What is this yellow adapter(?) that came with my Lightning?

My 23 Lariat ER came with a slip of paper identifying the adapter and where to buy one.

why doesn't ford's pro power just come as a common 14-50 outlet like the cybertruck?

because it's a 'mobile' power source, and therefore requires a more substantial 'twist lock' safety mechanism, versus the typical 'fixed' 14-50 outlet... generators have this same twist lock outlet for the same reasons... your truck is just a large generator. Since the CT comes with a bed cover on as stock, they may be able to argue that it is always 'covering' the outlet, where the Lightning does not come with a bed cover.
Also, Ford has been supplying these 30amp outlets for several years on the HYBRID models with proPower, so it stands to reason that they just continue the same with the Lightning... that's like many Campers and RVs that come with the twist lock, and others are hard-wired...

I'll agree that it would be easier, for sure, although i use a 'dogbone' dongle adapter, which makes it a little less cumbersome when accessing the 30amp 240v ProPower bed outlet...

Here are some pics of the adapter that came with the truck.

They also sell them on Amazon and other places, probably for a bit less than Ford.

Strange that Ford is still randomly including these in MY23 builds, my June 2022 build didn't get one, or the PDI crew lifted it.

Same, I figured the PDI crew ended up with the adapter pack.

I got one of these yellow adaptors in my used '22 Lariant ER. I thought it was an aftermarket purchase by the previous owner. Interesting....

My 23 XLT SR with pro-power onboard came with this adapter, the dealer didn't know why. I have used it in the pro-power onboard 240 outlet to charge my Volvo 17kw plug-in hybrid.

23 Lariat ER here and I didn’t get one either. But now I’m interested in buying one.
