Whether you’re headed to a job site, setting up camp in the great outdoors, or throwing a tailgate party before the big game, Ford’s Pro Power Onboard makes it easier than ever to bring power along for the ride. Available on popular Ford models like the F-150 and the all-new Ford Lightning, Pro Power Onboard turns your truck into a mobile generator, providing reliable power for everything from heavy tools to camping lights.

Let’s explore how Pro Power Onboard can elevate your adventures and simplify your workdays.

What Is Ford's Pro Power Onboard?

Pro Power Onboard is a built-in generator system offered on select Ford trucks and designed to help you take power wherever you go. Unlike portable generators, Ford’s Pro Power Onboard system is seamlessly integrated into the vehicle, giving you the convenience of an on-the-go power supply without lugging around extra equipment. With outlets located in the truck bed, it’s easy to plug in, power up, and keep going.

Ford’s Pro Power Onboard is offered in three output levels:

  • 2.0 kW – Perfect for small tools and recreational equipment

  • 2.4 kW – Available on hybrid models for powering medium-duty devices

  • 7.2 kW – Offered on the PowerBoost™ Hybrid F-150, this powerhouse can handle heavy-duty tools or even power a small RV.

Power Levels Explained: Which One Do You Need?

Let’s dive a little deeper into these power levels so you can decide which one best fits your lifestyle and needs.

2.0 kW: Power for the Essentials

The 2.0 kW output is available on gas-powered F-150 models. This level is ideal for handling essentials like small power tools, a TV and speakers for tailgating, or camping lights. Think of it as a dependable power supply for weekend projects and outdoor fun. If you’re someone who spends a lot of time outdoors or likes to be ready for anything, the 2.0 kW output is a great option.

2.4 kW: Hybrid Power for Longer Days

Available with the F-150’s PowerBoost™ Hybrid engine, the 2.4 kW output level gives you a bit more flexibility, allowing you to power up more tools and equipment without worrying about draining your battery. It’s designed for those who need a reliable power source for moderate-duty tasks and extended workdays. This power level is ideal for contractors, DIY enthusiasts, or anyone who needs a steady supply for multiple power tools at once.

7.2 kW: Serious Power for Serious Jobs

For heavy-duty needs, the 7.2 kW output level on the PowerBoost™ Hybrid F-150 is an absolute game-changer. This level is ideal for powering major equipment like jackhammers, large saws, or even a whole tailgating setup with appliances. Imagine powering an entire worksite, or all the lighting, music, and cooking equipment for the ultimate outdoor party! The 7.2 kW option lets you do it all without missing a beat.

How to Use Pro Power Onboard: Simple Setup, Massive Output

Using Pro Power Onboard is incredibly simple. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:

  1. Turn on Your Truck – Pro Power Onboard is activated when your truck is running or in accessory mode.

  2. Access the Outlets – Outlets are located in the truck bed, so all you need to do is plug in. For added convenience, the F-150 includes multiple 120V outlets and, with the 7.2 kW system, a 240V outlet as well.

  3. Monitor Power Usage – Use the dashboard or FordPass™ App to check on power levels and monitor output. You’ll be able to see exactly how much power you’re using, helping you manage your devices for maximum efficiency.

Pro Power Onboard: Perfect for Work and Play

Whether you’re using your Ford F-150 or F-150 Lightning for work or recreation, Pro Power Onboard makes your truck an essential part of the action. Here’s how it fits seamlessly into different activities:

  • Tailgating: With enough power to run a TV, speakers, and a portable grill, Pro Power Onboard takes your tailgate game to the next level. Just load up the bed with gear, plug in, and enjoy game day.

  • Camping: Say goodbye to lanterns and batteries. You can power up lights, a small refrigerator, or even an electric stove—so you’re camping with all the comforts of home.

  • Construction Sites: Tackle even the toughest jobs with confidence. Plug in saws, compressors, drills, or any other tool you need. It’s perfect for contractors who want a reliable, powerful, and quiet solution for any job site.

  • Emergencies: In a power outage, Pro Power Onboard can keep essential devices running. It’s like having a generator at home, but you can take it wherever you go.
