I literally go over my new vehicles detail oriented. I’m on my back under the vehicle, I use a sun light to inspect the paint, I’m looking everywhere in the interior in the engine bay. Minimum 1 hour. But I’ve been an aircraft mechanic for 20 years so attention to detail is in my frame of mind. Everything I find is documented and owed to me. Take your time and inspect your vehicle folks.
They should’ve kept the diesel option for those of us who drive mostly highway. People were getting 25 mpg all day and 27-30 when they cruise it.
I have a 2022 F150 super crew King Ranch powerboost in anti-matter blue on order. As for your truck, the truck with that paint flaw should’ve never left the factory!
Right! I was very disappointed but thankfully everything else has been great and I love the truck
The issue I see besides being not broken in is that you were driving with the AC on which always hurts gas mileage.
I didn’t even consider that! Thanks I’ll try without ac to see if it makes a difference
I have a 2021 Lariat eco boost since April and have no issues. It could and might at some point but nothing so far. It all depends on what you like and think is best after your own research.
Other than the paint the truck itself has been amazing
We are still using winter gas, summer gas is coming and mpg will be better I have the exact same truck, color and options. I am currently getting about 20mpg in town, 22 hwy. (speed limit driving) my issues have been, Apple car play sync up sometimes clitchy, the wireless charger works only when phone is not in a case and must be as far to the passenger side as possible and even then it’s a slow charge. I am disappointed in the towing mpg. I just towed a 2k trailer across country and back (6k miles) and averaged 14 mpg hwy. This truck is crazy comfortable. With massage seats, semi autonomous driving and the seat and suspension comfort I did 800-1000 miles a day no problem while towing at speed limit to 5 under, day after day, no stiffness or pains (and I am 60 with recent back surgery and shattered pelvis! ) This is a road trip monster! As for the pimple, Yea, I would not be happy. I have good news and bad news for you on the paint. Bad: pearl paint is almost impossible to match or blend, at some angle or another it won’t match because you have to have the exact same amount of pearl and metallic flake as original and have the paint sprayed at exact same air pressure. Good news: it’s the hood so it is a horizontal panel next to vertical panels (fenders) that will hide any minor differences IF painted by a good painter and the entire hood is painted. You can’t spot paint and blend pearl paint
Wow I had no idea there was a difference in seasons for gas! Yes the charger is very hit or miss but I’ll try to push it to the passenger side thanks! Agree the truck is incredibly comfortable I can drive around the country with this thing. Once I get it back finally from paint I can enjoy mine with you
I have the same issues w/ Apple carplay along with the infotainment system in general - that being said - now it works great and usually goes back to where I originally left it when I turn the truck off. In my research, the AI built into the screens, etc. learns where you want the settings over time - it does work! Also, the carplay is in general not the truck, but the phone and software working to sync back up. All in all, I cannot imagine going back to 2002 as far as this truck is concerned.
My buddy is a retired paint body work guy ,always said for was and still is worst for dirt in paint.
Yikes! 😩
Very cool truck but it’s still a Ford. There’s literally no quality control where they build those things.
Reset your trip computer before you start your roadtrip, I noticed it said 7 hours on the current one which is why the mpg is that low.
Okay cool I’ll try that! Thanks
You can’t judge the mileage yet you gotta go for a long long road trip to get it. My 2.7 ecoboost gets me 26 on the highway on a long road trip it’s very good.
300 miles is a long road trip
@@anne_n_nimity not when the truck isn’t broken in yet
@@timschultes6467 300 miles is a long road trip even before you buy the truck 😅
Good point Tim, I realized it did get significantly better over time I’m averaging close to 25mpg
@@ramolifee that’s good 👍🏻
Did you fix that creaking noise? Mine does that too on the front passenger side.
Yes I literally popped the cover off and reinstalled it and it went away. No screws just plastic pins holding it in
@@ramolifee Mine makes the same squeaky sound on the driver's side.
I believe the EPA estimates the MPG's based off of the highest gear at the lowest RPM it can run.
