That's pretty cool actually.  I'm good for a truck for a long time but if that had been around when I was shopping it might have made a difference.

OK, that grand is on top of the pricey, I assume, sticker price of the hybrid truck , not the regular gas version. Still for a contractor that needs power tools off grid , sure beats one of those power inverters looking at the stuff it can power.  https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-ford-f-150-powerboost-hybrid-features-and-specs/

It is somewhat interesting that we all have a big giant engine parked in our driveway yet we’re expected to buy a generator specifically for providing power to where we are. You’d think a simple outlet on all vehicles would be an easy thing to put in. Enough power to heat a room to stop the pipes from freezing. Heck I’ve got a Diesel engine in my driveway the thing can idle for days on hardly and fuel

I look at this option and think it would be awesome for powering your camper off grid without having to haul along a generator.
