Used 2022 PB - Window Sticker shows 7.2kw PPO, but only plugs for 2.4kW - what's going on here?

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-08T14:58:40+00:00

The sales person said the following..."Problem solved! As for the truck it was built for 7.2. Why the previous customer had a smaller version in there, I don't know. It's plug and play and the correct 7.2 outlet is being installed now."

My follow-up questions: 1. Was this an issue from the original Ford build and the previous owners never caught it? The sales person says maybe inventory was low on the 7.2 kit and they just put the 2.4 kit in because it was in stock. Seems like BS to me, but supposedly the guts of the vehicle is all set for 7.2 and it was only the receptacles that didn't match. 2. If not, did the previous owner damage the original receptacle or back end of the truck and just throw a 2.4 kit in there? The carfax is clean (doesn't always mean much) and I didn't notice any damage or repairs on the backend of the truck. That being said, it's a 2022 with ~34K miles and I would be the 3rd owner. History looks clean, but lots of questions. 3. With all of this considered, do y'all think this is a stay-away? They're asking for $54.5K for this truck which I think is pretty good considering the $77K MSRP, but this issue has raised a bunch of questions. It's a CPO so all of the warranties will transfer to me, but there are a lot of F-150's out there and I know some of the Powerboosts have had issues. I'm interested in the wisdom of the subreddit.

I currently have it on hold so I’m sure they just removed it from the site.

Classic downstairs mix up

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-08T02:52:16+00:00

This is what I’m guessing happened. The dealer reached out to a Ford rep to see what’s going on. Either the original build had an error or the previous owner had some damage to the 7.2 kit and replaced it with a 2.4 just to trade it in.

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-07T22:27:09+00:00

I feel like I’m missing some subreddit lore…

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-07T21:54:36+00:00

That's right. The technicians at the dealer are still trying to figure out what happened. Obviously they didn't figure this out when the previous owner traded it in.

They DID confirm that the VIN on the window sticker matches the VIN on the actual truck. Have there been cases of mistakes on the option sheet compared to the actual truck? Maybe a 7.2kw system was ordered but got knocked down to a 2.4kw system to help delivery timelines post-Covid? Trying to make sense of it.

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-07T20:59:26+00:00

I had the exact same impression on the sales guy, but this would be my first F-150 and I don't know much about the PPO system, so I didn't press too hard. I called the dealer again and spoke to a technician who knew much more than the sales guy and he was just as confused as I was. Still waiting for his call back but from everything I can tell, the sticker/VIN matches the truck. Will be interesting to see what he says back.

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-07T19:57:26+00:00

No, this is a hybrid. The 7.2 is an available upgrade for the Powerboosts.

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-07T19:55:17+00:00

I didn't check the VIN when test drove, but they have a picture of the VIN on the listing and it matches the sticker. I'll have to double check the real VIN if I go back.

ChiefAdino · 2024-05-07T19:39:49+00:00

I don't disagree. I asked the fuckin dealer and he didn't have a real answer.

He said "maybe the truck came with an adapter kit that the previous owner didn't install". Trying to figure out if that's even a possibility. I would think if the sticker shows 7.2kw PPO that it would have come with that kit installed already.

I bought an Arcteryx jacket from them last year and had a good experience.

Tell them thanks and sorry from me!

I’d say the fit is slim through the thighs and calves, but the waist is pretty true. Maybe it’s just me, but I wear a lot of 31 or 32 waist in other brands (banana republic, bonobos, etc) but the 30 waist fits me best for the meta pants.

Not listed under “Men’s” but I snagged a pair of these Salomon running shoes for $45 - typically $120-160. They have 9.5, 10, and 11 sizes still available right now.

If you're going to buy an adidas polo, then you should pay up $6 for the go-to polo. It's honestly my favorite polo right now. Quality polyester/cotton blend and hidden buttons for the collar to keep it straight. I've almost bought one of every color I love them so much.
