Outdoor adventures in North Idaho often take you far from traditional power sources. Whether you’re camping near Priest Lake, tailgating before a big game, or working at a remote job site, having reliable electricity can make all the difference. That’s where Ford’s Pro Power Onboard comes in: a built-in power system that turns your Ford into a mobile generator.
At Mike White Ford in Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, Idaho, we see firsthand how Pro Power Onboard is changing the way drivers use their trucks and SUVs for work and recreation.
What Is Ford Pro Power Onboard?
Pro Power Onboard is an available onboard electrical system available in some Ford vehicles that provides usable electrical power directly from your vehicle. Instead of hauling a separate generator, your Ford can supply electricity through built-in standard outlets located in the bed of a truck or vehicle cabin.
Depending on the model and configuration, Pro Power Onboard can deliver enough power to run tools, appliances, or recreational gear, making it ideal for outdoor trips and off-grid adventures.
Perfect for Camping and Outdoor Recreation
Camping in the Inland Northwest often means beautiful scenery — but with limited comfort amenities. Pro Power Onboard allows you to bring modern convenience into the outdoors without sacrificing comfort. With Pro Power Onboard, you can power:
- Electric grills or coffee makers
- Lights, fans, or portable heaters
- Phone chargers, cameras, and laptops
- Air pumps for mattresses or inflatable paddleboards
Instead of relying on battery packs or propane equipment, you can enjoy consistent power throughout your trip.
Ideal for Tailgating and Events
Tailgating is a major part of football season and community events throughout North Idaho. Pro Power Onboard makes it easy to set up the ultimate tailgate. From running TVs and speakers to powering slow cookers or warming trays, your Ford becomes the center of the action. You get reliable power without the noise or hassle of a traditional generator.
A Huge Advantage for DIY Projects and Remote Work
Outdoor trips aren’t always just for fun. Pro Power Onboard is also a valuable tool for homeowners, contractors, and outdoor enthusiasts tackling projects away from traditional outlets. It can power saws, drills, compressors, and chargers for:
- Cabin maintenance
- Remote job sites
- Home improvement projects
- Emergency backup power situations
Being able to simply drive your vehicle to where you need power saves time and adds flexibility.
