Since 2021 when I bought my first PB I wondered why no other manufacturer followed with this innovative idea. The answer is they can't.

The 2023 PowerBoost PID's are now displayed in the OBDLink App. I have just had a chance to start working with it. It appears my PowerBoost 1.5 dashboard is not compatible with the new PID's. There appear to be many new PID's and some new modules supported. In order to get my dashboard to work...

UPDATE: PowerBoost 1.5 now available here. Otherwise instructions below for v1.4 still apply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The F-150 PowerBoost is a complicated machine with many systems. The instrumentation provided by Ford is not...

Today I drove my 2023 PB from Flagstaff, AZ to Palm Springs, CA pulling a 7,300 lb Airstream. When I left Flagstaff the temperature was 47F. When I arrived in Palm Springs 6 hours later it was 113F. This is the first time I have operated my PB at temperatures this high pulling a 7,300 lb...

I had the IOS version of OBDLink running fine on the iPhone with my 2021 PB. I now have a 2023 PB and I see that the Ford, Lincoln, Mercury PID's are only available for up to 2022 models. Am I just out of luck until they post the 2023 Enhanced Diagnostics or is there a workaround? No discussion...

Just took delivery of a 2023 Platinum PB with the same four deletions we have been seeing for months. The only deletion I would really like is the bed camera. So I came up with a work around that is actually much more versatile than Ford's version of the bed camera. Ford graciously gave me a...

The LightShip L1 is a very interesting travel trailer funded by venture capitalists. I took a $500 refundable position for a trailer several months ago. While these guys are designing around fully electric pickups, like the Lightning and Rivian, it would sure work well with the PowerBoost...

I have a 2021 Platinum Powerboost that I just tried to trade for a 2023 Limited Powerboost. We agreed on the trade in value for my 2021 PB but when it came to the new 2023 Limited they basically would not sell the 2023 Limited for any less than $1,500 off sticker price (sticker was $85K). They...

Just got a call from my local Ford dealer. They said they wanted to send a technician to my house to complete the trailer module recall and the wiper arm recall. I told them long ago I got tired of the delays from Ford and bought my own wiper arms and did the trailer module recall through FDRS...

After 4.2.2 WiFi services on Sync4 are being toggle off on restart. Now requires going into "Connectivity" setting and toggling on WiFi on each start.

Sync 4 has multiple internet WAN sources possible. There is the Ford ATT modem buried in Sync 4 that apparently can be set up to broadcast publicly via the vehicle hot spot if you pay for an ATT subscription. As I understand SYNC 4 that same modem is alive and activated to support various...

My 2021 PowerBoost with 7.2kw ProPower Onboard has a primary mission as a tow vehicle for a 25' Airstream Globetrotter trailer. Recently upgraded to Starlink In Motion High Performance phased array antenna and decided to put the antenna on the F-150 since ProPower Onboard is always available...

I have read through all the posts on the tire forum and the towing forum about the best tires for towing. There is a consensus that the stock tires (I have Hankook 275/60R20 115T on my Platinum PB) are not a good fit for towing mid sized trailers. I would like a tire that can handle 7,000 lbs in...

I understand Sync 4 has a built in ATT cellular modem that is used for OTA updates and FordPass connectivity. There is also an option to activate a personal cellular account, presumably using the same ATT cellular modem, to allow for cellular digital data to be made available in and around the...

Since updating my 2021 with all module upgrades to full BlueCruise, I am now doing some towing. It appears in Tow/Haul mode there are no "Electric Miles", the motor stays on. Also it appears Blue Cruise and lane centering is disabled. For lighter towing loads has anyone operated in "Normal...
