which gas station…..asking for a friend.As for your question about why get a powerboost:
2.) the wow factor at the gas station when you tell the ladies you drive an $80,000 hybrid pickup, (no joke this actually happens especially in a king ranch)
I don't get it.at lease you folks have your truck I'm still waiting 17-18 months my truck started as a 21 order and folks have received 23 truck and I'm still waiting my dealer is speechless I'm an electrical contractor that has always bought ford for business and personal vehicles im just lucky i have multiple vehicles due to the buisness
Too many to list. These days biggest draw is good smelling leather, max recline seats, and massage option. Plus the cool factor.which gas station…..asking for a friend.
So that’s why the recline and massagers ran out of stockToo many to list. These days biggest draw is good smelling leather, max recline seats, and massage option. Plus the cool factor.
The hybrid motor is always helping. Just because the engine starts doesn't mean you're not getting help and efficiency.Driding this new truck for a few days. Playing around with electric/ice. Kind if cool but performance of electric from green light is dismal. No matter how I drive I can't get to speed under electric mode fast enough to keep people behind me from honking.
Once I get to speed and wait electric starts. It's the first start that confuses me. What's the of breaking and getting the congrats about recovering 95% during breaking if I the truck doesn't use it to move from stop?
Maybe I just don't understand the concept.
Yea, it's weird getting your best MPG in bumper-to-bumper traffic.I think the key benefits of the hybrid system is additional power and torque especially during acceleration and improved efficiency during deacceleration, coasting, going downhill, and when stopped. I've driven non-hybrid vehicles with auto start/stop, and don't like it, but auto start/stop with a hybrid is almost seamless. Maybe I'm just a little odd, but getting stuck in stop and go traffic and seeing your gas mileage go up is pretty cool.
You could also look up pulse and glide, which takes advantage of the benefits of hybrids. This link provides a pretty good description.

My cabin warms up just fine in the winter with remote start? Engine runs until coolant hits around 140 and then will cycle off and onI'm frustrated that my pb reverts to normal driving mode when I start the truck again instead of staying where I had it when u shut it off. If I was driving in sport mode I find it in normal mode but with 4wd ingaged upon next start.
If the truck would stay in the drive mode I was in I could set it to mud, snow, tow. Anything that keeps the ice on at all times. That way when I do remote start in winter the engine woukd be warm.
Now with remote start the motor is cold.
There is some things I hate about this truck but there will be something I hate about everything. I really hate the dark interior. My fault. My cheeto dust shows.
If you were in my neighborhood I'd swap with you for a weekI'd like to get my hands on one of these Powerboost trucks that aren't getting good gas mileage.
My Job 1 XLT was also delivered in August 2021. MPG since new is 20.1. I regularly see "This Trip" results of 23 mpg, and sometimes as high as 24.5. This is mixed driving, home to shop, 30 miles each way.Took delivery of my 2021 Lariat Powerboost in August 2021. Job 1 build. Pretty much anytime I look down at the trip averages, it’s right at 18mpg. I’ve never sniffed 24mpg.
