2021 Ford F-150 hybrid
Seen it can tow up to 14,000# and the electric motor can act as a generator producing between 2.4-7.2 kilowatts depending on configuration. Sounds like a good match for RV owners.

I will be much more impressed if the payload package is more obtainable and can be combined with the higher towing ratings. It has been almost impossible to get for the last 6 years and required seemingly unrelated compromises if you did special order it.
I just went through pricing out a fully loaded Lariat Crew Cab 4wd with max trailer tow package. I looked at the description of the max trailer tow package and found this comment:
"Includes:
• 3.55 Electronic-locking Rear-Axle (axle is changed to 3.73 Electronic-locking differential if ordered with Heavy-Duty Payload Package)"
Even though I never even saw a box for selecting the 3.73 gears or Heavy Duty Payload Package the summary shows 3.73 gears. It seems that Ford selected that for me. And every option that I could find was allowed!
It seems that Ford has finally gotten serious about equipping the F150 to handle the tongue weight associated with the tow ratings!
And just for comparison, the cost including the hybrid engine was $70,000. The sticker price for my 2016 Lariat was $60,000 so I am looking at about a 16% price increase. Considering inflation along with all of the performance upgrades that seems to be pretty fair.
