Superduty is waiting for this!
Don’t think they’d add a hybrid to a HD truck
@@harveysingh8785 Actually it would be a better application, the battery pack doesn’t necessarily have to propel the truck. It can be used in the same manor as this setup and diesels are better suited for idling when necessary to charge all the batteries. Semi trucks have a similar feature that allows you use the truck batteries to run your APU, TV, microwave, fridge, cellphone chargers or whatever then it automatically cycles the engine to maintain the batteries. A 1 ton truck that doubles as a generator would be extremely useful and it could also be fitted with a lithium battery to power accessories.
@@EricFortuneJr. Diesels aren't suited for idling because they have particulate filters. After extended idle time, you would clog the filter. Another thing, modern light duty diesels are low compression and common rail, and they have wash down issues because idle temperatures aren't hot enough to completely burn the fuel. If you were to keep idling, you would fill the crankcase with raw fuel. So, idling a diesel to power up something would be out of the question.
@@AkioWasRight Ford Super Duty’s that are equipped with a diesel engine have a driver on command regeneration option for parked regen. So that would solve the DPF problem. And as far as idling the engine goes, I’m sure it would have a high Idol function for when the inverter was in use. Even this F150 was idling at 1500 RPM when it was running. Wouldn’t that keep the engine temperature up enough??
@@Matts000 That's a lot of fuel you're using to do all that.
Still, even it works, I doubt it's good for the engine. High-idle and manual regeneration can be done, but it's bad for emissions stuff the long-run because the engines are meant to be under load. Simply powering a generator isn't enough. Lots of guys I know who high-idle their trucks still have tons of emissions issues because the engines need to be loaded down pretty hard to keep things clean.
Well, Ford just won everyone who wants to tow a mobile home. That is impressive.
One thing I just realized...my RV shore cable is nowhere near the truck bed. I would have to run a separate power input from the inverter to the front of the trailer. But this would be great to cool the trailer off before arriving at the destination, because it definitely gets very hot in Texas heat while traveling.
So you do not think farmers or construction people would not use this? I have one brother in each of these fields and I am sure they would love it.
@@gregkramer5588 Following your logic... If I said "I like pizza," I would also be saying, "I don't like any other type of food." I hope that's not what you meant.
@@gregkramer5588 So because he didn't list every group that would like this feature he must be excluding them...
Or I could use the extension that I forgot I even had, LOL.
That's pretty awesome. You could go way off-road in comfort with this setup and and some jerry cans.
The ultimate glamping truck
FOMOCO gonna market this as a TEXAS BLACKOUT EDITION
One guy ran his entire house off of one for like 3 days until he finally ran out of gas.
Lol
Hahaha
So I'm shopping for a truck and I like Rams but now I'm thinking differently. This is impressive
100% same boat as you - coming to the same conclusion as well.
It’s brand new so I’d wait and see how reliable it is
I'm a RAM guy, but can't lie this tech is incredible. Gimme a Power Wagon with this tech and it will be the ultimate overlanding off-roading Rig. I hope Ram is paying attention to what Ford is doing here.
@@msalsa1828 that's true. I'm sure they will have some type warranty for that generator
@@msalsa1828 while this is mostly true, the powertrains and tried and true. Even the MHT transmission has already been used in the Explorer and Aviator.
Never been a ford fan but I have to give them credit, this is a game changer for the rv owners. The engine at idle is quieter than any inverter generator. This is such a cool feature, Ford is light years ahead in their engineering. My Honda EU3000 is shivering in fear out in the garage.
I have the same generator, I’m thinking the same thing but really need 30amp 110volt outlet
The engine is also 20x more expensive than a generator. I'd rather run a $2k generator than idle my truck engine. Your EU3000 makes 58 db, it's not any louder if at all than an idling truck. Also..... this isn't light years, inverter technology existed, they just slapped it on and plugged it in.
@@gwot that's marketing for ya. making you think they reinvented the wheel when it's been around for decades. still a cool concept though.
@@Mike-jv8bv it's certainly something to lure customers with, cuz everyone thinks they need that feature. Just like people need to buy a $1,500 smart phone to browse social media and text.
Here's my problem.. 7.2 kw is great... more than enough power to do ALOT of things. But not every trailer is wired at 240 volts. Infact very few are. So honestly for people RVing you have a 3.6 kw generator. Well... two of them actually. With a decent 240 splitter like you have here you can power your AC and your neighbors AC, but you can't power your one trailer that has two ACs. Why? Well... great tool, great design but they overlooked one of their major customer bases. Their camping community.
