive my truck as hard as I would when in my Mustang. Anyways, I haven't had the hard clunks experience in the shifting. I have heard this from Consumer Reports too and expected it to occur in a...
  11. Intelligent Cruise Control and Lane Keeping experience on a 2500 mile trip

    My experience is pretty much the same as these great reviews. My biggest gripe is the keep hands on steering wheel warnings. I will have my hands on the wheel and it seems to have difficulty sensing. Its annoying to the point I get tired of squeezing tightly and will turn off the cruise...
  12. Video: F-150 Lightning Test Ride + Rouge Production Plant Tour

    Great update video from Tom. I love where Ford is headed with electrification of vehicles and powering tools for the tradesmen and home when the power goes out. I still think the Hybrid Power boost will be the choice most Ford Truck buyers will want when towing campers etc. unless they're just...
  13. Received invite for Early Access to BlueCruise update

    Appears It does not say Active Prep. Oh well, still happy driving the truck myself and appears there is lots of confusion surrounding BC. I didn't buy the truck with intention of getting it anyways. I was lucky enough in Mid March 21' to find on a dealer Lot a Crew Cab Power Boost in Rapid...
  14. Received invite for Early Access to BlueCruise update

    I have over $20,000 in options, might as well be a lariat. The one that gives me the BC option is Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0, connected Built-in navigation (3-yr)
  15. Received invite for Early Access to BlueCruise update

    I received something and have the option that allows me to add it. The gentleman's comment its hands fee is not totally accurate. Your required to keep hands on steering wheel and eyes focused on road. Many time I have been reminded to keep hands on wheel when cruise control is engaged or the...
  16. Front brakes wearing out quickly at 6K miles?

    I have 5,000 miles on my Powerboost XLT Crew Cab purchased March 15th, 2021 and so far no complaints. Knock on wood. However, I had sticky calipers in two other Fords, a 2003 Expedition and a 1986 Mustang SVO. Diving down the highway I have smelled other Ford truck brakes driving ahead of...
  17. The challenges of RVing an EV

    I too would love to have a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) but have the same worry of finding enough level 3 charging stations along my routes to keep the trip time reasonable. Tesla is the only manufacture with enough available fast charging stations to keep long distance interstate travel...
  18. Trying to find the light at the end of my tonneau search

    Also, my tailgate has the lowering button on the key fob and the dash board and works great. Just make sure you close tailgate first then close down the cover lastonto the the top of tailgate for proper seal.
  19. Trying to find the light at the end of my tonneau search

    I went through the same process. I have a 21 F-150 XLT Crew Cab Hybrid Powerboost with the 7.2 kw generator and 5.6 foot bed. I wanted to be able to put on a Thule sliding rack so I needed a flush mount or below the rail mount cover to not interfere with the installation of the bed rack. I...
  20. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    I've noticed my truck can cruise in electric mode at over 70 mph if on slight down hill grade after tapping break it switches to electric driving. About 10% of my miles are electric miles so far. Loving it so far.
