I've seen AMBs, in person, on overcast days and they all look black to me. In bright sunlight, they still look black, in person to me, with just a hint of blue on the edges at a certain angle. I went with white, because I didn't want black, nor did I want the heat from a very dark color in the sun. (Originally I was going to order AMB, because I like blue.)

If you are happy with black, it is a pretty color when clean, I'd said jump on it if it's a good deal for you. You have been waiting for quite some time.

Good luck and happy T Day!

Well, you can take me out of limbo ?? I bought Pixie’s black sister, as Pixie still sits cold in the snow on hold. I got her last night and have been driving her all around Getting 24MPG and about a third of my miles have been electric. Will post some pics soon.

On a side note, I seem to be getting much worse mileage than others have reported. I'm not an aggressive driver, rather the opposite, and I've been going out of my way to try to drive gently to juice the mileage, but in a mix of highway and town driving (3/4 highway), I'm getting an average of 19.5mpg. I never expected to regularly see the advertised Powerboost '24', but under 20 is worse than I was expecting. Are other folks with Powerboost seeing similarly? Winter-blend gas woes, perhaps?

I’m getting 19.5 on every tank with 275/70/18 General Grabbers that weigh 8 lbs more than the stock tires. On short trips on cold mornings I get about 15 mpg and it doesn’t run on electric. I’ve had some 30 mile trips lately where speeds hover around 45-60 and terrain is flat and I get about 21 on those trips. On stock tires those numbers would go up by 1.5 mpg. On flat highways if I’m going 70+ the mpg drops to 18.5 ish. My eco meter is 97+ on all three. The 24 mpg rating is probably accurate for base level truck with smaller tires and less weight.

So there seems to be a secret hidey hole under the little mat where the shifter folds down into, but I can’t get it open? What’s in there?!! ?

A spot to put your key so it can be programmed.

I find that it's actually best for mpg to accelerate as hard as you can without getting into boost. That gives the car more time to run on full electric.

A short trip when it's cold out definitely won't give a good number though. Have to heat up engine + battery.

Well OK, then! Pixie (the person) has a truck, while Pixie the truck is... still in Limbo. Don't cry for Pixie (the truck)... in January, someone is going to REALLY need an F-150 and Pixie (the truck) will show up on the lot like magic for them.

As for Pixie (the person), send pics!

Which means....

We have a winner(?)! Segev2110 is the last inhabitant of Limbo, and is now, officially:

THE KING OF LIMBO:

A spot to put your key so it can be programmed.

The key program spot is under the rear cup holder. I have seen the door looking thing Pixie is referring to, but I haven't tried to open. I figured it was a screw or bolt cover.

It looks like a battery cover type lid, no screws. I know the one in the cup holder is where you put your key if it’s dead so you can start your truck…you can program a key there too?

I read about it on here or the ford knowledge videos, that it is used to retrieve your door pad code, and something about programming a master key, and alternate key that can have feature restrictions done.

Any news, @segev2110 ? Still in Limbo?

Any news, @segev2110 ? Still in Limbo?

So I do have some news today. The truck I was waiting on from this build week (or one week after) still hasn’t arrived. It did ship a few days ago finally.

In the meantime I found this truck built and shipped the next day, and picked it up this morning!

That is a really sweet looking truck!! Congrats and good luck with it!
