I am at 26,400 with my ‘21 PowerBoost. Never an issue - other than a recall to replace a wiper arm at no charge. The big Inverter has come in handily several times during small construction and never gave me any issue. Such a versatile and reliable vehicle!

Yes. Between the 2” Level the larger diameter and heavier tires, and the drop in temperatures, I’ve lost about 3-4 mpg. About 1 of those is from the uncalibrated speedometer, so I would guess the KO2’s cost around 1.5-2.0 mpg. Definitely worth it!

I had them on an old Pathfinder that I used to take north regularly to ski country. Loved them! From all I’ve read, the newer model is superior in many ways - including in snow.

That level looks great! I convinced my local Ford Service Mgr to install a 2” level kit. (He was cautious and wouldn’t do a 2.5”). Still, it made a huge difference in the look & feel of the truck. I kept my stock wheels but upgraded to 34” KO2’s (275/65 R20’s).

Great choice. I upgraded my PB Platty to 34” KO2’s a few weeks ago and am thrilled with them! ‘Can’t wait for the first snow to test these bad boys.

@Nightshade - Merry Christmas! For the 2nd year in a row, I just added a lighted Christmas Wreath to the front of my 2021 PowerBoost. It’s a 22” natural wreath with 50 colored and 50 white LED’s. I attached it using wire ties to the Front license plate holder. For power, I plug it into an...

@RandyNC - My ‘21 Platinum Powerboost is at 21,000 miles and has had zero issues (other than a wiper arm replacement that is back ordered). That said, there is a lot of new tech in this truck. Lots to potentially go wrong. That’s why I bought an extended warranty.

@wessermgm Thanks on the truck! I agree with you about KO’s. I had them on a 1991 Pathfinder I used for ski trek’s in my youth - superior to almost anything without chains. Plus … they look cool. 😎

@saluki - Yes, absolutely. I use the GoogleMaps from my iPhone all the time via CarPlay. You can also readily use Waze. I do t use the Ford Navigation anymore, not since it mid-directed me to NSA HQ where I was met by several very nice gentlemen brandishing automatic weapons who conducted...

@wessermgm - It looks like you and I have the exact same truck - a Smoked Quartz SCREW Platinum Powerboost with the FX Package! Congrats on your tire upgrade! I also investigated putting better tires on mine and really like the WildPeaks, Ridge Grapplers, and KO2’s. I ended up replacing...

@Snakebitten - Since the warm weather returned, I have consistently been getting over 700 miles per 30.6 gallon tank in my Powerboost. Here’s a pic of my dashboard at my last fillup. (No towing, mostly in eco-mode commuting to/from work.) The truck said it got 25.1 mpg but my hand calculated...

The boys at TFL race trucks all the time, including their long-term blue Powerboost. They race in Sport, 4WD.

@STM - I had it installed in my Powerboost Platty 2 weeks ago (took the dealership 2 days) and had similar observations - smooth and safe but seems to track closer to the passenger-side lane marker. (I thought it was just me). Maybe I don’t do enough long haul trips but I don’t see this as the...

Ha! I have a fold-up platform that’s identical to this one (except the plastic corners are yellow.) A serious time-saver and makes washing the truck a far better experience. I’ve used it for other household projects as well. From Homer Depot -...

JUST TERRIBLE! So sorry to hear this. I’ve had my Platinum Powerboost for over a year and have had zero problems with it in >15k miles.

@puffy These gentlemen are right. I’ve had a portable Dewalt compound mitre saw for a decade and it sometimes trips the circuit breakers of my home’s outside outlets, if I don’t do the ‘soft start’. I bought a Powerboost last year with the 7.2kw inverter and have used I that saw many times...

@ thebigdu - In 3 days, I will have had my 2021 Powerboost for a year and have been getting 650-720 miles per tankful (30.6 gal). Even after a 2” level kit, as the weather has warmed, I’ve been getting around 700 miles. Here’s my last one, about 760 per the dashboard, so closer to 725 real...

@Steeler - Good choice. I’ve been using the Magwires Ceramic Coating product on my wife’s Explorer for 2 years and it performs very well. Apply it 2-3 times per year. For my 2021 F-150, I applied a ceramic coating (not a ceramic wax) called CarPro CQUARTZ 3.0 UK. 10 months later I am very...

@Dan M. - Ha! I’ve had mine for 10 months and have yet to see another Smoked Quartz either!

Dude, I think he was just h trying to tell you the truth. I too have a Powerboost and was averaging >23 mph all summer and fall (23.5 per the instrument cluster). Over the winter, I noticed that the mpg has dropped to 20-22, as the cold engine takes time to heat up (little benefit from the...
