To get the 9.7 you have to get either Lariat or Platinum Trim. 9.7 is nothing when it comes to powering a house. You can run a mid sized AC and a fridge at the same time, maybe charge a phone. Oh whoopee.

Lariat starts at $67,474.00 and Platinum at $90,874.00 MSRP, and that's without any type of dealer "market adjustment".

A lot of coin for a 1/2 ton truck you can not even get until 2023 maybe unless you're already on the list, that can half arse power your house, and if you rack up a lot of miles what is the battery lifespan? The overall truck probably has an overall lifespan of 8-10 years max with a lot of use, maybe less if you're in the rustbelt.

I can buy a 48KW natural gas powered generator, and all the other needed equipment, which can power everything in a house with a 200 amp service, for less than $25,000.00 installed. A setup that will still be sitting waiting to go when needed 20-30 years after it's installed and not be a depreciated rusted out chunk of steel and plastic sitting in some scrap yard.

Yeah, but can you use your generator to haul horse **** from Lowes to fertilize your gardens?

What's thee matter with you pips? Hitting the comments section before you Monday morning coffee.:h

The whole point is that F150 Lightning had this extra in a breakthrough creative thinking.

And imagine how many deaths been prevented had they have this in their garage in Texas during the states deep freeze. Of course, it's not cheaper than going to Cancun but if you have an RV, California can be a cheaper escape.:W
