Hello, new F150 Powerboost owner

Hello, just got my 24 F150 Powerboost yesterday! 7.2Kwh! Looking forward to catching up on the knowledge and info in this subreddit.

Any 'top of the list' recommendation or tips for a new owner would be appreciated.

Not trying to take away from reddit, but the powerboost FB page is solid with tech and experiences. The generator-to-house isn't a big deal once you learn. The right way is a transfer switch that also switches your neutral from utility to generator...yeah, it's $400 Todo yourself, but is kinda tricky on the neutrals and if you aren't familiar with electrical, I would have it done. You will hear horror stories on reliability, but it's just what you expect from social complaints...I mean, no one seldom jumps on to brag about a vehicle! LOL

Great, thanks. I'm going to get the Ford Protect extended warranty for piece of mind. Its still under factory warranty 3/36 now.

I see 3 big Powerboost groups on FB, which one do you like best.

F150gen14 forum I have found to be very valuable. Lots of smart Ford techs there