Still plenty useful for some campers, but damn, they kind of dropped the ball on that one
Anyone else cringe when he turned the microwave while it was empty? RIP Magnetron
Yep, as soon as I saw that I jumped to comments! Should have had a cup of water in there.
@@regi0317 nope. Still need something to absorb those microwaves
Guess I shouldn't have bought that generator for hurricane season. I just need a 2021 F150.
And get a free truck with your generator!
You can wear out 2 dozen Honda’s and still have money left over lol.
@@JAMESWUERTELE Just can't drive one lol
@@JAMESWUERTELE This is the way.
Don't forget you still need towing truck.
This truck has just changed the game, for sure.
That's what Musk said from his pot-fueled "launch" of the Cybertruck....
@@mikek5298 well i guess but ford has a loyal following in the U.S. and this is a start to a different way for the auto company, the cyber truck i believe does this and is all electric so a better footprint but American truck owners are slow to change so a good stepping stone especially with the full electric version following soon.
😍
NR do you realize where power even comes from ? Foot prints slow to change ...... do some research. All the turbines and solar in the world couldn’t power a tenth of this planet.
@@Heylando never said that why you coming for me , you must be a karen.
Hey Ford, we need this technology ASAP in our Superdutys to feed our miter and power saws. Would be useful to constantly recharge my multi bank Milwaukee and Dewalt battery chargers and power Led lights for when I am working on homes without power yet. Also, please make a 50 amp version of this on board generator for my fifth wheel. Very exciting new technology!
50 amp RV is 12K watts, I bet the battery would need to be much larger and expensive.
It basically has 2 30 amp plugs at 120v, you can build your own parallel kit from home depot supplys to power your 50 amp rv probably run everything in the trailer if its 7.2 kw like Ford claims. This is like having a Honda EU 7000 inverter generator onboard. i'd like to see if the 7.2 kw is continuous or peak load. An Onan 5500 will run 2 15k btu ac units.
@@cordellroberson532 I have a 40 foot fiver with two 15K btu air conditioner units powered by a 5500kW onan generator. I have run them simultaneously many times in the summer in the Florida Keys and never had a fuse blow out. I have no idea how you got the requirement of 12K watts to run a 50 amp RV. If you do some research, there are many class A diesel pushers with tag axles in the 45000 lb class weight that run multiple a/c units on 50 amps with less than 9000kw generators.
@@raypabs5374 50 amp 240v on rv is
2 120v legs capable of 50 amp each
So 120 X 100amp = 12,000w max.
If you use less power sure you can use a smaller generator but how many times are you going to trip the safeties when you exceed it? And what damage is that causing
@@tumbleweedking5668 7200w peak, 5760w continuous
From a ram guy that's very impressive , would be interesting to see what it could do in a house blackout situation
I'm sure it could power the fridge and such. A full house backup would be a tough ask for something this size, however. Then again, if I were buying this, I'd probably already own a standby generator for my home.
Mat Smith , a simple Key interlock makes it safe.
@@db4z09 right. You can add in a line switch that disconnects from the main automatically when the generator powers on, but not everyone thinks about things like that.
@@matsmith5937 it's adorable you think this truck would be useful if there really was a cataclysmic event. It would work as a nice little place to stay out of the elements though. Wouldn't run or drive of course.
@@db4z09 all you need to do is instal a manual transfer switch wired to your breaker box and switch off what’s not needed. Back feeding isn’t necessary.
Man I was just about to pull the trigger on a Ram 1500 but this has me rethinking things.
Good
You won't be disappointed, I'm wanting to trade in my 2014 ecoboost platinum for one.
Power train is all fantastic too, they've been using the hybrid ecoboost and trans in the aviator for a few years.
The f150 is fords bread and butter, they won't risk messing up a new launch.
Ford didn’t have to make a truck this great to keep me away from a camshaft eating hemi.
Get that ford bro 💯
And a very quiet Generator. GM and Dodge, are going back to the drawing board. Lol
Can you please post a link to the splitter cable that converts the 220v to two 120v circuits? And an detailed explanation of the hookups?
Hi yes I would like info on this as well
It'd be interesting to know how much fuel it consumes while supplying power to RVs. A comparison to a generator that supplies the same amount of power would be nice too
In theory it should be more efficient using the battery as a buffer, and most generator engines aren't that efficient for their given displacement
Generator should be more efficient and simple.
