Oh no; now you've gone and done it! Those Ford gremlins were just waiting for you to say that.

These Powerboost F-150's vary greatly one truck to another. Some get great fuel economy, some not so much. Mine has averaged 19.15 MPG over 38,000 miles (I record every fill-up in a spreadsheet) and above 70mph it gets around 18 unless wind aided or wind opposed when I pick up or lose another...

Over the past year, I've averaged 19.15 MPG; the last 5 months have been a bit below that average. Here is my last 5000+ miles of fuel economy (pretty much all in "Normal" mode):

My 2019 truck had the same problem along with occasional "clunky" shifts when jumping from 1st to 3rd, especially when cold. My dealer started by resetting the self learning and when that didn't work they ended up replacing the transmission "main valve control body" twice on it and it never...

National Highway Transportation SAFETY Administration...They probably wouldn't consider a low life battery a safety issue. This is all on consumers accepting or rejecting inferior products.

...and you scrolled down through each of the menu options? There are something like 7 or 8 options in the menu selection and only four display at a time. "Settings" is the very last option on mine.

What we don't know is whether they included other changes in the frame/suspension to support the increase in GVWR, which would make it non-artificial. We do know that they changed the rear leaf suspension on PB. Did they do other changes to make it more robust? Who knows, maybe that rear...

I thought F-150s were built in Dearborn and Kansas City plants. KY is SuperDuty, Navigator and Expedition. Did that change?

You probably could have got a few hundred for those 19K Hankooks, though I see you pulled one from the set to make a spare. The Hankooks I've used in the past gave me easily 50K miles and probably would have been good for 60K if I wanted to go through another winter on them. We get some snow...

I keep thinking about those Miami Boat Ramp Videos where the boat overwhelms the tow vehicle on the slippery ramp. But he had a trailer brake controller...

I just keep telling myself "Be happy with the truck you have...Be happy with the truck you have"! I don't need a bigger truck payment; I do think the '24 looks nicer than the 21-23, though. My favorite is still the '18-'20.

Just curious...passenger side is not reverse threaded; right?

You just described the performance of my '22 Powerboost Lariat. It does about 1mpg better than my 2019 3.5 EB in warm weather. In 35,000+ miles of driving I have made 24MPG on exactly one trip; otherwise it runs about 20mpg summer and 18.5 mpg winter. The Powerboost economy seems to vary...

Here in the frozen tundra, the 4WD F-150 is great for getting through snow drifts before plows are able to clear the roads.

In today's context, "flooding" means building up some oil pressure in the engine before letting it fire up. On Ecoboost engine, apparently, if you hold the gas to the floor and turn it over, it won't fire so you build some oil pressure manually that way, then let off the gas and start it...

I think what HammaMan meant to say is "You should NOT smell anything in any mode". '22 502A PowerBoost and I smell nothing in any mode and I use Tow Haul frequently. How much weight are you pulling and how loaded up is the truck vs. rated payload when you are using Tow-Haul?

Last winter was really hard with tons of snow and sub-zero temperatures but the truck handled it with no issues. So far this year winter in MN has been really mild with just this past week going sub-zero so I haven't given it a thought until now; still no issues to talk about.

Looks like a fairly aggressive tread, good to know they are fairly quiet.

Is there any possibility that Ford set the last build date to 12/25/22 so that dealer inventory of '23 models can still be sold to customers and then they'll come back and modify the recall dates? Don't know if dealers would order Max Tow on any dealer inventory models or if Max Tow only went...

400 mile round trip yesterday; half at 75 mph, half at 60 mph with a 12 mph crosswind and I got 18.0 mpg; totally stock and on cruise control 90% of the time. That same trip gets 20 mpg in summer months. Of course summer is 80 F degrees and yesterday was 22 F degrees so a little different than...
