is everyone getting this line item on their window sticker? I didn't ask for it, but there it is.
So my question is this: On the PowerBoost, will the engine still turn on and off as needed, when using the generator, like it's supposed to?

Yeah, that line item on a PB is a mistake, it is impossible to stop it from starting/stopping as it is a basic function of the hybrid system. So if you have a PB, just ignore that part. It was a build sheet mistake due to them rushing to get that added for the other engines.

whew.. lol ok cool, because after living with it for 2-1/2 years on my 2019 Ranger I've gotten used to it.
I'm also glad the PB generator function will work as normal.
thank you.

Thanks for explaining that - I was wondering as it was showing as a scheduling constraint for some vehicles not having auto start/stop removal. When I asked the dealer, he said no can do for PB, yet it showed as a line item on both my 2021 order and my 2022 replacement order.
