You've seen the ads on TV. Just plug it in right there and it will run the house. Doesn't mention the 220V appliances. I'm not a genius but I'm thinking it's very limited what will run off a pickup generator.

Interesting! 7.2 KW max. How much KW does a furnace in a home use? it depends alot on what your furnace is 7200 watts /120volts = 60 amps 7200 wars / 240 volts = 30 amps so most gas or oil should be no problem

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I don’t think spending $83,000 on a generator is good math It’s a nice to have not a must have for me. plus 16 grand to set your house up for it

So Ford has found a new way to burn your house down?
Weren't they the ones self immolating themselves in folks garages? Looks like it. I know a farmer who burned his house down with a PTO generator ran by a tractor. Didn't generate enough power, wiring got hot and burned the house during a blizzard/ice storm. I raised one eyebrow the first time I saw the Ford commercial.

But will it charge your Ford Lightening when it's cold out. I highly doubt it.
