“The generator option is several thousand dollars.”
That comment in my precious post is not necessarily correct. It may depend on other options.
The 7200 watt inverter is only an option when you buy the hybrid powertrain. That costs an additional $4,495 in every trim level; the 7200 watt inverter is an additional $750 on top of that for a total of $5245. The power 7200 watt power inverter is obviously a come-onto get you to spend the money on the hybrid power train. The hybrid power train knocks 2300 pounds off the towing capacity of a similarly equipped diesel or gasoline powered truck.
The 2 wheel drive hybrid F-150 is rated at 25 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. The diesel powered 2 wheel drive is rated at 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined . The six cylinder gas is rated at 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. If you think the hybrid powertrain is going to save you enough money in gasoline during the time you own the truck you should probably take a remedial math course. These hybrids have an unknown reliability record... it is likely that maintenance issues could add greatly to the expense of ownership during the lifetime of the vehicle compared to gasoline or diesel engines. No one knows.
