Just wanted to thank you for all the great content you’re creating. Top notch explanations with all the helpful details. I’m waiting on my 24 Powerboost Lariat BAP and your content is helping me set my expectation and understanding the car very well. Great stuff man. Keep it up.
Fantastic review and mods video, as always. Really appreciate all your F-150 videos. Definitely planning to get one and do your recommended mods. Cheers. Ben
Great review for a great truck! Thank you 👍
Another great video. Thanks!
Thanks for the great review! I'm on 17K miles on my 2022 and I love it!
Great video! Thank you!
Solid video as usual! I really appreciate your attention to detail and all the work you put into these videos... just grab me a powerboost for my birthday in March... loving stock as is thus far... but eventually will want to do some things... probably protect the cat first
Another great video, thanks. I have 18k on my '22 Powerboost Mine was ordered XL but Ford to fill the order at the time down built a XLT so mine has some parts from the XLT, Rear lights, parts of dash and programing, Oh and Vin. I put the ignition key in and removed start button system. I have some of your Mods CAT shield, Stahlbus drain plug, Oil catch can ,LED lights all around, dash cam. I added a dip stick to transmission, Bambi bar, Revolution 4 bed cover and more. My numbers are about same for cost and mpg, Have driven 600 miles highway on a tank. Have not had the battery replaced but will get that monitor now. My oil/filter changes are at 3000, Happy with the ride, except in heavy traffic creeping is hard, no power to move up in electric too much if engine kicks in. Boggs down rolling through a yield sign and accelerating. Do get drive shaft knock time to time. Dealer couldn't simulate. Nor fix my trip odometers from resetting to zero before 1000 miles. Had 2 recalls rear wiring harness and wiper motors. Turning radius is poor, hard to pull in a parking space. The collision alert system can distract from the situation. Still all in all, I like the purchase.
I would like to know more about your transmission dip stick. This is one of those items that makes the truck difficult to self-service.
Great video! I have a 22 F150 2.7 and I had a battery issue also. It was always in battery save mode, which infuriated me, all winter. It worked fine when I initially bought the truck, but battery condition declined steadily. Finally took it to the dealer and explained what was happening and they replaced the battery. It has worked great ever since then. This is my first dive into AGM type batteries and I didn’t realize how expensive those batteries are. Luckily, the dealer said it was covered under the warranty and that the battery was bad. I wish I did get the 360 camera package, unfortunately it was part of a package. I had to get the tow package also and I did not want to spend an extra $2000 combined on top of my lariat cost. Overall, love the truck and good luck with your truck.
Very good video. DJG
Another fantastic video, you mentioned several alternate mods, could you link them for future reference or videos? Keep up the fine work of these videos, the content and quality are amazingly well done, I almost believe you worked in the movie industry when I watch. Loving my 2022 F-150 and your content has made my owning a F-150 better, due to your fine work with these videos. All the best to you and yours, a Guy from Iowa.
Hey Iowa guy, thanks for the comments. If you find the youtube video "description" area, you'll find every single link that I've posted. You might also look at my channel for the previous videos. I find this to be much simpler on a desktop browser vs. trying to do this on a smartphone. hope that helps. cheers
Thanks for the video. If things go as planned, I should be purchasing a 24 XLT Powerboost at the end of this year. This is all very helpful information. I like that bed mat idea. I prefer a mat, but it usually doesn’t offer any bed wall protection. This looks like a great solution. 👍
Mark, the very best mods are the ones that you install early on and you never have to mess with again, just like they were installed from the factory. I didn't know squat about bed liners two years ago when my son-in-law steered me to the DualLiner. About the same money as a bed spray from LineX and way more versatile/useful. One of my favorite additions. cheers
I have just over 8k on my 23. So far i am very happy. Little wishes and complaints but overall pretty happy. My milage is consistantly 18.5 but run with about 500lbs of tools in the bed at all times and i dont baby it :) When i want to ive achieved 22+ on shorter drives. Freeway is the worst. Maybe i need to drive slower.

Love my '22 PB, Lariat 502A and am buying another one; my '24 PB is on order for a few months now. Best truck experience in 45 yrs of buying trucks. Thanks for your excellent content; can't find this anywhere else on the internet. I just ordered the same battery monitor.
thanks and 73. I gotta get back on the air.
@@fixorrepairdiy4609 TU OM es 73
Tux mats are great
Really good video. Only improvement would be better and more pics of the products and them on your truck.
👍
If you're interested in any of the specific mods, there's probably a video for that in my channel. Let me know what you're most interested in.
Thanks for the update.
Based on your findings - is the computer MPG value close to your actual calculated value?
The computer always seems to be a little optimistic
22 nice
Thanks for sharing this video with us, your subscribers.
I installed the "Talons Garage Cat Protector/Skid Plate" on my 2023 Platinum Powerboost after having the truck for six months and after the first oil change.
Every six months I do my own engine oil changes at home, but when I did the second oil change I made a huge mess cause the used engine oil would drain directly on top of the skid plate.
Do you offer any solutions for preventing engine oil from draining directly over the skid plate when doing an oil change?
