2023 Ford F150 Powerboost

[Thai]

After this hurricane Beryl, I will be a Ford owner for life as long as the generator option is offered. It is a LIFE SAVER! Saves my family from a lot of headache and suffering!!

Only 3 homes in my subdivision have power the past 48 hours. Two of them have whole home Generac generator (which is surprisingly loud...i can hear it clearly 4 houses down!!). And then there is mine with my little truck that runs (intermittently) so quietly. We (family and mother in law) slept at night in the master bedroom at 76 degrees AC + fan + charging my Jackery units! My truck generator worked as advertised!

We can't even go to a hotel since power outage is city and neighboring cities-wide! And because of job requirement, the option of getting out of town to escape hurricane is not on the table.

I highly recommend my truck without reservation. Proud of it.

I did find the limit of the 7.2 generator.

I had the lights on in the house, fans running via active outlets, 2 Jackery units charging, 2 fridges (main big fridge + smaller fridge), and 1 central AC for master bedroom. The generator would shut down when everything was ON. Main culprit(s): the Jackery Explorer Pro 2000 drinks A LOT of juice when charging it…….which my truck can do easily…..but then when the two fridges would turn on AND then the AC kicked on….overloaded my poor truck generator!

So, when charging the Jackery Pro 2000, i had to shut off the AC unit……and my truck charged it with ease (along with powering everything else above). Once i finish charging the Jackery Pro 2000, then i can run AC again. My smaller Jackery units (1000 & 1500) had no impact at all when charging them…so i could run AC and charge these smaller Jackery units. But boy, that big Jackery Pro 2000 is a juice hog!

The truck runs intermittently when using it for generator only?

Yes, it only runs to recharge the Lithium battery. So it runs every 20-30 min or so depends on load/usage...it runs for 2-3 min and then stops.

Gotcha. Sounds like a good setup. A bit pricey like most vehicles these days. I don't think I'll ever find myself buying a pickup, either. But glad you're enjoying it.
