A loud 7000 watt (8750 peak) generator runs about $600:

However, it weighs over 200lbs, and is really noisy.

It runs 9 hours at idle. I wonder how long the ford will run at low wattages, and how the gallons per hour compares between the two. (Presumably the hybrid truck does much better at low wattage than the generator or the conventional truck).

Per the article, ~85 hours


I didn’t catch that detail. It’s only for the hybrid, but it is really impressive!