@@zelenizub2036 but the generator doesn’t have a 36 gallon tank like the F150 does
@@brentvance3958 the hybrid only has a 30 gallon tank and Ford says it will last 80+ hours powering the inverter at full boar. So figure roughly 1/3 gallon per hour which is pretty good for a 7k generator
If you get the Max tow package option, the 36 gallon tank is included in the package. Anyone who is planning to tow would opt for the Max tow option.
Wow impressive. This opens up all kinds of dry camping sites, especially if you have good size tanks in your travel trailer. I have a 2014 that I love, but seeing this makes me want to upgrade.
Well. I couldn't make up my mind on which truck I'd want. After seeing this. I'm convinced ford is the way to go for the rv life
@@Lq32332 I'm planning to get a black series caravan hq19. Its plenty for a single guy like me.
I'd rather own a Toyota truck and Honda generator camping, especially off grid. Reliability is key.
@@James-il3tq I've thought about that too. With a Honda generator. Time will tell if this ford can go at least 100k miles without major issues.
@Memphis Brewer do you live out of your hq15 full time? I was thinking the hq19 smallest id go. Since I'd be living out of it
@@Lq32332 I would like to know the payload. Also, I think you have to get the long bed for this truck, all of this weighs more so how much can you tow? that would be my question
Ram and chevy watch up ford has up the game again
This is actually insane. You no longer need to lug around a generator and extra fuel for when you are doing off grid camping, huge game changer!!
You'll still need extra fuel for your truck.
Well judging from the video, the truck doesn’t have to turn on that often, he was running a continuous +1500w which never happens realistically
and it cost less as an option as an 8K honda
As always Ford is setting another new trend.The others will follow
This is the first time ford has really set a new trend in decades man.
@@eats4cheaps305 Really?!?!?! You must have been sleeping! Regarding trucks Ford always leads innovation. First full aluminum body,first twin turbo v6, panoramic moon roof, electronic assist power steering, adjustable power pedals first 10 speed in a truck, purpose built desert runner (Raptor). That’s just to name the major ones not even getting into the infotainment systems in the earlier days
@@anthonys7534 if your towing why would you want a v6? Why do you need power pedals? Just another thing to break. I don’t want a 10 speed, a 6 speed manual is fine. Why do you need a panoramic sunroof in a truck, like what’s the point in a truck? All of this is pointless in a truck doing truck stuff. Just adds unnecessary cost to the price and more stuff to break.
@@edwardott2186 consumer driven, I don't make the rules. And I'm guessing you've never driven an Ecoboost.
Toyota has had inverters in the bed since 2005...
I'd rather put wear and tear on my $800 generator than my $70,000 truck.
True but if your normal generator breakdown you can use the truck as a backup which is a nice peace of mind to have
That is a $5,000 generator
Thanks for the comment I was going to make. +1
This is gonna make me buy stuff I cant afford lol.
When I saw the inverter announcement, I thought "what a silly reach..." - now that I'm seeing it in action, I have to admit I was completely wrong and Ford must have talked to a TON of customers to realize they would want something like this. Freaking awesome innovation.
Nice for Ford to have this feature, but I would rather run a $2k generator than idle my 40k truck engine. and inverter technology existed for decades, nothing innovative here, just decided to slap a higher power one on and plug it in is all.
@@gwot The engine only idles if the battery is depleted or you're drawing a ton of power. Otherwise, the engine is off. The Inverter uses the Hybrid's available inverter to power the plugs. The nice thing about Ford's Generator is that it's properly grounded by default, so it doesn't trip any ground fault sensors. And it's basically a full GFCI circuit also.
@@Xyler94 That still doesn't defeat my point. The hybrid battery's gonna last you roughly a day at full charge, which if Ford does their due diligent it'll never fully charge the battery under normal driving (unless they have a full charge button), you're gonna get 80% charge at best, and you're gonna lose 20% due to inverter inefficiency, so 60% available power. then it's back to my point, unless you're a 1 night RV camper or drive out everyday, it's idling. If your generator isn't properly grounded, that's on you, I don't see this as a bonus for Ford, it's a given.
looked at this and ordered a F150 powerboost. what dog bone cables did you use? and where can i get them?
This needs to make it to the Bronco.
Overlanding king!
