It's part of their new hybrid package. I think it has a large
battery that powers the inverter up to a point, and if you use
too much power, it starts the engine to supplement. The
generator also runs as a motor as a supplement to the gas
engine, but only for short bursts. The braking is hybrid
regen/friction, so if you are "light" on the brakes, that
energy goes into the battery. Based on what I've read about it,
the only energy that goes into the big battery while you're
driving is from the regen.
I presume (but don't know) that there is some way to charge the
big battery via an AC plug?

So is a separate generator driven from the main engine?

The new F150 that they're referring to has MUCH more power
than that, up to 7.2kW.

We have an F150 that's a few years old now that has a
400 watt inverter. Not particularly useful for house
backup. That's why we have a generator that can run the
house.

The inverter that powered the outlet in the bed of my
Nissan Titan was adequate to run power tools all day.
I'd think something like the Ford would be even better
for powering your trailers maybe! Be quiet, and one
less thing to maintain and fuel up too.

I have had it with the piece of shit Onan
generator on the fiber trailer. If the splicing
trailer didn’t have a built in fuel tank I would
just strap a Honda on and be done with it, but I
would prefer something with a fuel pump.