I see, I’ve finally averaged 24mpg if not more driving lightly
@@ramolifee i think its just becuase the engine has to get "broken in" it wasnt used much so after a while the mpg will improve as you saw with yours its very hard to explain but i think you get it
@@skyshade9106 right that’s exactly what it was! Glad it worked out lol
I have had my 2021 for a week now - 1000 miles - I got 22 on first tank and about 24.5 on second tank. Even though these are "ready to go", you have to let it get broken in a bit before you go too far with the mileage complaints. I will tell you that driving into the wind will definitely lower you MPG, but overall you should get in the low to mid 20s without a problem. Now, let me say - you have to be fairly conservative to get those numbers, no stomping on the gas - going 80, etc. the mileage just won't happen. But easy city and steady freeway 70 to 75 and 24 MPG is easy. Highway can even be higher. I have heard of issues with the paint, mine is very good. I am very happy with this truck -
Congrats on your truck. You’re absolutely right the mpg has definitely come around now and it’s really at your own pace of how well it’ll do. I like the ability to get great gas mileage lol I love this thing too
You are right about being conservative with the throttle to get best mpg. On my Ford explorer if I want to conserve fuel I engage cruise control when I reach 25 mph and set it to max 65 mph if on highway. One thing I like about the F150 you guys have is you can engage the cruise control at 15 mph minimum, and it has the adaptive cruise for traffic jam driving too!
There is no way you are going to get 24 mpg driving 70-75 with a F-150 PowerBoost... it just ain't going to happen, unless the trip is downhill.
@@TheSchleeb I do get 24 at 70, but don't use cruise control seems to get lower ... also use 91 octane, not sure why better? With 87 seems to be around 21/22. What mileage to you get with your PB??
@@LandParkColby 91 octane does absolutely nothing to the gas mileage. All it does is preventing a pre ignition in the high compression engines.
Just picked my 3.5 eco nonpowerboost up today and got 24.3 MPG over the course of 265 miles
Wow that’s awesome!
Don't trust the "electronic" number you are getting. The only way to get a real number is fill it up... drive it... fill it up. THEN calculate your mileage.
I agree but this is a Apple to Apple cause it’s the method the author used as well.As time goes by I bet that power boost is going to be a bust gaining minimal MPG with additional repair cost down the road good luck!
Your mileage will improve over time, but going 80mph what do you expect? I had a Toyota corolla and the mileage sucked at 80mpg. The hood defect sucks. If my truck ever arrives I'll be inspecting it thoroughly and have the dealership document any defects. They'll come good for it, but it might take a while.
Right hopefully it will improve overtime. The defect is what’s really bothering me, definitely be sure to do a thorough inspection of your truck. Dealing with Ford hasn’t been easy so far videos coming soon
@@ramolifee Looking forward to them!
Please note your mileage will increase After your vehicle is broke in. at least a couple a thousand miles !
Thanks man! I didn’t know that, I’ll continue to track it 👍
John is correct
I'm shocked at the mpg and the pimple. I've been really torn between this ride and the Ram Limited. Just cant make up my mind.
Right! I will say outside of that the truck is amazing. Maybe I just had some bad luck on mine
Go Ram bro.. Better ride slightly better interior .. air ride suspension.. Bullet Proof ZF 8 speed.. that ford 10 speed is about to be recalled ..
@@derekfoxjr2499 why is the 10speed Tran getting so much heat?
@@derekfoxjr2499 man, I like the horizontal screen on the Ford a lot more than the vertical and it's hard to argue with the fuel economy of that hybrid. It sounds like a shop vac but it's fast as F. Other than those two things the Ram wins in most other categories.
@@jasonhiggins605 Yeah it's fast as hell but it makes you think out of all the high pressure, torque And innovation of the hybrid..how long would it hold up.. longevity is the question.. the 10 speeds are already getting ate up .. overheating and failing at 6k... 10k 20k miles.. Idk that horizontal has a bland look especially with the ford software looks outdated and primitive.
expecting good mpg at 80mpg, yeah right. on your hood, looks like to me someone shut the hood on top of something.
Did you buy the truck or just review it.
Bought the truck
@@ramolifee nice, just wondering what country are you from
@@baselqashou5716 America 🇺🇸
Was signing the paperwork on my limited powerboost and salesman comes in and says there was a problem with the paint. We walked out and under the lights the entire passenger side had faulty paint, (silver color did not appear to have enough sprayed on as you could see lighter color underneath the silver, at an angle view). Declined the purchase and fortunately they had an identical one without the lay flat seats, which I purchased the following day, (come to find out wife and I like the way the regular seats feel much better, so that worked out). Have had the truck almost three months now. If you want the high mileage 24-28mpg you can get it driving in 45-55mph range. The electric will kick in periodically increasing mileage.
Have to say though ,I absolutely LOVE the truck. Mechanically everything is working so perfectly im just waiting for "Murphy" to mess something up.
Traded a 2019 platinum v8 in on this and there is no comparison between the two trucks. This one is pure pleasure to drive.
Wow! Lucky they had another there! This one was so hard for me to find and when I did I made it just in time with some others there trying to buy it as well lol thanks for the mpg info I love this truck other than these minor kinks. Enjoy yours too!
