Pro Power can’t run a 15 amp saw

[JLee]

At least you got a loaner. The dealers around me offer no loaner at all

Wow, really? I think my extended warranty even has loaner/rental coverage.

Dropped it off at the dealer yesterday morning - now we wait.

I got a Bronco Sport as a loaner..

that's a strange replacement for a saw

oh wait

I got it, never mind.

Any update?

I've used a Makita 10" miter saw a few times on the bed outlets now without issue.

Diagnosis defective inverter - parts ordered and should be at the dealer this week. No ETA on the defective mobile charger.

Picked it up today (Jan 7) with the disclaimer of "they replaced the inverter but have not had enough time to test it yet" (dropped off Dec 7). Still no ETA on the replacement mobile charger.

Get home, test it - same issue. Front outlets work fine, rear outlets not so much.

I'm not sure what to do now - I have a strong preference for an EV for my commute and I don't really want to let them have the truck for another month, but on the other hand it'd be nice if it all worked properly. I picked it up 72 days ago, and 31 of them have been at the dealer.

Are you able to test an equivalent miter saw on the rear outlets?

Assuming the need to run this saw is not a crucial requirement, I would drive the truck and enjoy it for some time, then well before the warranty has expired, have the service department revisit the issue, unless you want to risk having it stuck with them, ask if they can do a short turn around just for diagnostic test assuming it's something simple, like the second inverter is dudd like the original, they can order another one for quick install later.

There's this TSB for ICE F150s, blaming connectors.

And this one, blaming software limits.

Definitely not a crucial requirement, though I happened to just find a similar issue and there may be a hardware workaround: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...-handle-a-circular-saw.3240/page-4#post-55022

An odd oversight given the heavy marketing of a 'work truck.'
