Default Where are the Powerboost

Am I missing something, I know the general answer is delays due to COVID and demand ya di ya di ya. However where are the Powerboost, I search my local dealers nearly everyday, today between the four dealers near me there are 150 2021 F 150's, most just arrived and are XL's 2 Lariat's, 3 King Ranch, 1 Platinum and 1 Limited none of which are Powerboost. It don't look like ordering one is going much faster.

Really wanting a Antimatter Blue Powerboost Limited, looks like it might be quite the wait.

Powerboost had a later OKTB then the regular gas trucks.

Powerboost has only 1 plant, and has more parts on top of the regular ecoboost. More parts means more likelihood that ANY part in the supply chain can bottleneck production. While I hate the delay, it is what it is.

I read that Ford was going to produce a limited amount of Powerboosts due to battery availability.

Is it possible that they had so many retail orders for the Powerboost that they took up their allotments?

I say this because the Gen 14 forum is announcing delivery of ordered Powerboosts every day.

Here is a load sticker for an XLT. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/thre...werboost.1090/

i think a few have arrived at some dealers. seen one or two on youtube from a dealers inventory. but it was clear back in the summer/fall that the delivery of powerboosts would be delayed past the start of the other f150s

They were building the non-hybrid trucks for what it seemed like 2 months before they even started production on the powerboost orders that we had.


I JUST got my power boost and it was the first one and only one so far to hit our dealership

Searching inventory in my area (BC) produced none but I found 3 in stock in Calgary dealerships. XLTs and a lariat.
So they are there but very rare!
