You got me to reading. I didn't realize the 2000-watt inverter was available in non-hybrid F-150s. Let me quote a piece from an article.
The standard 12-volt
electrical architecture couldn't provide what they needed, so Sultana and her team designed a whole new 24-volt
electrical system, using two conventional 12-volt batteries in addition to the standard
battery.
In addition to those batteries, Pro Power-equipped non-hybrid F-150s get a second alternator.

It would be nice to hear from someone with one of these trucks. I don't see why it wouldn't do what you want while driving. I am at my daughter's house, and I am plugged into an outlet that has a 10-amp breaker. Everything works fine except the AC, and I have been using
propane everywhere to tax it less.
This would be great to run your AC when you need to take the edge off of a hot trailer. Your truck is much quieter than even the quiet generators. I can't really hear my truck running from inside my
BigFoot when I remote start it.