Yessss
Good job Ford motor company there's a reason why you are number one in truck sales... I own a Construction business and I been nothing but happy with your trucks!🇺🇸💪
Ford sets the bar yet again for the 1/2 ton market. GM and Ram should be pissing their pants RN
GM...💦 Ram...💦 they are!😂
Still hate that Ford door chime.
Definitely, I like the mid-2000 model’s chime better!!
It better than GM. A 2018 Cadillac has the same chime as my my dads 94 base Cavalier did.
THANK YOU! I honestly can't own a Ford almost exclusively for that.
My 2012 Fiesta has the same chime. Doesn't seem possible.
I absolutely hate that do do do chime too
When this hits super duty for super size trailers, no one who drives RVs will ever buy a competitor. It just wouldn’t make sense.
But for many HD level 5th wheels or TT they use 50A power. 30A can only power a smaller TT with a single AC. Of course, you can shut down one AC to make it work.
@@dearbulls heavy duty truck might have heavy duty generator. Or 50 amp. Also, , think of the possibilities of having the ability to have your RV connected while driving(special connection of course near fifth wheel), with your RV preheated or cooled before you arrive or have your batteries charged while driving from boondock site to boondock site.
@@dmegahan That'll be awesome if they bump it up to 50A.
Another issue I see is these 150's generator makes 240V from 4 prone connectors. With a normal 14-30L (150 end) to L5-30R (RV end) dog bone connector like what's shown, is it simply by passing one of the 120V prone? That way does it still make 7200W, or just 3600W (simply 120V*30A)? So as what Andre is showing, 2 RVs are sharing the same 3600W power.
@@Lq32332 idk. But I do know that the customers, especially rich ones, are benefiting from it. LOL
All the new TT trailers already have built in generators I see this being used more for a job site
Ford just changed the game. There are so many uses for this and it’s only a $800 option. Much cheaper than a high end generator.
Toyota will take over Ford's spot
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 lol, you mean the Tundra that hasn't changed in over a decade? Terrible mpg, frames rusting in half, oil consumption... Toyota "reliability" isn't what it use to be...

I did not make this comment with any ill will towards Ford I do not have any brand loyalty for one makes truck vs another. I made it because this is a complex piece of hardware that will have a high probability of costly repairs when and if something fails.
Damn that's impressive. Chevy is continually falling behind 🤦🏾♂️, crappy time to be a Chevy fan...
Will I trade my ram for this in a year?? I was a ford guy but the 2019 ram 1500 pulled me away... i may be back, ford!!
Ford knocked it out of the park.
Wow! Now, when can we expect this in a heavy duty?
22'
it would be much better if they offered the generator/hybrid function on the diesel..i would buy one then..:)
I bet they'll have it on all engines soon
If this comes to the heavy duty trucks the F250 F350 and F450 they will sell The Living Daylights out of these trucks for Campers Inn RV enthusiasts, with that being said I have a 2017 F350 srw, and the only thing that would make me trade up is that generator unit on a 2022
Would be nice if Ford offered a rear cab window that was able to be rolled down for those that wanna add a camper and have cab access.
Pretty cool and innovative but too bad the f150 doesn't have the payload for a horse trailer like that...hopefully that technology will pass over to the heavy duty models.
At that point the HD’s would have to be hybrids right? I doubt that will happen cause of the v8’s. Idk. They’re gonna have to figure out a HD all electric I think.
@@A-Mafia313 I don't see why they can't add a hybrid to a cummins? Semis use tripacs for generators. It can't be that much more difficult to make the diesel engine itself the generator.
@@americansmark yeah I guess you’re right. Just add a bigger electric motor to go along with the bigger engine. And since Tesla has a semi 🤷♂️
Or put that engine in a heavy duty. 430 hp 570tq better than the 6.2 and 7.3.
@@brentvance3958 true, but I don't see it being a motor for towing heavy. I'd have to look at the torque curve, but I feel like it's going to be a high revving motor with a higher torque band.
FANTASTIC video. Very impressive! It appears that you used some sort of dogbone, does the Ford not have a traditional 30 amp RV outlet? If not please advise what adapter can be used to accept a traditional RV 30 amp plug. Thank you, keep up the great videos!
Very Impressive. I'm going out on a limb here and saying that Chevy/GMC and Dodge just crapped their drawers upon seeing this.
I don't get this. How do so many people comment about getting this truck? Is everyone robbing banks? Are there any UA-cam vids on how to rob banks?
For real gonna be like 70k for a half ton lol
That is impressive! Perfect for weekend camping, you could also run a small 140amp mig welder machine.
