- This is a 25,000 mile long term update on my 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid pickup truck. I also wanted to thank Megaohm Motorsports for the fuel door fix on these new F-150's. I will also have a MPG video coming soon talking about how it has performed over the life of the truck in the coming weeks.

Mind didn’t break but after watching other f150 owners I decided to change my fuel pin anyway
My billet broke 3 times already, so glad to come across this video and the fix.
The first tie mine broke I'd had the truck for a few weeks. NJ prohibits self-filling vehicles and a careless attendant knocked it off with the hose handle. It could not be found. It took months before I abandoned my dealership, ordered a replacement online from Lakeside Ford in Florida (and it's more than the door - it's the whole assembly), and took the part to another Ford dealership who charged me $340 to install it because it was broken by someone and uncovered. So I'm out $500 and a dealership. I bought this as soon as I could - finding the one in the replacement assembly already loose and ready to fail when I went to install it. Now it's solid as a rock and has been ever since. They did it the way Ford should have in the first place.
I just ordered both items from MegaOhm motor sports. Thanks for the great review. Your truck looks awesome.
Glad things are settling down for you Dan. I’m a little late catching up on videos. You’ve had a real nightmare with that truck. I must have the luck of the Irish; even with all the dozens of Ford and Chev trucks I lease and buy for personal and business, I’ve yet to experience any significant problems. Knock on wood!
Just order mine with the shim. Thanks for sharing, I lost mine about a year in a half ago, I have 67850 mile on my 21 Limited.
2021 Powerboost owner as well. I have experienced the plastic fuel door part as well. Thanks to your review I will order the aluminum. Currently I have 97k miles and the only issue was a rear break wheal seal and a transmission pressure sensor. So far it's been an exceptional truck.
Had mine for 17 months and it’s been flawless. Awesome work and play truck…way way better on fuel costs
Which model year?
Excellent review and because of your experience, I just ordered the billet fuel door pin. A no-brainer. My Powerboost F150 only has 85 miles on it. :)
Door pin was bad? or u just changed it bcuz he did it?
@@sslak3518 It's a weak design, so it can happen to anyone. It's more of a preemptive step.
I just got used 2021 F150 Lariat Powerboost. I went ahead and ordered the gas tank pin so hopefully I don't end up getting lock out of my gas tank. Lol.
Any other upgrades you recommend to prevent any factory part failures? I think I saw someone recommended a better air oil separator to help prevent carbon build up on the in the cylinders.
Your garage fan is something I want for my bedroom.😂
There a string under fender you can pull to open fuel door if it doesn’t open by inside button
Great info. I placed my order for 2024 powerboost King Ranch. Can't wait to drive it.
Big mistake if you’re planning on driving it past the lousy warranty
You’ll love the truck
@@RoyJones-qq3lowhy do you say that? What happened after the warranty expired?
I already like the fuel door replacement pin. 😎🍷🛻
What tires are you running on your F150?
30k on mine 2021XLT 302a only problem I had was driveshaft was rubbing on underbody fabric was my recall was cutting drive shaft they gave me a Rental for the week I only paid $50 for insurance but hey these vehicles are expensive if under warranty take advantage
Does the washer sit flat on the screw side of the pin? I am concerned about the backside of the plastic door not being flat wear the pin inserts.
Did your check engine light end up coming on. Flew out ordered part from megaohm sunday.
I see you have the amp power steps! I installed some on my 2018 Sierra and love them. They are the one motor design and I bought them slightly used from my friend for $700.00. He had them on his 2015 Silverado for about a year before GM did a lemon buy back for him.
Does anyone know where i can buy the rubber boot that goes over the fuel door pin?
I would love to talk with you about my 2022 f-150 lariat. I want to do some upgrades. It has 7,000 miles.
Hi, what are the dize of your tires? Is it lifted?
Wouldn’t that be covered under warranty? But I see it should be the long-term solution by using that product.
Also that dealer is give me very good discount of 10000 and I wonder why? Truck is sitting in the lot and dealer told me they charge the battery every so often while parked but don't drive to charge the battery? I thought Hybrid battery only charges on stop and go in the city? Truck has window sticker of Jan 2023.
