I see the Canada plates, Wisconsin here, I just got a 2023 F150 Powerboost SuperCrew hybrid Lariat. Just shy of 1000 miles on it(had to drive it to my sister's house in Indiana to help with spring prep, got home safe with no chips I think) dropped it off for the ceramic coating and poly film protection today. I got the 7200 watt upgrade and am getting a transfer switch installed to use it as a whole home generator. This truck is so sweet I can't even begin to tell you.
@@pewpewtactical5288 Love it, can power my entire house with it, get a 650 mile range when I fill it up with cheap Costco 87 octane gas(thanks Biden, gas prices are amazing) and the ceramic coating is awesome. Just detailed it today, looks like brand new only 1 tiny stone chip on the front plastic. I miss the grocery bag holders my 2013 had on the underside of the back seats but that's really the only knock I have. 🤣
Great review Justin. Had a 2021 F150 Platinum 3.5L and now have a 2022 Limited Powerboost for 13 months. Has the work station console, 7.2kw generator as well a lay flat seats. The lay flat seats have a bit firmer more comfortable support as well as the shoulder support that I find better for me personally. I now have a 2023 F150 Lariat for work as well but would never trade the Limited Powerboost for anything else in the lineup. My wife and I absolutely love the Limited Powerboost. I never worry about gas mileage...it's fun to drive and it is what it is..lol!! Afterall it is a 4x4 pickup.....I live in NW Alberta where we see lots of snow and -20 to -40 is a common occurrence in the winter here.
@@sentry8992it puts out good amperage too. For instance you can power 2 travel trailers using 30amp plugs at the same time. This is one case where a quiet exhaust is a bonus if you use the generator to power your trailer AC in a campground. To the OP, a year later how is it? And what kind of MPG are you getting on the hwy?? Would you still buy it? And finally, I like the design of your gen better than the new 2024’s. The new headlights sort of look terrible…the new taillights are so odd looking vs the sleek and high end looking 2021-2023’s.
They’ve (Ford) had been playing around with this tech for what, over a decade now, the Hybrid Fusion…which my 2018 has full EV capability, with the ability to use the EV motor to assist, and on longer trips, can average 4.8-5.2 litres/100, works pretty damn good imho, and pending your circumstances, some are reporting 2.3 litres/100…their travel is approx 42-45km each way to work. ….personally, throughout the Spring-Fall months get approx 25km on full EV …now with temps in -10-17c as of late, and a decent amount of snow fall, I’ve noticed a 5-7km loss in range, but, I am also running heated seats, steering wheel, some rear defrost, wipers and of course cabin heat….so, as long as I can plug in to any outside wall plug…I can drive back and forth to work all week, and not use a drop of fuel. So, it’s a head scratcher Ford seems to be taking 2 steps backwards…It’s not as if they didn’t have the room for a little bigger battery and a plug-in port 😂 …with a $20-$25K price premium…this is imho, not having the ability to choose full EV is deal breaker… I’ve also had an opportunity to drive the Lightening, though only an hour, is was no doubt nice to drive, lots of power….but the battery drain is significant…from a full charge…lost 17% of the battery 🪫 Cool truck but again…the prices are insane.
Really nice review. Taking delivery of a an XLT Powerboost tomorrow. It will be fun to see its functionality over the luxury of the Limited. It’s marked down over 12k here in the states now, only paying 56k us. Main options, 7.2kw, 4x, mid tow. I’ve always been a fairly lean xlt guy, and this still seems like a pricey truck to me.
Good Morning I have a 2023 F150 Hybrid 2.5 with 3,000 miles. Got in it yesterday and pushed power button, red truck symbol with exclamation point popped up and says "Stop Safely Now" and will not come out of park. Any suggenstions before I call a wrecker?
Do you think the Raptor would handle those rougher back roads better than the Tremor or Platinum/Ultimate powerboost does, be smoother and quieter? Highways too? Bad snow weather? Thanks.
300 percent!! With the Fox dampers in the Raptor, you could (and I'm not exaggerating), sip a hot coffee driving at a much higher speed over those same surfaces and not spill. It's a highly specialized setup, in my opinion, a light-year ahead of the conventional suspension you'll find in the other models. The actual dampers themselves are a completely different design. The body is more stable more of the time, the suspension travel is much more generous, also, more precisely controlled. It's magical. Tougher construction / tires = quieter and softer. It's actually hilarious how fast you can cover very very rough ground. Major difference vs Tremor / Platinum. Much more driver workload to control these machines on rough surfaces, even at much lower speeds. Highways, I'd expect the Raptor to be louder and thirstier, but haven't driven one in ages. In winter, with a good set of dedicated winter rubber, it would be an absolute beast. When it comes to the ride quality, I've had similar experiences with other specialized models you may like: Ram TRX GMC Yukon AT4 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro (2018 ish) GM Colorado ZR2 Specialized suspension takes 98 percent out of the 'bite' of the backroads ride. Love it!
