I was tempted until B&P told me an XLT with extended range would be $75k. Eff that.

Great insight, thanks. I just wish the Lightning wasn't so danged expensive.

How long would the trip take with the Ram, and how much longer would it take with the Lightning -- recharging time? Serious question, I'm not trying do be a toolbag.

Makes sense....

I really wanted one of these. Then the B&P came out.

A+ for such a thorough write-up and tons of supporting pics. Thank you.

I'm really liking the Atlas Blue.

So, we all would like a Raptor, I reckon. But I'd consider these two non-towing considerations: 1. Parking. I work in downtown Pittsburgh ("dahntahn") and it's enough to park my F-150 XLT s-crew in a garage. With the extra width and height of a Raptor, I'd be very limited as to where I could...

I have the factory 20" Wranglers on my 2020 XLT FX4, and I have to admit, they've done great in the hilly snow & ice of southwestern PA, and on the soft sands of the Outer Banks. Pleasantly surprised.

Reminds me of this, one of my favorite ponderances:

REALLY nice video. I’m more interested in this than ever, to look into it when my 5.0 F-150 lease expires in 23 months.

I would have love to have seen the range before and AFTER that short hooning session. I swear when he first showed the range dial/indicator, that it was ever-so-slowly creeping down as he talked.

This is great information, thank you. I like that the mpg is similar BUT the 2.7 was 2wd and the PB is 4WD. Points to the PB. When my company returns to the office, I will resume driving on Pittsburgh’s parkways (emphasis on “park”), so I think in that environ, the PB would return better MPG...

I would love a PowerBoost F-150, but so far, on Fuelly I’m not seeing much difference in mpg between the 2.7 and the PowerBoost. I’d have a hard time justifying the price difference.

Hmmm….. that means with just one stop to “top off”, I should be able to get me & the family and a bed full of luggage/supplies from SW PA to the outer banks.

I have a 2020 F-150 screw FX4 with the 5.0… I’m tempted to look at the PowerBoost next time around, but so far I’m not seeing a big difference in MPG between that and the 2.7, in reviews and on Fuelly. Is yours 4WD? What is your normal terrain — mine is all hills. And, what MPG are you getting...

Yeah, nah. I do that drive several times a year, and my only stop is to piss. With my 36-gal tank I won’t even need to stop for fuel. I need to get there as quickly as reasonably possible. I don’t have the luxury of time to burn extra days or hotel fees lollygagging around.

For me, this is almost the perfect truck, as I don’t tow. But I do a few trips a year that would put me well past its range. So I still need to see improvements in range to at least 600 miles; or a saturation of very quick recharge stations. Almost there...

Have you had opportunity to check MPG in non-towing driving?

I wonder why the dealer wouldn’t do that? If I had to go aftermarket, the AMPs sound like the best bet. Any ballpark idea of what installation would run?
