When it comes to innovation, Ford is no stranger. And back in 2021, they introduced the Onboard Power Generator for the F-150 model. This built-in generator comes as an optional feature on select F-150 models and allows drivers like those camping or on job sites to plug in various tools or appliances. For more information, continue reading down below.
Onboard Generator Options
As an optional feature, the onboard generator is installed on most F-150s. It comes in 2.0 KW, 2.4 KW, and 7.2 KW wattages and must be equipped with one of the three engine types: 2.7-liter EcoBoost, 5.0-liter V8, or 3.5-liter EcoBoost. Though it’s optional with most powertrains, the generator does come standard on any F-150 with the PowerBoost engine.
2.0 KW Onboard Generator
As the lowest power generator available, the 2.0 KW option can power tools or appliances simultaneously as long as they’re not using more than 2000 watts of power. The outlets for the generator are in the bed of the truck are dual 120V 20A outlets.
2.4 KW Onboard Generator
Only found on the F-150 PowerBoost, the 2.4 KW generator is the perfect option for when you’re looking for better power needs. This generator has a maximum run time of 32 hours on a full gas tank, and extra outlet options are available. Again, the outlets are in the truck’s bed, with four 120V and one 240V socket.
7.2 KW Onboard Generator
For the best power needs, the 7.2 KW generator found in the F-150 PowerBoost is the only way to go. This generator has the same run time and outlets as the 2.4 KW option.
