Temps were in the high 80’s and mid 90’s during that time. Trailer has a 12v refrigerator, 80 watt solar panel, and 15,000 btu AC unit. Went camping in a 30 foot travel trailer this past week for four nights. Just a regular dude with a truck that happens to have an onboard generator. Disclaimer: I have very limited knowledge and experience with electricity and electrical systems. Haven’t been able to find a lot of details on real life user experience with the PB’s optional onboard generator, so I thought I’d share.

(On non-hybrid F-150s, the engine has to be running for Pro Power to work.I have a 2021 Powerboost with 7.2kw Pro Power Onboard (PPO) and 30 gal gas tank. And on hybrid models, Pro Power will automatically turn on the gasoline engine as needed to ensure consistent power flow without draining the battery. If you try to pull too much power, the system disables itself and sends you a notification.

The system can be enabled or monitored through the FordPass smartphone app or via the truck’s infotainment system.

You are using power converted from the battery with this generator system. The 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid Generator can run without the engine being on, fuel usage is minimal. The truck will need to run to power a non-hybrid truck’s generator. The generator system is completely separated from the rest of the vehicle’s electrical system, adding a layer of safety and ensuring that any Pro Power system problems will not impact the drivability of the truck.

Thus equipped, F-150s with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, or 5.0-liter V-8 can power a full tailgating setup with a TV, speakers, and a mini fridge. In addition to those batteries, Pro Power-equipped non-hybrid F-150s get a second alternator. The standard 12-volt electrical architecture couldn’t provide what they needed, so Sultana and her team designed a whole new 24-volt electrical system, using two conventional 12-volt batteries in addition to the standard battery. That, Sultana says, was much more complicated. If you don’t need that much wattage, Ford says the 2.4-kW system can run a jackhammer or a mobile theater setup complete with a projector, loudspeakers, and popcorn machine for up to 85 hours.įord only expects about 10 percent of new F-150s will be hybrids, so it was important to offer Pro Power with the conventional drivetrains. That mobile welding shop can run for 32 hours continuously on a full tank, making all-day, heavy-duty work possible. Ford claims that the top-spec 7.2-kW system can power a plasma cutter, TiG welder, chop saw, air compressor, angle grinder, and work light, simultaneously. F-150s with conventional non-hybrid drivetrains get a 2.0-kW system, while hybrid trucks get upgraded to 2.4 kW or, optionally, a massive 7.2 kW of power, made possible by the hybrid’s 48-volt lithium-ion battery pack. Three different onboard generator systems are available. So basically, we are providing like five times more than that,” Nigar Sultana, the engineer in charge of Pro Power Onboard, said. “Right now, the traditional outlets provide 150 or 400 watts of power. Ford has called this generator “Pro-Power Onboard”. The 2-kW output is the standard option on gas models, which is enough to run power tools, mini fridges, loudspeakers, and more. We all know that adding plugins to vehicles isn’t new but this generator has a power output of 2 kW, 2.4 kW, or 7.2 kW. Ford upped the workhorse potential of its new 2021 F150 by adding a box generator option.