Is that an adaptor cord that plugs into the truck's 220 volt outlet and splits into two 110 volt 30 amp outlets, one for each camper?
This is the future.
The future is moving away from ICE vehicles.
@@James-il3tq Not for towing your huge RV.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Diesels are for heaving towing. Don't expect hybrid diesels with added complexity, cost and diesel engine issues running at low load to keep generator running. See other thread in comments that discusses diesel engine issues powering these generators.
I absolutely agree.
@@James-il3tq The future hasn’t even thought of range anxiety yet for those going way outside city limits and solar is not even that great of an option with a few miles or so of extra range especially with a heavy truck so forget about it. Hybrid is here to stay for many years until the EV issue is resolved especially with how fragile electrical components are ICE will stick around. there’s no way of beating around the bush when it comes to real facts. You guys are just picking at straws and doing the guessing game of what is the future and what isn’t. Reality is right in front of you.
Omg, when this hits the super duty! 🥴
Well Ok then ! That's something I can use ! Dang. That's my SHTF vehicle I already have the RV.
The microwave in that trailer is better than the one in my house, oh yeah, the truck is nice as well, Ford should sell a lot of them.
Great Vid Andre! I’d like to see a comparison of how much fuel is used by the truck compared to a traditional mobile generator! How about a video where you guys run the same trailer for about 4 hours each, with the same tests like heater, microwave, and TVs, and then see wether the truck or the traditional generator is more efficient.
uh only issue I see is exhaust gas. it's pointed at your trailer and turns on and it leaks into your trailer it'll poison you.
I guess we can look forward to a bunch of trucks idling on BLM land connected to RVs.
Idling all night getting 0 mpg while keeping neighbors up and disturbing animals. Great!
TFL Truck should run this test - 5000 Watt generator versus the F-150. Two identical trailers on a winter night: cook dinner, watch a movie and leave the heat on all night. Which uses more gas and which is noisier?
@@santiagohills3997 it won't shut off if they are pulling constant current at this rate. it's only a 1.5kWh pack which will only run a 30A 110-volt AC plug most RVs have for about a half hour at full load without the engine starting. If people are inside their giant RVs and know that they can run whatever electrical appliances they want, they will. Microwave, space heaters whatever they have. When shore power is connected, lots of equipment automatically switch from propane to electric like the absorption 3 way fridge and water heater that will pull a lot of amps and the truck will just stay on to keep up that demand. Maybe when they finally go to sleep it will throttle off but it would be obnoxious as hell for everyone else there.
In California the CARB rules prevent idling, and on federal land I believe there is some compliance issues also. This is so great for tools, when power is shut off for fire etc great idea and tool to use!
@@lutomson3496 I think it's a great feature to be able to utilize the stored power in the truck's batteries. But I don't think the CARB rule will keep people from plugging their RV in all day and night when they go camp on the wild. It's pretty unlikely a BLM ranger would come over and enforce it but I hope they do.
Ford need to get rid of that double horn beep when truck is running and key is in pocket then you get out.
A hybrid super duty would be awesome. The 6.7 powerstroke with the same electric motor as the f150. That would be amazing in my opinion.
Torque: Yes
6.7 powerstroke might not have enough space in the engine bay, but a gas engine with a higher power/torque electric motor should provide enough torque to be comparable to a diesel, but the only drawback will be it cannot provide torque for a long time for a long hill climbing, because the battery will be drained eventually.
This will work great for a construction site.
I love this new 7kw inverter option, problem is think about if your wife left to get some food or other supply’s and you stayed back and watched the kids. You loose power when the truck leaves. So you still need your generator lol. And the truck is starting and stopping a a hundred times threw-out the night using tons of fuel. Again, I would totally buy the option for job sites and stuff but not for rv power.
Stay in a power site I'd planning on leaving
But for how long can you run the trailer tho ? A few hours ?
How does it show 2 meters for 1 plug?
Took me a minute, he said it's 240v. So, it's for each phase. That's how you do it with a portable generator and an RV because they are usually 120v.
@@thomasdurant7907 genius! Thank you. I should have known that, embarrassed

Can you see about charging an electric vehicle with the truck? Maybe a new application for this truck would be emergency roadside assistance for EVs
They have a video on that already. It does charge the tesla.
Once everyone hated the *TOYOTA* _Prius_ cause it was a HYBRID, now, even *F1* and 24HRS of LEMANS cars and FORD are in the hybrid era.

