Yup, Ford caught GM and Ram flat footed on this option. Guessing it will be available on the 2022 models though. As a travel trailer camper and do remote camping every now and then this oem generator option is really interesting as I find loading and unloading my 3500 watt Champion generator a real pain. Much prefer my 6.2L Chevy V-8 over the Ford V-6 teapot but the Ford Generator option has me thinking for sure.
They used to sell a switch with an outlet at autoparts stores for about $10. You hooked it to your alternator. The switch bypassed your alternators voltage regulator. I am sure that lots of people here used them. The field coils and diodes in alternators back then were rated to take over 120 volts. I used to have one in my old Ford Sedan that I used frequently for drills and skill saws when at a place where there was no power. The voltage was DC but any motor with brushes worked fine. I would just turn the idle up until I got the amount of voltage necessary for the power tool. I ususally ran it at about 100 volts with no load.
The way that alternators are wired these days would not allow this for the most part.
