Not sure if it's been answered yet, but the PB 4x4 all come with locking 3.73s -- this is only showing up for the platinum. My guess is that due to the platinum's fully loaded feature, they may be giving a bump in payload (GVWR) while keeping published trailer numbers low. It really seems like they don't want to promote the PB's as towing F150s (towing mirrors can't be factory optioned). Outside of the high/hot/heavy trans temp issue, we just haven't seen anything suggesting such is warranted with the powerboosts. Something may be showing in telemetry, which ya bet your ass they're still gobbling up (see image).They've referred to the gear and e-locker options as "axle upgrades" previously. E.G.: My truck came with 3.55, but it was "upgraded" to e-locker as an option.
Likely means it only comes with a single axle/diff config.
In the larger context of that interview, and that sentence specifically, I thought he might have been speaking in general terms, and not explicitly about the F-150.
No, seems the tank options are 36 gallon or the PB which only comes with 30 gal. None of the PB's base options have changed. HD-HEV frame, 4 core rad, 3.73 w/ locker.
No, they're likely following the mach-e change, 360 cameras in every vehicle, 1 time cost on lessor trims, already 'paid' on the uppers. 360 cams should be an easy future sale if it's a flat-price and not hardware-as-a-service bullshit. There may be workarounds for that though
The PB comes with loads of features for that price. Once they patch whatever faulty module startup sequence is causing the SSN error, the misplaced paranoia will vanish. The BAP package is available on a few colors, not just black.
Does it lose the hood -- not fond of the wheels, IIRC those are from the expedition, better than current BAP wheels though? The PB really needs that hood to help on cooling unless they've done something else. Ford went back to traditional OEM 'code' -- make lesser versions look like shit. My 22 XLT 302a that doesn't even have sunroof was $67k -- no way in hell I'd pay that for that bastard design. Looks like the design of a $20k maverick, a real dick move bringing back cheap looking nonsense on a vehicle with that price. The tremors remain the same however -- the 401 is a 302 and the 402 is a 502 for lighting and interior features like cooled seats.
I agree, lots of people missing the point of it being a "refresh" not a new Gen.
I noticed the same thing. My 2023 502A is more expensive than a 2024 with the same options. Going to the powerboost is even cheaper than what mine was with a 3.5. And with Granger offering 4% instead of 3%, the 2024 price is better yet.
Both the Platinum and Platinum Plus or just the Platinum Plus?This would jive with the rear brake sizing:
Looks like it would require replacing the whole dash, since it's only on the Platinum that gets the "Super Duty" dash.
There was not. It all looked like the current Sync interface.
