Yep, I believe it was the Platinum was VIN ending in 105. It was not a powerboost but had the generator because the inverter was under the back seat which keeps it from have the lockable under seat storage.

Adding on. Really appreciate your insights. I'm not "great" with this kind of decision and it's a big deal for me. Bob: beers (or your drinks of choice) on me if our orbits ever intersect.

Heads up for @ZWARRIOR and @21PlatiDZL

I am at Elk Grove ford and the sales guy I was talking to said that TODAY at the Sacramento speedway (on excelsior road) there is the employee training and test drive event! He said he drove by yesterday and you can easily walk up and see the trucks and probably take pics. I am waiting for my wife's Infiniti to finish service but hell it is worth a shot! He said just blend in and don't look out of place. I would LOVE to see a king ranch in person! Maybe see some drag races against the rams in the background haha

2021 F150 Limited 4x4 Powerboost (Hybrid)
Occupation
Retired
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.

My pleasure.

It was a dark silver or light charcoal. Not sure what they are calling it.

I was just "at" the employee training event and they had an Iconic Silver KR chrome in the sun in all its glory, but they would not let me open it or into the event obviously since I'm not an employee :cry:. I'll post them in the Iconic Silver thread.

Sooooo close to seeing that KR interior in the daylight! It sucked driving away like a dog with my tail tucked between my legs.

They did have a sweet looking bronco in the parking area with a Michigan plate. Obviously an employee with an early one.

Don't you know that Bronco got some looks everywhere it went. I bet they could not get gas without someone coming over to take to them about it.

Well how would I know that, sir! So this guy just rolls around with the caravan? I just thought it was cool seeing one in the wild, as I thought those people have been waiting forever (and into next year for sure)

My dealer has one of those Bronco Sports displayed.
Not even inside, right there as you walk into the showroom from the main entrance
