Probably have less traffic light front/rear bounce if the load was in front of the rear axle. But then, you'd be looking at an headache rack to protect yourself. Thats one load I'd use my Aluma 7816 for....... and get more than one load of sod.

Admit it. None of us pay as much attention when "just" using adaptive cruise as we do without it. We've all seen those videos of Tesla with fast asleep people behind the wheel.....

I just got a promo from Ford in the mail. I told the wife it had a $2,000 coupon for a new Ford. She wasn't impressed with this "Money saving" idea...

The computer code that runs the hybrid and Powerboosts has to be very different from the plain old 3.5 without the extra bits on it. I sure wouldn't tune a PB. Seems most dealer techs don't want anything to do with them.

Don't book that ticket until the dealer (?Granger) physically has the truck on their lot.

I still don't understand auto transmissions. Somehow I don't think I ever will....

Have you considered aftermarket units? I guarantee anything from Ford will be hideously expensive....even before you get to labor.... Head up display

PPE messed up on the oil pans.... https://www.f150forum.com/f7/warning-ppe-transmission-pans-10r80-535875/

Its not something I would want. Looking at the build it site, looks like its wrapped up in an option package or two. I also hate to think of the additional payload it gobbles up. Could we see an F150 with Tundra like payloads under 1,000lbs?

100 miles of driving should be sufficient to markedly improve the charge of any battery even with a couple of stops and restarts. Do you have a voltmeter? At rest 12.5v with engine running no more than 14.9v

The stock 5.0 has a 12:1 Compression ratio. This is at the high end for naturally aspirated engines. Turbo and supercharged vehicles tend to keep the CR lower than NA engines. Is there any change in the head gaskets to lower the CR and if so, what does it drop to?

If the 3.5 is built as the same plant that other engines like the 3.3 was, then I would have thought that cancelling one engine would release space to build more of the other. Then again, I'm seeing local dealers order the 3.5 not the 5.0 as they used to two and three years ago. So perhaps...

The PB equipped trucks are clearly much much heavier.......

I'm surprised at the front axle weight. Last time I scaled my truck and trailer (with wheeling truck on) I had Front 2860, rear 3060, Trailer axles 4920 for a total of 10,840.

I see it as inevitable that ICE trucks will likely have to have solar panels built in (hello sunroof) as a form of battery maintainer at the very least, hybrid battery charging at best. This is a very good first try. Like any first attempt, issues arise that experience will teach how to overcome.

My next truck will be ordered and not bought off the lot. It will come with the 2kw option as when I have two people in the truck both wanting to use the AC 400w is a little lightweight.

They're the 24 design. So I guess we'll get used to the design whether we like it or not.

Any racks out there that allow you to have a tonneau cover as well?

The intake is the same location as the stock unit. So just as cold. K&N filters don't keep out as much dirt as a stock filter as they rely on the oil. Be careful not to dowse the filter in oil as that will damage any sensors in the intake.

I was watching a few of those and one feature these trucks have that Ford should give us is the combined AC/DC bed power center.
