I like.
Ordered 9/10/20 Delivered 3/10/21. Pandemic has played havoc with schedules due to plants shutting down, then working one shift, and delays associated with parts. Got the Powerboost with the onboard 7.2 kw generator.

Re: New Ride
You can never go wrong with a Ford truck EH. Nice looking truck, Nothing like that new vehicle smell. The one I have I ordered as well. 2015 model, 76k on it, still riding on the original tires. Front end is as tight as the day I picked it up. I am curious to know how that power plant works.

Re: New Ride
That is a cool pick up. Congrats with a new car. Getting a new car is like becoming a child again.

Re: New Ride
My 2015 F150 was scaring 90k miles (89,822).
The Powerboost switches to electrical quite often in town. If I set the cruise to say 35, the engine switches to electrical for a while or if I’m slowing for a stop sign. I’m not sure what the maximum speed is for it to switch but it did switch the other day at 40 mph. I drove back for a garden center earlier. The garden center is 3.1 miles away and 1 mile of the ride was on electrical.
On the highway the other day the mpg fluctuated between 22 and 26 mpg at 70 mph depending on being on the flat or going up/down an overpass.

Re: New Ride
Norway Jose - Si, it’s a hybrid. Has cruise control on 45 mph today and it switched from gas to electric. I didn’t think it would do it at 45. Anytime slowing down it switches to electric. Any acceleration is gas, even from a stop.
PhillyMiguel - it’s the 2,083rd Limited built by Ford.
Really enjoying it.

Re: New Ride
Cool. I think hybrid is brilliant. Saves you some gas but more torque from low rpm's.egghead wrote:Norway Jose - Si, it’s a hybrid.