Thank you.
If you noticed in my video on the Talons, i had previously installed a fumoto valve. No problem with the skid plate.
Nice content.. question 1. in your mileage/cost did you mention what octane fuel you normally use? and question 2. I seem to remember a post from someone about a special filter or something additional with an oil change.. this post stated they had taken the truck to a dealer for service and the techs knew nothing about it, therefore they didn't change it ??
Hi Rand, I just use 87 octane because I'm not towing. I don't use a special filter, but I do use a Fumoto drain valve that I added in place of the normal drain bolt. I have no intentions of anyone else ever changing the oil, but I could see how a junior tech would be confused by a drain valve. I also have a Talons Garage cat protector plate so the tech would have to also remove the access hatch with 3mm allen bolts to get access to that drain valve. cheers
When you changed out your AGM battery which brand did you use and why? Also, did you replace the smaller 12V battery located under the rear passenger side seat at the same time? Have you seen any issues in your research with that smaller accessory battery?
Hi Michael I did a whole video on the replacement battery decision: th-cam.com/video/wVxYJUMkbNk/w-d-xo.html I did not replace the aux battery at that time; the only purpose of the aux battery is to stabilize the electronics during high-current engine cranking. I did not have any issues with instability like that, so I ignored it for now. I might test it a year or two down the line, especially if I see the control modules reset during cold weather or cold start events. cheers
Can you do a video on what tires youre running and a tire rotation tutorial with this truck
Hi Mark, I'm just running the stock Goodyear Wranglers and I fully expect to get 60K out of them. When I replace them, it will be with more of a street tire like the Michelin LTX which I've had good luck with in the past on other vehicles. Rotation? This is the only thing that I let the dealer do because I don't have the space or proper driveway to do this. (mine is too sloped) It's $20 which I think is reasonable for a 10 minute job. cheers
@fixorrepairdiy4609 ah ok, wow $10 that is very cheap! I'm at 31k miles with my 21 powerboost and i need to replace my tires already🤦🏽♂️i wasn't on top of alignment and rotation and they're bald on the outer edges
@@808Mark Well, it's $20. Which I think is still very reasonable after my FordPass service points ran out. One thing that I'm really careful about is my cornering speed. I used my motorcycle riding techniques and do most of my braking in a straight line so by the time I'm turning most of the speed has been scrubbed off. My tires have very little edge wear as a result. Alignment will also help prevent wear if that is off.
What about K&N filters for the air and cabin?
I’ve tried K&N filters in the past on different vehicles and have never noted any material gains in performance nor economy. I suppose you either completely buy into their story or you don’t. Cheers
I checked after watching this video and I didn't see drain plugs from femco or stahlbus for the f150 powerboost or 3.5 ecoboost.. looks like I'll just have to get a fumoto
Thanks Mark, I haven't looked to see if these were available for the F150. As an alternative you could add a "plug" at the end of the Fumoto nipple if you wanted a fail-safe. I might look into doing this. And I have never heard of a Fumoto just "letting go" and dumping oil, so I'm sure you'll be fine. Make sure that you order the one that's in my link, as the threads will match, and the long nipple will help. cheers
@@fixorrepairdiy4609 ok sounds good, I'll order through your link in a month or so🤙🏽
Great review! PowerBoost is my next engine of choice.My current ride is a 19' F150 with 3.5 Ecoboost. Its been a great truck.The PowerBoost just has so much more versatility. You mentioned you didnt like the unladen ride of your truck.I felt the same way ,but took the advice of others and swapped my factory shocks for Bilstein 5100s.Problem solved,truck way more planted empty,especially on rough roads
Thanks Jason, appreciate the info on the shocks.
thank you both. I got a 2021 Lariat second hand that came fitted with Mikey ... Baha tires. the ride Esp. as a passenger is very bouncy, rough and unpleasant (compared to my 2 SUVs fitted with Michelin defenders). may have need to upgrade shocks per ur experience. love all else on this truck!
@@servejesus4980 I'd swap those shoes out for Michelin LTX. That will be my next tire, if I ever wear out these Goodyear Wranglers. (sure is easy to spend someone else's money lol)
@@servejesus4980 it made a huge difference to my 19 Lariat SuperCrew
@@fixorrepairdiy4609 money well spent,even my friends said on washboard dirt road he couldn't keep up,prior to that the rear would be all over the place on rd like that
unloaded ride commenters I put Bilstein 6112's and 5100 on the backs last week.. That old 78 Lincoln ride is gone and it handles much betterer.. problem SOLVED!
Hey Rich I am up for anything that makes the ride more betterer! thanks for the suggestion. cheers
@@fixorrepairdiy4609 I set my 6112's for a 1.5 inch lift and got just over 1 inch because of how heavy these beasties are .just be aware of that if you do i t I HIGHLY recommend it tho because the factory ride is for crap IMHO! .. Way to soft and bouncy .. all my older F150's had a nice stiff ride..
I’m at two years and 83000 km or 50k
California insurance is literally double.
One of the reasons my parents left the state a long time ago. cheers....
Thanks a lot Joe Biden.