Yeah, that's too many problems for a new vehicle. I'm with you on the pedestrian speaker delete. My neighbor has the same truck as you and the sounds are super annoying.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see where this guy responds to comments.
I have this same truck and have posted comments without response.
My truck has had two recalls to date but other than that no problems.
Leaving my truck factory.
This guys TH-cam channel has 27,094 comments on it. This guy is only one guy who also has a full time job, wife, daughter, and on the rarest occasions enjoys relaxing so sometimes I can’t get to them all.
Mine broke 2nd week! So far,this one is ok
Same🤦♂️
Wow I just realized how much I drive… I just hit a little over a year now (got truck August 22nd) of 2022. Now I’m at 22k miles 😅
‘19 3.5tt @3yrs & 93k
Phasers @ 59k
Did you tune it? If so who did you use? Also if you have a build list?
Does a tune affect the warranty?
Thank you for this. I'm on the fence about the Powerboost because I've read experiences of unreliability on the internet (Yes, that controversial internet). Perhaps you've explained in previous videos, but is the hybrid system worth it in your opinion? Thanks!
I bought a 2021 f150 platinum powerboost and despised that thing. The transmission is a disaster no matter how many times they reflash it or say “it’s a learning transmission, give it time!”
Traded it in for the new Sierra duramax and couldn’t be happier even though it has less bells and whistles. Drives WAY smoother. Less body rocking, way better MPG, smoother transmission even though it’s technically the same one in the ford. Way less issues too. I had a TON of stupid little problems with my f150
My pboost is best truck ive owned! Waaay better then my oil burner gm trucks
Best f150 I ever owned have owned 4 since 1988 model had each 8 years or more never a problem power on this truck is unreal
Have question if u do not mind I have same trek as u except mine is a 22 limited with the 22in wheels I AND ALL I WANT IS TO LEVEL 2 IN AND THEY DO NOT REC DOING IT BECAUSE OF ALL WIRES BUT IF I can find one that will woRK I WILL PRAOB GO DOWN TAO A 20 WHEEL AND PUT 285 ON CAR HAS blue cruiser and all the other safety. What you take
Bob,
I just installed the bilstein adjustable 5100’s on my 22 powerboost. No issues at all with install I chose to use the 1.5” setting and with the heavier truck I got about 1-1/4” of lift. There is a bracket on the passenger side that needs to be moved (bent) up out of the way to get to one of the strut mount nuts. If you have either a 3/4” or 18mm gear ratchet, its a piece of cake. Ride is much more composed with the bilsteins at all four corners.
@@Goingforbroke71 I was going to do Bilsteins on my 2021 was advised the ride is more composed, etc. I held off as they were on back order of about eight months - way back when.
@@LandParkColby
I received mine the next day after ordering. Just returned from 500 mile trip and couldn’t be happier with the ride quality.
whats the mpg your seeing?
I have a 21 PB and I’m averaging 640 DTE every fill up on 30 gallons
A 60k plus truck with a plastic pin for the fuel door, back not so long ago when trucks were half this price, that same part most likely would've been made out of metal, which wouldn't have broken to begin with, strange how double the price equates to less quality.
Is breaking my heart that my decked out lariat is having major transmission issues with 23k miles. Has been in and out of the dealer and next step is full replacement. Love the truck, but also hate spending any time at the dealer and having to mess with it. Have been considering a Sierra or tundra as replacement. 🤷🏼♂️, hope eventually these manufacturers can figure their stuff out
That is terrible to hear. Any word on what the specific transmission issue is?
@@GearsGadgets they haven’t said anything about a specific issue. When they replaced the valve body they just said they’ve been having to do a lot of them and it’s just a bad design, which seems strange. Next step is replacement
I just got my truck back after having the valve body replaced at just over 7k miles. It still feels off. I love the truck but I’m debating on getting rid of it if it’s going to keep having transmission issues like this.
