4/4/22 Build Week Group

Apples and oranges. Just looking at the engine alone one can make gas consumption and power comparisons. But that isn't an actual real world comparison.

But the benefit of the Powerboost is the electric powered drivetrain. This provides additional power in addition to the engine at times, which decreases gas usage which in turn increases the MPG. That does mean the vehicle is more efficient overall.

I probably just stated the obvious above, but after test driving one, I was impressed with the overall power of the vehicle and efficiency of gas usage. All of my previous trucks struggled to get over 14 in the city and 17 on on the highway. I am looking forward to that 22 to 24. I saw above 24 in highway driving during my test drive.

Still no update from Ford on my build..... in production, no further emails since a month ago, got my window sticker Monday and my blend is 4/5.

The electric drive has a short range. So a long trip will require the gas engine to operate. The batteries and electric motor are then payload. This makes the PB trucks less efficient when burning gas than a traditional 3.5 EB. I dont have a PB, im going off of YouTube videos and threads in this forum.

YOUHOU ! ! !

Your build is very similar to mine. I wonder if that factored into why the build dates are so close?

Tracker updated.

My Sequence number is 0168 , and received VIN on 03/24/2022 thanks

Cool! Updated... What's the VIN?

I’ve had this build week for a couple weeks now, but didn’t wanna jinx anything, so kept quiet until I got the window sticker.

Original build week was march 14th, then bumped to 28th, now here.

Another 157". No, you're with us now.... You can't leave, we won't let you!

Updated!

Not exactly accurate. But the concept is close enough.

What you describe as "long trip", I think you meant high speed cruising? Because at some point approaching interstate speeds, the onboard software logic does indeed take EV mode off the table. But nobody has proven (that I know of) that the second source for torque/HP is no longer even contributing. But if it is, it isn't enough to differentiate the Powerboost fuel economy at that steady state speed from the Ecoboost at that same steady state speed.

I've owned both and done enough interstating for comparison. They are close enough.

But I would not say that the Powerboost is less fuel efficient than the non Powerboost. And that "Payload" of the Hybrid gear isn't the kind of Payload that sucks fuel. I don't really see a big drop in interstate cruising if my big bruiser son is in the passenger seat.

Not sure why this doesn’t work for me. It just says can’t retrieve VIN.

When did you place the order and what is the VIN?

Original order was June 6 21, converted to ‘22 10/26/21, VIN on 2/21/22 VIN = 1FTFW1ED6NFB02451

I don't see a window sticker for that VIN, did you get a build week date from your dealer?