@@ramolifee btw I haven’t had any 10 speed issues on my truck at almost 60k miles so far
@@timschultes6467 same here thankfully mines been solid so far
I agree, somewhere there is the magic best mpg speed, but I think it is too slow and waste of time, mainly because time is money and saving a few bucks is not worth most people's time. I kind of like to drive slow for a short drive like 15 min and watch the mpg and go back to normal 70-75 mph speed just to see how much I could of saved versus time saved.
You nailed it on the MPG issue... I agree. I can get it to cycle in and out of electric mode at just over 50 mph, but who drives those speeds. My wife used to have a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid engine with the tiny battery pack. It would go 2 miles or so on highway in electric mode then it would cycle on and off if you kept it under 60 MPH. THEN Ford did a software upgrade and put the point at which it would allow you to drive to about 70 mph and you could still get it to cycle the battery on and off. One other thing that I've had with my 2011 and 2017 3.5 EcoBoost F-150s I've had is the gas mileage is absolutely horrible when it gets cold out. If you can pull 15 mpg on the highway when the temp is 0 degrees your a better driver than me. Gets even lower when you get to 10 to 15 below... high 12s to low 13s. Its remarkable. Noticed this driving from Seattle to Minneapolis in the winter time. My first thought was that with the all aluminum engine it just never gets warmed up properly??? Stopped at a gas station is Montana once, when it was about 10 below and another customer asked me if my gas mileage dropped dramatically when cold... he had the same issue.
why would you not reset your gas mileage meter?
Lol! You expect 24 MPG while driving over 75 MPH?
It now surpasses that lol
Hello 👋🏻
I just returned a 21 F150 due to vibration issues on the hiway, is you’re smooth at hiway speeds?
Thank you…
My was a 2.7, I drove it from Florida to North Carolina and got 26-27 mpg at speeds between 70 and 80 mph. The economy was incredible. I know you have a 3.5 but that seems very low mpg on your truck.
Sorry to hear that! Thankfully mine is as smooth as butter. The hybrid is definitely amazing on gas
Sorry to hear that, mine is like riding in a Lincoln is so smooth. I think there must have been an update recently because mine has started kicking into electric mode in the 65+ range in just the last week? Taking a 500 mile trip tomorrow, so will see what happens.
I’ll never buy a vehicle the first year that it’s been redesigned…
I volunteer as tribute
I made a huge mistake buying one two weeks ago nothing but problems since the day we purchased it .
@@royweatherford64 sorry to hear! What’s going on and what trim?
@@ramolifee xlt the day I purchased it and we was pullout of the lot we didn’t even make it to the road the truck or transmission like jumped or however you want to say it and the little wrench came on the dash . We backed up and let them look at it . The salesman turned the truck off and back on and it went away. We drove it home a few days later we filled it up for the first time and the transmission started shifting very hard , it would skip 2nd gear and go into 3rd . Around the same time a buzzing sound appeared inside the cab of the truck at low speed. The transmission shifting issues have progressively gotten worse and it , sometimes it down shifts hard and now I’ve noticed shifting issues in higher gears . I’ve called numerous dealerships and I keep getting a similar answer that the technology is new and they are not sure if they can fix it . I’m not sure what to do I know I will not be bringing it back to where I purchased it at because of terrible customer service.
If you have any answers I would appreciate any input, I’m very frustrated having a brand new truck I just spent 60,000 on and I’m concerned about even taking a trip in it .
Ford is ending the power boost buddy. Trade it in on a ecoboost.
take it back the next day and ask for another truck
🤕
I have the same truck as you do. I have a nick in the paint appears as if the robot barely bumped it during paint and I also have a paint swirl, close to a run that would only be noticed if you wash the car as I did. I have just shy of 4,000 miles and my lifetime mileage is 17.8mpg. It did get better after 1500 miles but not dramatically,
Where is the nick on yours? Is it also the Tri-coat pearl white color?
Nice! Happy to hear the mpg gets better, thanks!
@@ramolifee my nick is exact same place as your part 2 video at the 2;04. under the pimple. mine look worse than yours but hard to find as it is kinda under the hood
@@jamesdennehey1383 that’s interesting, maybe a common theme
After you have a few thousand miles on the truck, trying driving at 55 mph and put on your cruise control then watch your MPG, it will be higher. I always get much better MPG with cruise control turned on.
Nice! I’ll keep an eye out thanks
The F150 is the number one selling truck because they produce them like spaghetti.
so much crap on those things to go wrong ill hang on to my 11f150
Feel sad
.....But if leasesing never mind
😩
Defects on my F150 #567.
😂
It got past ford the same way it got past you. Half assing a task.
Yep another Fraud. 😁 some things never change
Lol
WTF😲❗