@@xKillXahBx I traded on a Sierra. I was really split as I really liked my f150 and had some regrets about not just getting a new trans after. But man, the gmc is smooth compared to the f150. I got in my f150 to drive home and it just felt sort of gutless compared because of how the transmission is geared.
Did you get the Sierra? If so, what trim/engine? I'm on the fence between several trucks: f150, Sierra, or Tundra.
Issue I have is I can't pass inspection because the port isn't communicating with the computer
WHAT!!!! How is that even possible?!? I would have to imagine that would be covered under powertrain since it’s such an integral part of the system?
@@GearsGadgets I'm out of warranty. I had 4 different scans and a software update and no connection. I have to bring it in to a technician to see what's going on. I don't even know how long I've had this issue since this is my first inspection. The first 2 years are covered
Thanks for the info on the pin. It is because of such details poorly designed (not manufactured) explains one of the many the quality issues Ford has not yet addressed. 65 days at dealers garage for all sorts of reasons are good reasons for me to refrain from purchasing this truck. So many error messages, unbelievable. In another couple of years GM, Stellantis and others along with Toyota will have their type of power boost hybrid, and Fords F-150 power boost uniqueness will fade.
Well, Toyota came out with their hybrid now and it is a dud. Mileage bad. What a shame. I am looking for hydrogen powered to take hold.
I like tech as much as the next guy. I would just much rather have a "dumb" vehicle, over one with a very complicated computer system.
Good luck finding one they are going for a premium as so many people are over this new JUNK. I work at a Porsche dealership in FL. I’ve owned over 70 cars at 27 so far. Trust me I know
Ford cannot design a fuel filler door to save their lives. My 2012 had filler door issues too. It’s insane that a decade later they can’t get it together.
I have the 2021 powerboost sport 4x4. All stock, not 1 problem at 36,000 miles STOCK. With you doing all the upgrades, is probably the problem. 28.5 MPG in eco mode at 65 MPH
I never got anywhere close to 20 anything sustained even before any mods were done. I am 1000% convinced anyone getting upper 20’s is hypermiling everywhere and never getting above 55 mph on the highway combined with trusting their estimated MPG displayed on dash without manually calculating. In terms of other problems, that all happened before anything was done to the truck in terms of modifications.
@@GearsGadgets Yea, i never got the rated mpg on my power-boost lariat 6.5 bed. I can get city MPG rating of 24 if its 30-35 mph zones for a trip over 20-30 min. Highway you can only get 21-22mpg if you drive 55-60 mph anything past 65 mph the RPM goes pretty high and u get 18-20 mpg. Although, I have around 300-400lbs of crap at the back.
2022 power boost 30 k miles No issues No problems ,mpg 20-25 , the 7.2 generator powers my RV and then some , towing mpg 12-14 Of course all is relative, THE best dam truck I've owned period.
Lol. Yeah, mines broken three times. On another note do not buy the power boost hybrid. I love my 21 King Ranch power boost but they had to give me a new one because the first one stopped working then the one I’ve had two years has broken down twice. Leave lunch the perfectly good truck won’t start. The second time it took them a month to fix it. Yes, a month.very unreliable. No clue how I’m gonna do work trips anymore. By the regular version not the hybrid.
This one I mentioned has Nov 22 sticker there is another one with 9000 discount and sticker of Jan 23 ? Pls Vote. Thanks
I heard 21 have more problems. What about 2023 Hybrid? I don't want to go to dealers to fix small problems Or I can just buy gas 4.5l engine ? Pls Vote. I am buying in 2 days. I don't drive much and work from home so it's not like I will spend lot of money on gas but City driving charges the battery fast that's why I was buying it ?
I have a 2022 F-150 powerboost lariat..... It's been a bit frustrating. Separately, both rear hub assemblies have had issues needing to be replaced causing the truck to be out of services for a combined total of 2 months. Exhaust to coolant heat exchanger needed to be replaced, Screen/audio/camera/bluetooth issue that took 6 months to get fixed making it practically impossible to have phone connected or use audio in truck
I've driven nothing but Toyotas for a long time and I've been trying to be open-minded as I'm in the market for a new truck but watching videos like this where you've had all these issues at 25,000 mi it's just kind of unacceptable when you pay so much for a vehicle.
