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.

I have it in my 2023 King Ranch- the 220v runs 7.2kw max. I ran submersible pumps towing a trailer for tree watering, the only thing I used it for but it was handy.

Interesting! 7.2 KW max. How much KW does a furnace in a home use?

More than enough for any gas, propane or fuel oil furnace.

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

I don’t think spending $83,000 on a generator is good math grin
It’s a nice to have not a must have for me.

for 16 grand you could just get a generator on an auto switch


for about 500 you could put in a nice transfer switch for the furnace , well , lift pump , freezers and beer fridge.

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.
