Mileage is a thing because beyond the variation caused by vehicle things like lifts and tires, there's environmental variation. Looks like you live in FL, which is warm and flat, and pretty ideal for battery/hybrid applications. Those of us in places that are mountainous and cold have a much...

'21 502A here with around 30K miles. Pretty much problem free for me. One minor issue with rear camera becoming wonky after the tailgate was removed to spray the bedliner. Fixed by recalibrating. Aside from that, nothing. While I like the power, I'd have been willing to give some of that up to...

If you're not a fan of the power running boards, deleting them does gain you back a chunk of payload, which is definitely a plus. And 100% agreed on black...I'd never get a black vehicle for all the reasons mentioned. For that matter, I wish more came with gray interior options instead of black.

First thing I'd do for any kind of serious off-road travel is upgrade the stock tires to a more solid AT tire. Something like a KO2. Both for cut resistance and traction.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the PB isn't really any better than the regular Ecoboost at 70+. The electric motor isn't helping much...if you're going uphill or accelerating, the extra weight is likely outweighing any benefit. A lift/level is definitely going to be worse on...

Benefits of higher octane also depend on where you are. If you live out West at altitude, there's little benefit to running 93, which is also pretty impossible to find.

I've not seen anything like this, and spent last winter in Park City with record breaking amounts of snow. That said, I wouldn't trust the factory tires if I was going to see lots of snow, and I pretty much immediately replaced them with a more aggressive AT tire with a 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake...

Ah, I have max tow, spray in liner, wheel well liners. Maybe that’s why.

I have to add my thanks to @Knickell for this setup as well. I originally went with the replacement center console tray on Amazon that had the built in charging spot. The charger in it was horrible. This setup works perfectly! Plus, I have the added advantage of an Anker charger, I have...

I have a mid-late 2021 502a PB. It's been pretty much problem free through 28,000mi. Knock on wood. These were a bit hard to find back then, so I ended up jumping on one that had a few options that I wouldn't have chosen given an alternative. As others have mentioned, payload can be an issue if...

EVs are not presently a great option for those of us that drive long distances, particularly if you tow. And they aren't great in dense cities due to lack of charging infrastructure. But for the suburban commuting and short trips that makes up a lot of traffic, they're just fine. And hybrids...

Nice use of ChatGPT. And yes, the wind can make a huge difference. A year ago, drove through the Columbia River Gorge in OR, which is one of the windiest places around. Something like 12 mph into the wind and almost 30 with the tailwind.

The Ramcharger is a very interesting concept. If it had been an option in 2021 when I bought my Powerboost, I might well have considered it. My use case is moderate towing and moderate payload, and both capable off road and hopefully decent mileage. The PB ticks most of these boxes, but...

Well, just to provide a bit of a counterpoint. I recently moved to Colorado from Utah. The local dealer here actually has a mobile service option, and recently sent out that guy to take care of a couple of the recall items. They contacted me to ask if they could do this! Was great service. So at...

I have a Retrax cover and got a TON of dust in there during a long day driving around on dirt roads in the Utah desert. Got some stick on foam weatherstripping and put it all the way around the sides and bottom of the tailgate. It's not perfect now, but it was a huge improvement.

Feels like we've had this conversation before relative to wheels and tires. I'd argue that from a physics perspective, wheel/tire weight should not affect payload the way something in the cab/bed/engine does. The wheels and tires are under the suspension (unsprung). So adding 10lbs there isn't...

The OP picture with ~1151 is weird. I have a pretty maxxed out 502a Lariat, and I'm at 1426. I'm not sure there was another 300 lbs of options I could have added, even if I wanted to.

This ^^^^ I find this whole thread a bit silly. It's reasonable to discuss ways to improve cooling. But if you're regularly towing very heavy loads up long grades in the heat of summer, you should be getting something something with significant error margin. Not a half ton, no matter the engine...

I've had mine going through streams at least 2" deep, but only for a short distance. It had no problem with that.

Wildpeak AT3s did well for me in a very snowy Park City last year.
