The all-new Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck will have two very interesting power export features. The first is Pro Power Onboard system with multiple electric outlets, while the second is the more advanced Intelligent Backup Power capability to power an entire house.

Let's get into details of what it really is.

Pro Power Onboard

The Pro Power Onboard is an amazing productivity feature that should really enhance the use case for many F-150 users that would like to power tools, electronics and appliances away from home.

We already saw a 7.2 kW outlet (240V) on F-150 Hybrid, but in the all-electric version, there will be more power and more outlets.

As standard in Lariat and Platinum trims and as an option in XLT trim (regardless of the battery version), the Ford F-150 Lightning will be equipped with a 9.6 kW Pro Power Onboard system (11 outlets).

The 9.6 kWh value is the total power for all the outlets combined, but individually the outlets are limited: up to 2.4 kW available through the frunk and up to 7.2 kW through outlets in the cab and bed:

two 120 V outlets in the cab
four 120 V outlets in the front trunk (there are also one USB-C and one USB-A in the frunk)
four 120 V outlets in the bed
one 240 V outlet in the bed

* the XLT trim has only 120 V outlets: two in the cab, two in the bed and four in the trunk.

That's a pretty awesome combination that should address most of the needs. Ford even released an infographic, presenting what can be powered using this system:

With a battery capacity north of 100 kWh, there should be no problem powering up external devices for long hours.

We want your opinion!
