New Ford 150s Save the Day in Texas

Some if not many home owners in Texas were able to use the onboard generators in the new Ford 150 pickups to power a limited number of appliances such as lights, coffee, microwaves , etc. for warmth and hot food and internet, charging phones, tablets, etc. The larger the engine then the more powerful the generators.

This will send the sales of new 150s into space orbit and I may switch from Rams to Fords next go.

All the insurance cost for the damage repair in Texas will also be passed onto the rest of us.
  • On a separate note, if I had a semi load of generators, I’d have made ALOT of money!
  • That’s some great publicity.

    And a good gesture.
    We were down in Dallas during the first storm. It was more of a colossal mess than I would have imagined. We finally left last Tuesday and drove to Albuquerque to get a flight home after several flight cancellations and another snow storm on the way.
  • Some Ford dealers were loaning out their hybrid F150s with the larger generators for homes/ with no power.
  • Precisely why I keep my toyhauler gassed up and ready for an emergency such as that. We'd just move into the RV. Good on Ford for the onboard inverter/gen.

    BTW, TX was warned ten years ago that the state was inadequately prepared for a storm such as they just experienced and they failed to act on it.
