Ford F-150 hybrid powers house’s space heater and lamp as neighborhood goes dark

Finally, an F-150 that can tow a house or power one.

The worst times are always when power goes out. Blackouts are gone if your 2021 Ford F-150 is equipped with an optional onboard generator. Ford F-150 Hybrid owners who have spec’d the optional generator will find that their truck is always available to power your home in case of an unexpected power outage.

Pickup Truck and SUV Talk Youtuber faced an unexpected power outage. He was able to find a brand-new Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid in his driveway, with a full tank of gas. He was able to run an extension cord to his home and the gas started flowing.

An optional 7.2-Kilowatt system is also available. A 2.0-Kilowatt generator can be added to standard gas-powered F-150s. This is enough power to run a small fridge or heater. The power output of this generator is comparable to or even better than many stand-alone generators, and it can be integrated into a truck that is easily transportable. You don’t need a separate generator to store or maintain in case you lose power.

A generator of similar quality to the 2.0-Kilowatt generator on gas F150s will cost you slightly more that Ford’s $995. Ford’s $750 fee would be more than enough to find a generator that can match the optional 7.2- Kilowatt generator found on hybrid F-150s.

The F-150’s unique power feature is a great value when you consider its versatility and price. F-150 owners now have the ability to simply start their trucks and plug-in using household electronics.
