Ford is adding a lot of power to there 2021 F150. I am sure the F250 will not be far behind.

With 7.2kW on board would you need a camper battery?

 

I am sure someone could find a way to change the Hybrid battery by solar. At what the new truck would cost I am sure I will not be getting one. But this could be a game changer in the future.

That's a big'ish generator. 

 

But you still need a way to store the power for use when the truck isn't running.  That said, you could charge a 100AH LiFePo4 battery really fast with that much power on tap (7200WH = 576A at 12.5V) 

 

By the way, 7.2KW = 9.6HP.  You would think they could generate more KW than that with a healthy truck motor.  I suspect electrical cooling is the limitation.
