I ordered one in Feb2021. First time buying a vehicle that wasn't sitting in the lot. Still waiting for it :(. But I'm super excited. I went in aiming for the V8 5.0 or even a super duty 7.3 and was like "Hybrid... bah". After I tried every engine, I said "well can't skimp and not try them all" and tried the Powerboost. I was blown away with the performance. When I was pulling out of the dealer for a test run, being able to move it on battery only was cool, not sure how long it can go on battery only before the gas kicks in. If that electric engine is a foreshadowing of what the electric f150 is going to be like, things will be exciting. Hopefully they can get a 500 range capacity. The price point was a hit, but the way I look at it and eventually reasoned to myself, this will probably be the last gas vehicle I'm going to buy. Like you said, has space everywhere (for a family), the work table in the console and the bed, good tow rating, 7200 W inverter was a big +, I look forward to using power tools for working on things away from a house outlet. I hope the batteries will last a while and if not will be replaceable fairly easily. Hopefully they don't go down the road of being proprietary like Tesla. I also hope the Turbos last. I was seeing some people installing a oil separator / catch can so oil particles don't get fed back into the intake. Sounds like it shouldn't be too big of an issue with port and direct injection. Final thoughts, I feel Ford went out on a limb to push the envelope trying to give the best of all worlds (Gas - Turbo - Electric - Tech - Function) in this model and succeeded. Time will tell if it holds up over time like other models.

I have been designing a Ford Transit AWD Cargo Van CONVERSION to a Overland Rig for the last 18 months. All my hard work got thrown out the window when I learned of the F150 Powerboost option of 7.2Kw generator. I can only own one vehicle and I am willing to give up a tall roof van that I can stand up in , and a lot of storage space and interior capability a van gives you ; for the ability to run my New England residence during a power outage ( snow or ice storm ) or go cross country traveling and and sleep in a tent yet be able to power virtually any electric device I carry with me or I walk into a Walmart and purchase while on the road ( space heater , refrig , slow cooker , chain saw , air compressor etc etc etc ) An AWD van conversion may be a better place to sleep while on the road , put the capabilities / potential of a 7.2Kw generator on the road are ENDLESS imo

I had a dream of converting a Transit too but I must admit the idea of having a slide-in camper makes more sense. First thing being that if for a reason your engine blows up or anything major, you're not gonna lose the investment that you put in the back of your van. You just put the camper on another truck! Now with a truck like that it makes even more sense! The lightning could be cool too but I don't think the range is enough for what I plan to do like camping in the rockies in the middle of winter...

@@Daniel-ux8tx The Power Boost is very capable off road. The Raptor can go over rougher terrain because it is taller and comes with more egressive tires. It has better shocks to handle high speed jumps. The Power Boost fits in more places because it's not as wide or tall.The Power Boost is faster than the Raptor with it's 570#ft compared to Raptors 510#ft of torque . The 80% rule says you should buy for your 80% use I used the 80% rule to replace my Raptor with the Platinum Power Boost. I was having issues with my truck and Ford allowed this under the lemon law buy back program. The Platinum Power Boost rides very quiet and smooth , gets 24 MPG and is the fastest factory F-150 to date, However after 6 weeks of ownership, I have come to realize that 80% of my use was just knowing I owned a Raptor which put a smile on my face each time I looked at it. It's like the women who wear thoese red bottom spike heel shoes. Sneakers would be a more practical fit but they buy Prada. Last week I placed a deposit for first 2022 Raptor allocation my local dealer gets and will be trading in the 2021 Platinum. What's your 80% use ?

@@douglasfernandez7996 Hey Douglas-I appreciate your response, very thorough and helpful. I test drove the Platinum Powerboost and it put a very big smile on my face….more than the 2021 Raptor on 35” did when I test drove it, actually. The Plantinum was smoother, more comfortable, swifter (no turbo lag) and just a better on-pavement experience, which is ‘golden’ for daily driving. However, I understand that’s not where the Raptor was designed to shine. It’s for high speed dirt stuff, and high speeds on dirt is where it is more comfortable. My 80% will definitely be on the road….BUT, when on the trails, ground clearance and agility in tight spaces is my 100%. I think the F150 Tremer may be the better non-raptor option with the torque on demand transfer case and Torsten limited slip up-front, trail-turn assist, and other off-road features. IF the Platinum PB can be on 35s” and add a front locker AND still be under warranty, then it’s torque and generator makes it that more desirable for the off-road tighter trails and overlanding I’m seeking. I do love it, but when off-roading in tougher terrain, where safety matters 100% of the time…its comforts can be worse than a broken red 6” heal on my leather Prada’s :-)

Good video. Worth the watch. A couple Pro Power Onboard questions. Can you run the Power Onboard without turning the engine over, or must the engine be on and running? And if so, for how long? In your example, full tank of gas, full 7.2 kwh, 32 hours of electric use, does that mean there will be no more gas left? I'm wondering about the trade off, if I'm out overlanding well away from a gas station, I'd hate to use so much gas that I can't get back to fill up? Oh, and how long could the battery run if fully charged but no more gas in the tank, or could it? Other related to this? Thanks.

Nice video thanks! The Powerboost is an awesome rig! My problem is that I need at least 2000 pound payload. I have not seen a yellow sticker in any Powerboost to date over 1750....most are well below 1600. So you are incorrect about payload of 2k unless you order one without tires and a steering wheel. So off to an F150 crew with HDPP and an honest 2400 pounds of payload capability. Maybe next time Ford.

So you have the leave the vehicle "on" for that, but the reason "on" is in quotation marks is because the engine is not always on. The HVAC is all electric. So it can run off the hybrid battery and recharge as needed. Now for myself, I'd rather the motor either be on or off... I think sleeping in it and feeling the motor kick on and off periodically would screw with my sleep. Either a steady hum amd vibration of it on or the silence and stillness of it off would be preferable to cycling.
