Terrible Feature - Truck Shuts Off On It's Own?!?!

[putz173]

probably should have bought a diesel for that as thats not a very common use case for a gas motor

 

i sleep in mine hunting and fishing in the winter here in Ontario, i just turn it on to take out the chill under a sleeping bag and turn it off till the cold wakes me up in a few hours and repeat

 

the led headlights and task lights if equipped should stay on

I don’t think anyone realizes the major fault with this . If you are using your 120 v Invertor goodbye batteries . Yiu need truck running to use it or you kill your batteries . Sorry people any job that takes over 15 minutes with my power tool you will have to call Ford lol  omg no way just kidding 

IIRC the Inverter is controlled by the RAP system, so it will turn off before the starter battery is drained.

That said, yes Ford is WAY ahead in terms of on-site power. The Pro Power system is a game changer for that and GM & FCA need a similar option.

I’m not sure if the T1’s have the secondary battery tray like the K2’s do, but on the K2’s it’s relatively simple to fit a secondary battery, isolator and a large inverter to provide power independent of the starter battery but still charged off the alternator.
