Because the truck lights up like a Christmas tree when “on.” You can shut off most of it but then you have the vehicle power down timer to worry about.

Pro power when “off” is also extremely useful if you’re powering a camp site or just want the convenience of pressing one button to activate vs needing to turn off climate, the various screens, radio, etc. when running the generator for a long time.
Would the FORScan "silent mode" otherwise called "dark mode" help? I turned this on with its selective Sync toggle and we use it when camping overnight.

HOW TO is in this post:

So, you're telling us that with the truck OFF, Doors locked, no key in pocket,, you can walk up to the bed, push the little green button next to the outlets and the ProPower will turn on?
Yes. It’s a standard feature for 24/25 that is supposed to come to 22/23 via software update “eventually.” There’s a toggle in the sync screen that you have to enable and then the outlets must be activated within so many minutes of the door being closed.

Quite possibly! I have a 24 so it’s less of an issue for me but I did this mod last night to try it out when camping this weekend. If nothing else, silent mode should stop the truck lighting up if I’m parked too close to the camper or if I need to get something out of the bed at night.

I believe Silent mode or dark/campground mode is only "dark" when the vehicle is off. So if you lock/unlock doors or open/close doors, the lights always stay off and the horn doesn't honk with the fob lock command.

Useful for getting something out of the truck or locking/unlocking while it's off.

Once you turn the truck on, I think this mode is no longer active unfortunately. :( But please test.

I agree the Ford software is horrible. the nav always takes me to dead end roads, private roads with locked gates. I use Apple Maps and ABRP (a better route planner). both can add NACS and CCS chargers.
