....we lost power today for about 7 hours. Plugged in the 240v plug in the bed to my solar inverter to save the wear and tear on my generator.

My power went out within a week of installing my Generac transfer switch. I was pumped. The power hasn't gone out since. ☹
I feel your pain, had the same thing happen to me after I had our whole home gen installed. Funny how that works. We get these things just in case but hope we never need and get bent when we don't actually need them, lol. It's almost like paying a lot of money for nothing.

Peace of mind is priceless.

Yup. We've used ours multiple times now, and it is so much nicer than listening to the generator droning on and on and on...
Not to mention the cost of NG.

This truck’s Power on Board saved our butts and everything perishable in our fridges and freezers during hurricane Helene, a year ago. My storage batteries run low because the getaway module malfunctioned. The truck picked up the mess and saved us from total darkness.
This is the best money I have spend for this truck with no regrets even for 1 minute. The buffed and wonderous looks I got when I brought this beast home. No more. It does many things very very quietly.

I noticed on the picture at the bottom that you have a switch to keep outlets on while vehicle is off. I do not have that on my 23 Lariat. How do you get that? The last software update I received was for Blue Cruise 1.4 which I think gets me up to date.
