The “it’s useful for a contractor “ suggestions obviously come from people who have not worked out of a truck building things.
From 30+ years in residential, light and heavy commercial and heavy civil construction, this “convenience” would rarely be the best option or even a viable one.
“Some” trades, some situations, yes. Can’t imagine even close to enough to make it marketable en mass for construction.
Still a cool feature , but preemptively giving it more credit than its due, or lack of understanding of power requirements.
Biggest help for contractors would be charging the batteries for all the tools. More and more contractors are using almost all battery powered tools.
For a big construction site? Eh... you're going to have power run to the site anyways so the truck generator won't help.
Smaller additions and handyman work - it would be great to have that truck power available.
But... why do I think Ford will only have the generators on fully loaded trucks?
I will be impressed if they generator is an affordable option on "base level" trucks. Whatever "base level" is considered today.
