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.

When we had numerous PSPS, they shut off the gas as well. Everyone with a built-in GENPAC was SOL and those with solar and backup were golden. I was fine with my cheap-o gas-powered generator.
Ford is the one making the claim that it can run your house.

Ok, valid point if you want to split hairs, so how about a 48KW diesel generator with a 2500 gallon tank? We've never lost gas service during blackouts, perhaps a CA thing?

Half arse powering your house is better than having no power at all.
Putting 10-ply tires on half ton trucks since aught-four.

Agreed, but you can half arse power your house with an $800 Hazard Fraught contractor genny, you certainly don't need a $70K+ pickup truck.
Back in the day Kirby made a water pump attachment for their vacuum cleaners. Nothing like buying an uber expensive vacuum cleaner at the time to pump out your basement or drain your swimming pool?

It is advertised to be able to be a back up power source to a house in case of black out. It goes without saying, therefore, that you don't need a generator nor shore power in a campsite.
Had inquiries on whether there is already truck campers customized for F150 Lightning where electric connections are in the cab and supply to the camper had to be specifically designed or hard wired.
For RVs, seems no problem with an adaptor.
Not sure, not sure... until true-to=life experience and reviews comes out from campers.
Your perception (dream) of what you’re talking about is not indicative of the top 2% IQ you claim to have.
That is all.
You may be lost dude. That rejoinder should have been in the Rivian thread.![[emoticon]](https://forums.motorhome.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/embarrassed.gif "embarrassed")

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.![[emoticon]](https://forums.motorhome.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/scratchead.gif "scratchead")
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.![[emoticon]](https://forums.motorhome.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/awink.gif "awink")

Can’t buy one no matter what the functionality is for this model year.
True dat! Ford stopped taking reservations and orders for F150 Lightning currently.
But I can sell mine, lol.
Or, I will be a ready seller in case I want to keep the Cybertruck and sell the F150.
