Thanks so much for the insight and spreading this wealth of knowledge around. Its a shame Ford still advertises the OTA feature when it doesn't work for so many customers.
Actually the info on being up to date was from Ford support center. My dealer told me that if any updates needed, they would be applied over the air. Its been about a week now and no OTA updates have happened. I wonder why so many if in fact OTA is really working?
I just got my truck back from dealer after a long wait for a gateway module. I have never had any OTA updates since truck was new and was a job1 build. I have had plenty of glitchy software issues. Ford now says I am up to date on software and I don't believe it. My VIN is 1FTFW1ED5MFB13620...
Yes it is a JOB 1 build date of 02/17/21. I have had the Apim then the TCU, and now they say gateway module, but the tcu caused problem and it wont start so they gave me a loaner. No ETA as of yet and yes I have a couple of open escalations . I was blaming the techs being new to FRDS and Hybrid...
I took my new f150 PB to dealer for some minor problems with myview resetting randomly and sync 4 radio loosing channel memory in OCT 2021. They had it two days and told me they performed a couple of TSBs and was ready to pickup. After I picked it up My Ford Pass no longer worked and message...
Thank you Fordphanatic. I have had my truck into the dealer 4 times now for sync issues and each time my problems are worse. I wish Ford would train their service folks with this new technology. I now dont have ford pass working anymore and lost my navigation abilities. Im not sure what I can do...
Im having lots of issues with sync 4 and OTA updates (none) and my truck is 10 months old. Can someone that has access look up my VIN to see what updates I am missing? thanks in advance

I can't seem to find if the F150 powerboost 4x4 is able to be flat towed in the Ford towing guide. The Hybrid is not listed at all. Has anyone done it or have researched any information about it?
Thanks for any info.

I found that this link doesn't exist anymore. Here is the reason from Ford.
Thank you for you inquiry. We were testing a Towing/Payload Calculator located within the Ford Fleet Live website. These tools were initially designed to be piloted to a small group of Ford Commercial Customers for a...
I don't think the propower units in the PB 150's are generators per se. They are inverters that are using the high voltage battery and are charged with a generator that is also the electric motor. The propower does produce a true sine wave output. Here is a link that explains it from Ford...
Yes, I think that would work if it had good strain relief at or near the trucks power box. I think you would need some type of water proof cap at the tt 30r receptacle thou.
Ha Ha, I just noticed that the receptacle box link I last posted says its for a electrical car generator. 2021 f150 PB is about the only electrical car generator I know of. ;)
Thanks for the information on the panel. Looks easy to mount a weather proof receptacle close to the rear of the power panel in the fenderwell/rear bumper area. It would be a short run by piggy backing a 3 wire 10g jumper from inside the power panel to the receptacle box like this one...
Well it was over 90 degrees here in SOCAL today so I thought I would do a little generator testing and used my motorhome. Its a 2000 Southwind with two 12,500BTU A/C's on the roof with a 30 amp 110 line for the Converter and AC power. The AC units have a control so that they won't start at the...
Thanks for the great writeup. I am curious how often and at what power demand levels did the engine fire up to recharge the battery during generator mode?
Sold my '16 F150 yesterday and now I'm getting my garage queen out for a couple of weeks until my PB gets here. It's an '05 with a supercharged LS2 and a 6speed.
OK OK, I think I get it now that I have read all the comments and all the work that you have put together Boiler. I do need to remove my tow tech package and add the trailer tow option as all the tow tech stuff is in it. I thought it odd when I added the tow tech package and it reduced the...
Thanks boiler. I think trailer tow is included without having to add it to the config. When I pick the hybird option and then select the 4
Thanks Boiler for your input. When I select the 4x4 option after selecting the Hybrid power train, it says that trailer tow is also added with the 4x4...