@@pryme2013 cool, not claiming to know everything.
It's not balancing the load it's displaying the two 120v legs, and your 240v plug is splitting to two 120v legs one each per camper. Looks like on the display it will do 3600w max per leg? Super cool, hope they bring it to the super duty lineup.

Yup I want one now..
Where do you buy the plugs? I just bought a 2022 F150 hybrid. What’s the best plug into the truck that would run an electrical cord while camping?
Minor detail on a fantastic move by Ford. I happen to have a Roll-N- lock tonneau cover, which I and the wife love. Ford should have some sort of method where the electrical cords can be "passed through" and accessible to use when the tailgate is closed and a tonneau cover is keeping your tools, sporting goods yadda yadda all your junk out of reach of scum bags. Minor I said, but very important to those whom haul tool in the box to a work or camping situation
Great idea!
My Cybertruck will come with 120/240vac with much bigger capacity.
Ford F150 hybrid and 6 RV can be hooked up to it😁
One more thing I need even before I knew I needed it.
The more i think about it the more I like it, Someone driving the Ford generator down the interstate 🛣, behind comes an electric car driver screaming 😱 yoooo throw me and extension cord, Ford driver: there’s a charging station a few miles away it will only take you a few hours to get there and a 8 hour to change it.

Really need this for long hauls with the camper. Pull off at a rest stop for the night and can still use AC or stop at a harvest host. Better than running a generator or the extra weight and cost of a battery system for the camper
Ford raises the bar with every new generation of F150. No wonder it sells the most abd has been leading sales for 4 decades. Love it. Wish I could buy one right now. Maybe my next truck though.
Absolutely. Ford is the pickup innovator.
Hey Andre, is there an idle hour limit on the warranty now?
This is a big deal, I have an RV and to run Microwave takes 1000w and all the other stuff minus the AC about 1300w. I would like to see if it can run the 13,500 BTU AC on an RV?
I would like to see it run the A/C in one trailer.
7kw generator should be good for 1 AC, but maybe not the 2nd AC because of the surge current
Always put something in a microwave before running it (Even if it's simply a cup of hot water)
That’s pretty impressive!
Texas power fiasco brought me here. This truck is now squarely on my radar.
Agreed. Compared with a truck purchase + home installed Generac it's even. At least this way the generator is mobile.
Wow
It can power the 5th wheels but can it pull the 5th wheels
So you will need someone to follow you in your new F150 to the horse show or camping trip because you want be pulling either one of those trailers with your F150..
ford wins again!!
as usual !
Definitely worth $800!!!!
Thanks Andre @TFLnow @TFLtruck. You have actually ‘shown’ what this truck can do, the rest of the UA-camrs are ‘talking’ what this can do. Super awesome job, looking forward for more videos on it’s capability and real world tests. 👍🙂
Have Tommy take it to the yak ranch and do some welding hooked up to it. Then I’ll be impressed
This is the post I have been waiting for. Thank you for posting. How did the truck handle the A/C?
If GM had done this with their hybrids maybe they would have succeeded!
What is the exact payload and towing capacity for this limited F-150? I’m concerned that the hybrid motor and 7 kw generator weight will greatly reduce payload capacity. I really like that this truck can power 2 rv’s, but it couldn’t tow either of them.
I bet in 2 years all the other truck brands will have this feature. I'll wait for the other brands to have this for reliability.
Lol shutting on and off is terrible for the truck...
So what u saying is your brand loyal. Because what u just said makes no sense at all , u saying in 2 years a company will make one but they would probably like all people who's first crop of anything not really that good , while ford would have ot perfected and probably more powerful by then.
Ahh yes, they all jump on ford's bandwagon ... ever since the original truck
@@JollyFlys Every truck brand has their firsts. Dodge had diesel first, Chevy had hd trucks first. But what I am saying is Ford is never good at getting anything right the first time.
@@randyjr3479 I'm just saying ford has never got a new technology right the first time.
This should be an optional powertrain on the Transit van, especially paired with the motor home package.
Can’t pull it but can power it haha
I've been waiting for Ford to redesign their gauges. Now they look great.
During the texas blackout recently, these truck were powering full houses, heaters, fridges, chargers...one guy powered his house for 3 days until it ran out of fuel...pretty impressive
What kind of split dongle cable is needed for this? Amazon link?
They should put this same technology in Transit cargo vans.
Do you have a link to purchase the convertor cord ? 240v to 120v
