I got to test drive the F-150 Limited. Here's some answers from the questions gathered here.
The powerboost can take off on battery only, it just won't go like that for miles. It does assist at speed when a load occurs like going up hill.
Powerboost on takeoff uses the hybrid motion and battery pack to engage the engine and it was a very smooth transition.
Max recline seats do have the massage feature and the passanger seat can lay all the way down while driving. They did not know when they will show up for production.
The ones with the max recline are the ones that have that larger pillow at the shoulder level.
Propower for the hybrid does turn on and off as needed to charge the battery. The 30 hour estimate for the 7.2 kw generator is at full load the entire 30 hours. If you are not using full load then the time is much longer depending on consumption.
I can not beleive they had set this event up in such a congested area as Atlanta. I did drive the powerboost and did get a chance to romp on it for a short while. I wish it was more rural so I could have gotten longer burst out of it before having to slow down.
All I can say is I am very happy I ordered the powerboost! (and I own a Dodge Hell Cat too). I did not make my Ford rep very happy but I had to get some info out of this trip.
The speedo display is excellent
The 18 speaker system is way better than my 18 KR, There are 2 speakers in each headrest, one above each front seat in the roof and like 6 up front in the dash area. It had a real good sound coming from every direction.
There is a camera in the rear break light that shows the bed of the truck. It's to monitor your load if you are hauling something.
Here are some photos I took at the event.
