2021 Ford F-150 Lariat PowerBoost Review // $60,000 Powerhouse

[@ThrottleHouse]

Hey everyone! Hope you all enjoyed the video! A note: We know Thomas said that the body panels might rust, but clearly that part is Aluminum. Don't worry we are adding a correction and Thomas' Canadian citizenship has been temporarily revoked. He has been punished by being forced to traverse the Rocky Mountains twice, and consume 32 gallons of Maple Syrup. In the meantime, James is officially the team Canadian. God help us all... Okay it’s been fixed! But thomas is still gonna serve his time

[@salmonars]

Not the maple syrup 😭🤣🤣

[@Roderickdl]

You guys are so prompt. Kudos and add to Thomas's punishment he has to serve Pountine to any random stranger who knocks on his door for 2 weeks.

[@dougrobinson8602]

Yep. F150's have been aluminium bodied for around six years, now. Still wouldn't hurt to Krown it.

[@Derek.Mitchell]

@jess h that "storm" killed people mf. Do you think that the people or infrastructure of Tijuana and Juárez are prepared for a week long freeze, or have made enough investments in snow ploughs to keep up with several days of consecutive snow? San Antonio is over 100 miles south of each of them, roughly the same latitude as Hermosillo and Kuwait. Austin is the same latitude as Jacksonville and Cairo. All these cities aren't exactly known for their snow storms.

[@Derek.Mitchell]

@jess h I get that it may have been a seasonal occurrence in many parts of the country that are prepared for that kind of thing, but to us it looks like mockery or victim blaming. It's like people dont understand that San Antonio is 350 miles south of Los Angeles and that expecting them to be prepared for even a little freeze is like expecting New York to be prepared for something we experience every summer like 100 days of 100 degree heat.

[@andrewb325]

Randy Jones used his Powerboost F-150’s onboard generator to power his 75” TV and coffee pot during the Texas blackouts while others froze or were hit with $15,000 electric bills. All it cost him was a few gallons of unleaded. What a boss 😎👍👍

[@1ossksa]

15000$ electric bill probably going to need more than 1000 gallon. Also, generation that much of energy will reduce the engine live massively. It like driving 40k kilometers.

[@andrewb325]

@@1ossksa the $15,000 bills weren't from excessive use. They were from rates that skyrocketed to 100 times their normal level since they had no cap. Of course he didn't use as much electricity as he normally would have, but he was still able to power a heater, refrigerator, freezer, microwave and TV so he was able to stay fairly comfortable. Others had no choice. I'd say he's the clear winner here. Also TFL NOW in their BMW I3 charging review showed that even at max generating level (7KW) the F-150 Powerboost engine speed remained at 1.000 rpm for the duration of their test. That's hardly stressing the engine.

[@Edgedrifle]

I never cease to be entertained or laugh my ass off and also learn something with this show. Y'all really deserve to have your own car show like Top Gear. Outside of the old Top Gear show and The Grand Tour, y'all have the best (by far) car show on the internet and better than what's on cable TV.

[@upshifter5316]

Imo way better than TG. The impact TG has had as a pioneer is nothing to be discredited, but as far as the best blend of info & entertainment for the auto enthusiast has to be TH imho. And considering their much smaller budget and car access... game over. Again.... imho.

At least until stuff breaks. Do cars these days even have limp modes?

[@luckyOslevin]

Two things: The U-Haul Car Hauler’s fender folds down on the driver’s side. I towed my car 3 times before learning that. Also, F-150s have aluminum alloy bodies over steel frames. So if it rusts it may split in half, but at least the body should look fine...

[@johnhand2992]

Was gonna say that about the trailer fender too. Also, the brakes on the trailer only activate if the trailer becomes disconnected from the hitch - they don't assist with stopping while towing.

[@dennisgrabowski7738]

@@johnhand2992 I'm not sure that's quite true about the trailer brakes. I believe it's a surge brake system. It's a hydraulic system that uses the weight of the trailer pushing against the hitch to activate the brakes.

[@johnhand2992]

@@dennisgrabowski7738 hmm could be. I noticed the brakes weren't helping me when I was backing the loaded trailer down my steep driveway and my truck was still getting pulled down the hill with my brakes completely locked up. I mentioned it to the Uhaul employee and they said it was only emergency brakes. Maybe they just don't work if the load is pulling on the hitch instead of pushing.

[@dennisgrabowski7738]

@@johnhand2992 A true surge brake isn't designed to work in reverse. There's actually a pin your supposed to insert that locks the moving parts of the trailer tongue to prevent it from locking up the brakes when moving backwards. Not sure if this is how U-haul's smaller car carriers are set up. They often get damaged by customers too and local mom & pop U-haul centers aren't really known for their maintenance up keep.
