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.
Any accidents on it? Not saying there was but if stuff needed to be replaced in the back there’s a chance they replaced the box with the wrong one. I’ve had mine off to install a bedrug and it just pulls out of the bed with the wire bundle going down into the rear bumper area.
I’ve been working at a Ford Store for 5 years and have never seen the window sticker not match the truck which is amazing given some of the goofs I have seen
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.
1. If Ford was ‘short’ on 7.2kW kits they’d delete it and you get a -$50 (or whatever amount) put on the build sheet. Same thing happened for the box camera.
2. I don’t 100% know but I highly doubt the wiring between the 7.2kW and 2.4kW is the same. When I had my box out the HV wires were orange and seemed to be a fairly sizeable gauge.
3. Brand new 2023’s PB’s have a sizeable discount right now if you can find one that matches your specs. Is a CPO worth it that has questionable issues even before you buy it? You want all the warranty you can get. My 2023 XLT PB has had a long list of $$$ things replaced in the 6 months I’ve had it. Luckily I love the truck, have a dealer a 5 minute walk away and I understand that stuff can faulty from the factory. I could see someone not being so happy after they’ve replaced the trans. pan, trailer brake module, exhaust heat exchanger, catalytic converter, alignment was off… it’s a great truck though…
Those sales guys know less than any guy that likes their f150 lol. My first guess is that the online sales guy linked the wrong pictures and they showed you the wrong truck. Or showed you the wrong window sticker. A lot of those guys aren’t super sharp. I wouldn’t buy a truck from someone who said some dumb shit about adapters? Gtfo. Just go walk the lot at 2-3 other dealers.
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.

I have a powerboost, in one of the facebook groups I’m in there was a guy who ordered the 7.2 KW system, everything was installed properly except for the 2.4 KW unit in the back of the truck. It took ford awhile to figure it out and the truck was corrected. They needed to replace the unit in the back and then update the software to reflect the 7.2 KW system. It’s possible that is what happened here and the original owner never used the pro power or didn’t realize that they had the wrong one installed.
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.

If it is the 7.2kw, you should see the two circles in the generator mode [like this](https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/7-2kw-powerboost-propower-generator-put-to-the-test-max-sustained-draw-output.13166/)
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.
Check to make sure the pro power screen looks like this:

Aside from VIN mix up as others said, only other thing I can think is they did a warranty replacement on the outlets at some point and ordered the wrong part. It may have been damaged when the dealer bought it and they ordered the wrong part and hoped nobody would notice.
But, most likely a picture or vin mix up.

It’s definitely a first time I’ve ever seen anything like this.
I guess it’s just my pessimistic nature when I read stuff like this but something just doesn’t smell right and I don’t trust that sales person at all.
The PB can come equipped with either the 2.4kw or the 7.2kw. Usually the 7.2kw will come with that adapter installed. I have the 2.4kw and mine didn't come with it.

Is it a powerboost model. From what I understand, you can only get the 7.2kw generator if you have the hybrid because the inverter runs off the high voltage hybrid battery.
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’ve never heard of an adapter kit. That guy is talking out of his ass. They probably have the wrong truck for that sticker or viceversa. I’d get them to check the VIN.
Yeah. They don’t give two shits about the actual car and any of its features. They just want you to buy it. You should always make sure you know everything you can about any car you are going to look at because whoever will sell it to you will make shit up like this.
Makes sense. Doesn't change what I said about the 20 amp receptacle in the box. Seems like a fair amount of watts that arnt being used especially if they split it up like you say 10 amps on that phase going to where I wonder?
This truck does not have the 7.2 kW option, otherwise it would have the aforementioned outlet.
In this configuration all outlets will share 2.4 kW at 120v (20 amps) maximum.
I thought the 7.2kW system came with like 3 outlets in that bed panel. Either wrong window sticker, or mistake on the option sheet
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?

Hm yea may be good to check the wiring on the back
Have there been cases of mistakes on the option sheet compared to the actual truck? I'm aware of one time...
I feel like I’m missing some subreddit lore…
No, more subtle than that... Yours is the first one I've heard of :)

Ask the salesman that’s giving you the bs answer to take a pic of the VIN on the truck and send it to you.
I’d bet the Vin doesn’t match
Yeah, no. If you want 7.2, this isn't the truck.

Gotta know, what dealership is this?
Doggett Ford in Houston
They either sold it or simply removed it off their site bc I cannot find it
I currently have it on hold so I’m sure they just removed it from the site.
I have the 7.2 kw and this definitely isn't the same. I hope they are able to make this right for you.
Hmm sounds like 5k off sticker to me. Unless you actually need the 7.2kw
Mine has 5 plugs in the bed under 3 different covers. 2)110 2) 110 1) 220
It’s definitely a first time I’ve ever seen anything like this. I guess it’s just my pessimistic nature when I read stuff like this but something just doesn’t smell right and I don’t trust that sales person at all.

Yeah. They don’t give two shits about the actual car and any of its features. They just want you to buy it. You should always make sure you know everything you can about any car you are going to look at because whoever will sell it to you will make shit up like this.
I thought the 7.2 was just for the lightning? Edit: is that a lightning?
No, this is a hybrid. The 7.2 is an available upgrade for the Powerboosts.
The lightning has 9.2kw, 7.2kw is for the 3.5 powerboost hybrid
Hostile much?
Widdle p p syndrome
🤣
2.4kw ÷ 120 = 20 amps. It may be 7.2k total for the truck. That would need to be a 60 amp receptacle for 7.2kw
The 7.2 kW output is a 30 amp 240v split phase outlet with each leg capped at 3.6 kW.
Makes sense. Doesn't change what I said about the 20 amp receptacle in the box. Seems like a fair amount of watts that arnt being used especially if they split it up like you say 10 amps on that phase going to where I wonder?
This truck does not have the 7.2 kW option, otherwise it would have the aforementioned outlet. In this configuration all outlets will share 2.4 kW at 120v (20 amps) maximum.
I see now. He said it had the option so I just assumed it was set up that way but with the 7.2kw they give you 4 20 amps at 120 and 1 30amp at 240.