Great reply. Thanks so much. A follow up question or two. The standard Raptor has 35's, and there is the 37 performance package option that comes with larger 37 tires and additional modification to the suspension, which if I understand it correctly, dampens both ways, up and down. Does all that you say apply to the standard 35 Raptor? How might it be different with the 37 package? In terms of smooth quiet ride on those back roads but also highways. I do understand that the 37 eats more gas, and is tougher turning. Thanks. And I saw your AT4 vids, those were great. I was thinking I could get a 2025 Yukon AT4 when it comes out, b/c apparently the 2025 Yukons will finally be getting some additional padding in the seats, but I'm concerned about how low and how far into the center line from the rear wheels that independent rear suspension set up goes, makes for a smooth drive on reasonable roads apparently, but despite where they apparently measure the minimum road clearance to come up with their 8" standard height before air adjusting, that mechanism inside of the rear wheels just hangs too low too far into the center for my taste, seems potentially problematic.@@JustinPritchard
I want to buy a 2024 Ford F-150 with two types of engines: 5.0v8 3.5 turbo. Which one do you advise me to buy, which one has the lowest fuel consumption and the best service without mechanical problems?
Another great review. I saw our GMC Yukon AT4 videos a few years ago which were also good. A question. How would you compare the ability for this F150 Powerboost compared to the Yukon AT4 in cold snowy ski country weather, on road mostly, but also the occasional dirt road or dirt parking lot, in terms of performance and road handling and handling the slippery snow roads and such? I've been going back and forth between getting a full size suv or a pick up, either fully loaded, in my case, one of the Yukons or the F150 Platinum, likely with Powerboost. I"m looking for a go anywhere, any time, any kind of weather vehicle, luxury and smooth and quiet too, but winter weather and roads are my biggest concern. If you have any thoughts, thanks.
The generator can output 7.2kw, the electric assist motor is 35kw to 40kw (3500 to 4000 watts) that’s I think were your confusions is. The truck can put out 7200 watts in generator mode and 240v. The Battery however is small (1300 watt hour) and is higher voltage (48v) so it can put out the current and feed the inverter (pure sine). The battery really does operate as a buffer a pool of power. Not that you asked for this info, but to illustrate the way it works, they have an electrically driven accessory coolant pump and air-conditioning compressor so even when you come to a stop at a light, if the engine shuts down it’s got the juice to keep the fan humming along at full beans and the heat or air conditioning performance remains uninterrupted. Quite a transparent system that doesn’t blow humid AC air at you when at a stop light. It could run the blower and A/C for say 10min with the engine off before it will fire up the engine and use the generator to top up the battery in about 2min then shut off again running electric only. Meanwhile it saved you 6 or 10 min of idle time. So I do believe it has some gas saving capability when used normally every day when picking up the kids on a hot day from an event etc. The size of the generator makes running this small battery very functional because it can hammer the juice into the battery quickly. Because it will have cells in series and in parallel (to achieve operating voltage and desired capacity) the cells themselves won’t get over stressed in the process. Liquid cooling of the battery pack helps immensely as well.
The biggest issue I have is the cost of these trucks, even the work model, dont last long in the north before rust takes a brutal toll. These trucks need to be built better to withstand corrosion for the price we pay.
These are aluminum construction for the most part and it’s easy to get the steel frame/axles coated or even DIY to keep them rust free. Sure aluminum can potentially corrode but it doesn’t appear to be an issue on these units.
Holy sh*t Justin that's a lot of hay for a pick-up. I'm not sure what I think of the Limited. If I was buying I don't think it would be this trim at all. Great review thanks for showing what $106,000 plus,plus,plus looks like.
Thanks Mark, and agreed that thing cost almost as much as my first house, at least it has nicer furniture LOL. Yeah that's not for me either at that price. I'd probably be going rebel GT Ram or F-150 tremor all the way 👌👌👌
I like a basic work truck, I don't won't a limo with a small box. If a non eco or turbo engined truck with a 100km electric range (empty) with plugin existed that would be my choice.
That's 107,000 CAD. I built one on their website, came to a hair over 87k USD. For 87 grand you can either buy another boring suv, or you can get this super nice, super practical pickup.
@@ChristianC-gy1ym for that much money its way overpriced. I worked as an automotive engineer for 10 years and trucks have far lower development costs than cars. Im not getting range rover luxury or Toyota reliability and yet they want 90K!
I just picked up a 2023 F150 Lariat Powerboost, Driving it home makes a banging noise going from electric to gas. I returned it service said it was a module that shifts it back and forth they replaced it. Well that didn't fix it. Now I'm waiting for a replacement F150 to be delivered. Now after watching your video I'm wonder if it was in sport mode making it bang. I was driving home and didn't get a chance to go through all the different controls and options. Has anyone else had this issue?
I've owned my 2022 Ford F150 Powerboost, Lariat 502A for 16 months and have 36,000 kms on it. It's always switched between gas and electric smooth and quiet.
My son bought the lariat with same options for 80000 and ford knocked10000 so $70,000, still more than I would pay for a truck. I paid 4000 for a 95 t100
These vehicles can run all the cement mixers they want ; but they won’t run themselves after 100000 miles . Wake up buddy and stop being sucked in by the bells and whistles that will fail electronically soon enough. I’ve owned F150’s for years and my current 2021 wii not be replaced with another Ford. What good is the fuel savings on these overpriced computer laden turds when the crappy engines and transmissions fail at 5 years ? Garbage
Not worth it…huge price premium for such little gains …10 years to make your money back?? Who here thinks this thing is gonna last 10 years without thousands in maintenance and repairs 🤔 at least with the Fusion Hybrid you can get 25km on full EV…

Could the stiffness be the 22 inch low profile tire and the rear leaf springs vs coil?
I would love to upgrade to a powerboost if they came in a regular cab 8 ft bed