My 21 f150 powerboost just broke the rear differetial in pieces 😖😖😖
I’ve been driving nothing but Ford and Chev trucks for 45 yrs and every now and then I look at the Toyota Tundra in the spirit of keeping an open mind. I always, including in the last month, come away disappointed in their offerings. I find no compelling reason to switch from the great service my domestic trucks have provided both for personal and commercial use.
Each to their own I suppose….
I’ve owned more Toyotas than anything else. As reliable as my Toyotas have been, my most unreliable car was also a Toyota. It was a first year model, and I believe this guys truck is a first year model too. I didn’t have mine in the shop as long, but as it became evident is was going to be a problem child I ditched it.
Enjoy those new taco and tundra issues. F150 still best selling truck period. I believe The truck in this video was the first year it was offered. And I believe this is also during the time of the covid nonsense. So parts were delayed and trucks set for a little bit of time for repairs. Now would I buy a power boost and keep it for 200,000 miles, no. I'd buy the 5.0 and keep it for that long. My first truck is going to be a power boost it's currently on order and it's a lease.
@@SNBI2A best selling means absolutely nothing also your commenting on a comment that I made a year ago You have no idea what I drive or if I bought anything different or if I've had any issues with vehicles that I've had in the past and you're just talking shit it's hilarious
CAUTION: 1. If you make a diy repair to your vehicle while it's under warranty...that part...potentially...is no longer under warranty.
2. If you disable stock/oem/required/mandated safety equipment on a vehicle, YOU have taken on FULL liability for any issues that arise. If you hit someone or hit another vehicle or if a vehicle hits you while in reverse, you are mega-liable, AND your insurance may not cover the incident as you willingly disabled a safety device.
How is this part in any way a safety piece? This part being a two piece part is more then likely manufacturing cost cutting and simplification.
I'm glad you have most things sorted out. Still you seem to have a lot of problems with that truck. And, you are not alone - I know a lot of people who have had a lot of problems with modern F-150s. I'm sorry to say (but I appreciate the honesty), your videos are far from a ringing endorsement of the quality of a Ford Truck.
I mean, it's been in the shop how long? You had to change the thermostat and the pin for the fuel door? That screams "poor quality".
I would guess the thermostat issue had nothing to do with the thermostat and everything to do with some leftover air in the cooling system from the previous repair
I have less problem in my German cars than this American truck! Four shoe tank to fanboys for continuous support for their plastics!
That truck needs a 6” lift kit!
MAYBE a BDS 4” max in my future. I would never go 6” lift on a half ton truck, just doesn’t look right IMHO unless you are running a diesel 2500 or bigger.
4” would look good with those tires! I’m going 6” on my Trail Boss Dmax with some 37’s!
Seems like a promo video by the producer for a product likely paid for
lol it’s WAY easier to accuse me of lying than it is to go and watch all of my videos on this truck which are still live today sharing the absolutely MISERY I had in the early days. Obviously a giant brand would pay me sacks of cash for one positive video without stipulation to remove the older negative ones right? Ohhhh the beautiful people of the internet. Be better Rick.
25 is not long term.
post at 100.
You can’t get to 100,000 without first passing 25,000. Part of a long term review is sharing the intervals of getting there and all of the problems as they happen. With the overwhelming majority of TH-cam content being created on low mileage press fleets, or one year of ownership before flipping for tax write offs, 25,000 miles is as unheard of as a million.
@@GearsGadgetsagreed! Don’t listen to mindless idiots and continue letting us know your experience. I want a 3.5 Powerboost but I’m waiting to see if Ford has remedied their timing chain/phazer issues on these 6 cylinder engines.
Come on 25000 miles ? It should be perfect . Talk to me at 125000. They are overpriced turds . I’ve owned them for 20 years . My current 2020 is the last Ford for me . Absolute junk and shitty warranty
What would you get instead now to replace your current?
