    I drive a 2021 F-150 with powerboost and 7.2 kW pro power onboard. It is currently in my driveway powering my house. It has been sending power to my house since Hurricane Beryl came through Monday and we wait for power to be returned. My truck has 98,000 miles and runs like the day it was new. Thanks for the comparison. Love my Ford.

  • @jamesparkerjr5539

    My experience has made me a huge proponent of the PowerBoost. My 2017 was the first year of the gen 2 3.5 ecoboost with 10 speed combo, and since I've now had a 2021 PowerBoost for 50k. My lifetime fuel economy over 2 years, 21k on the 3.5 was just over 17 mpg. My PowerBoost has stayed around 21 mpg, which I consider a significant improvement. And now that they are crediting the msrp on all PowerBoost, making it the same price as the 3.5, I think it's a great pick.

      This. Once you drive the PB a bit you start to get mpg in the 20’s. It takes getting that 1.5kw battery charged up consistently. The biggest Giveaway for me was Ben sitting at the light and the truck was idling. On a typical daily driver you’re 100% on electric at a light. Both great options. Love my V8’s, but PB is definitely an eye opener though…

It doesn't like the wind in the SW though at interstate speeds (more like 15-18 mpg if it is really windy crosswind or headwind, and obviously slowing down a little would help).

    the introduction to this comparison proves the point ive been trying to make for years. a smaller motor is more fuel efficient sitting on a test bench, but when its having to work harder to pull the same truck that the larger v8 motor does with less effort... the end result is identical fuel economy. the only thing they managed to do with these smaller motors is create a more complex engine with more potential failure points. stick with the old tried and true 5.0 V8 or get yourself a diesel.

    I just recently picked up a ‘24 STX 4x4 with the 5.0 and don’t regret it one bit. I don’t care if it’s not the most fuel efficient. I wanted a simple naturally aspirated engine that I feel fairly confident will live a long happy life with minimal issues. I don’t feel that way about anything forced induction. That being said, my 5.0 still knocks down 23-24 mpg cruising down the highway at 73 mph and is the only one that sounds like a truck should.

  • @Skillstad1965
    @Skillstad1965 5 месяцев назад +2

    Thumbs down for me because the second most important thing after the size of the engine is the gear ratio. Ford makes about 5 different gear ratios. That being said, certain motor sizes only get paired with certain gear ratios. In 2016 I had a brand new Lariat with 5.0 liter and 3.55 gear ratio. A little less pulling power but I was satisfied with my fuel mileage. If you are not pulling a trailer 3.55 & 3.31 will be better on fuel, 3.73 and 4.10 will be better for pulling trailer but use more fuel.

      Another great review! Tough call. As an RVer that tows a small camper and might tow a 5,000 lb camper in my future, I would love to have the Power Boost with the 7.2kw ProPower onboard generator. But, it is one of the most unreliable trucks on the market in that configuration. Thus, for tow duty, I would probably choose the V8. If I knew I was going to keep my small camper, I would stay with the more efficient, but sporty 2.7EB. But, bottom line, Ford offers lots of capability, engineering, and technology in their trucks, but they are not reliable enough and customer satisfaction is not good.

    I just upgraded from a 2019 3.5 to a 2024 Powerboost. If you do nothing but get on the Powerboost, you will get the gas mileage shown in the video. I do love to get on my Powerboost when needed and it is very torquey! If you drive it normally, you get close to the stated gas mileage. I get 21mpg on the average. I've seen some people get significantly higher if you use the braking coach and drive it with the intent to get the best gas mileage. I don't notice the spooling that is stated (I get immediate response) except the first couple of miles when it is cold; and that has gotten much better with the 2024 vs the 2019. I got a rebate since it is a "hybrid", so it wasn't much of an increase in price over the regular 3.5. I also like the fact that I can use it as a generator if ever needed. I really love my Powerboost.

    You knew what his verdict would be from the second he stepped into that V8. I've heard over two decades of V8 sounds from the same truck. It was a rocket, and I loved it. Now that I'm older I care about efficiency, reliability, and power - all practical, useful things. Sounds be damned. In fact, the quieter, the better. Figured the Ecoboost has become enough of a proven platform over its generations and that hybrid tech might make a good thing even better for at least 2/3 of my criteria. I'm very nice to a vehicle; so, a month ago I thought I'd give the PB a chance to prove its reliability in the form of an XLT. We'll see how it all shakes out. So far, I'm just having a blast with this thing.

    Why is this a surprise? There is no replacement for displacement. The 5.0 is even more practical when you have rapidly changing elevations and the turbos work harder. The simplicity of the 5.0 will definitely relate to superior reliability. 1 or 2 mpg is not worth stepping down to an Ecoboost.

      I had a 6.2 and the 3.5 ecoboost is better overall when you factor in low end torque and fuel mileage. 6.2 has much worse low end than you would expect and fuel mileage isn't so great until it's tuned.
      I may change my tune if the ecoboost doesn't hold up well for me past 150k.

      @@CJColvin superduty is meant for heavy duty, things like towing heavy, so it needs more displacement because squeezing more power out of a smaller displacement makes a less reliable engine esp when being used in a heavy duty application where it’s constantly being overstressed. The eco boost isn’t used in the mustang because muscle car people will always prefer V8s due to their linear power and sound and because muscle cars are a subculture which stipulates that v6 engines are inherently less cool, less manly, less “muscle car” than v8. The eco boost is still a great engine and has its benefits over the 5.0.

    Your test loop isn’t going to give accurate data. First of all, they all didn’t have much time to come up to normal operating temp. Cold engine ms always burn lots of fuel. Also, the efficiency of the turbo engines is better when you drive smoothly. Let the torque pull you up the hill or accelerate vs. pushing it till it downshifts. The NA V8 is a rev happy engine and is not the best for towing.
    I’ve had the 2.7 and it was a great little engine. Good economy with 21.6 all around average over 3 years. I now have the PowerBoost and will tell you I’m getting 23.8 average over 3 years. It’s only getting better. I monitor and calculate my mileage every fill up with Fuelly app, and I’ve also calibrated my mpg computer to within.2-.4 mpg. 5k mile oil changes with high quality oil, regular maintenance, and smooth driving makes this the best power train for a 1/2 ton pickup.
    I also have the 5.0 coyote in my 20 Mustang GT. It’s also very economical on the highway but not so much when stop and go driving is involved.
    If you were driving long distances and not towing or hauling too much the 5.0 is a good engine. Just forget about it if it’s going to do all city and lots of stop and go.
    My choices are 3.5 hybrid, 2.7, 5.0, and 3.5 in that order.

    Your test is why off the Powerboost over greater distance gets much better mileage then any of the other powertrains. You need to do like a 100 mile loop of just doing normal driving no quick acceleration in the test. You also need to put them into the eco modes for the test to be valid. The short distance in this test is very flawed you need a set route as close to same for each vehicle and you doing the same thing. If you did a longer drive and more complete test like TFL did you would see the Powerboost is way better in a mileage test.

      There is more stopping power in the Powerboost, as it combines the engine brake, the mechanical brakes, and the regen brakes. Not as much as an HD with the 7.3 or the Diesel (they have much bigger brakes and much more displacement), but more then the 5.0. Not a huge difference though, so both will tow and control a trailer equally well.
