In this episode of Throttle House, the dynamic duo, Thomas and James, delve into their ownership experience of the Ford F-150 Lariat Power Boost. This mammoth truck, equipped with the impressive Pro Power on board feature, faced its fair share of challenges, including unfortunate break-ins that led to the installation of a heavy-duty Smart Cap. While the Pro Power system proved handy for various tasks, it wasn't without its quirks, causing headaches with electronic failures and reliability issues. The hosts candidly share their mixed feelings about the truck's performance, comfort, and overall driving experience, ultimately highlighting its towing prowess and spacious interior.

Reflecting on their color choice and driving preferences, the team expresses a newfound appreciation for the F-150's capabilities over its Ram counterpart. Despite minor glitches and the occasional trip to the dealer for hybrid system hiccups, the truck has proven itself as a reliable workhorse, ferrying the hosts through countless filming trips and race weekends without skipping a beat. As they ponder the truck's future and potential replacements, the hosts weigh the pros and cons of sticking with Ford versus exploring alternatives like the Toyota Tundra or a previous-gen Tundra with a trusty V8 engine.

With a hint of skepticism towards electric options due to towing limitations and a humorous jab at Tesla's engineering prowess, the hosts ultimately commend the dealership's service while acknowledging the truck's enduring comfort on long-haul journeys. As they contemplate the next steps for their beloved F-150, the team leaves viewers eagerly anticipating their future adventures and the potential unveiling of a new automotive companion.
