Thanks Jack. Good to hear about that experience. Iāve researched the topic quite a bit ahead of placing my order and despite the many, many voices suggesting a 3/4 ton truck was the only way to go, Iām pretty convinced the 1/2 ton F150 will do just fine from a power and handling standpoint with...
Iāve not seen that documented anywhere either. I assumed the electric motor assisted the gas engine in tow haul mode just because the PowerBoost delivers a higher towing capacity than the EB version. If PB didnāt kick in while towing, how would it deliver that extra capacity? That was my...
Totally. There are those used cases of driving to remote destinations. But thereās also times where the extra range would just get you to your destination without a fuel stop.
My heart says yes but my mind is saying no... Cons to PowerBoost are reduced range and payload, pros are the built in...
Not really. We mostly set up our rig at campgrounds with services. Some boondocking here and there but mostly camp at fully outfitted sites.
Didnāt know about Rotopax. Nice little product. Will have to get me one of those.
Hit on payload and hit on range. Really like the generator idea and am managing payload by having ordered with basic options but the MPG/range is bugging me more and more.
This a great thread... I have Lariat PB 502 on order to tow my current and future Airstream (upgrading from 22 to 25). Truck has few options, affording me the payload I need. The question I have is more about range. Seems like:
1) The MPG when towing is lower than folks expected with the PB.
2)...
