Description
Zoom on the Ford FG7750PBE
In a few words, the Ford FG7750PBE is a portable generator perfectly suited for:
- Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.
Power & Run Time
The Ford FG7750PBE
Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the Ford FG7750PBE delivers 120/240V and offers power and versatility. When gasoline-powered, it benefits from a running wattage of 6,250W and a peak wattage of 7,750W. When propane-powered, it has 6,000 rated watts and 7,500 peak watts.
Ford’s patented Switch & Go technology allows you to switch from propane to gasoline or from gasoline to propane while the generator is running.
The generator features a manual recoil starter system and also a convenient and efficient electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 76 dBA (less noisy than a dishwasher).
In terms of run time, the FG7750PBE, boasting a 6.6 gallons fuel tank, can run for around 10.5 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.63 gallons per hour). Additionally, it provides around 8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.59 GPH) of operation with propane.
Outlets
The control panel features the following 6 AC outlets:
Despite not meeting the 'RV Ready' criteria, this Ford generator grants the advantage of simple RV compatibility via its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to conveniently power your RV by using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, as the FG7750PBE holds a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: you'll easily be able to connect it to your breaker box to power your home during a power outage.
Portability
With its L30 x W29.5 x H25 in dimensions, the open frame structure of the Ford FG7750PBE provides stability, simplified maintenance access to components, and better air cooling than enclosed units. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.
With a weight of 201 lbs, the generator is still labeled as 'portable,' denoting its ability to be moved, although its heaviness might restrict easy portability. Nevertheless, thanks to its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle (a decent solution to its lack of maneuverability), the generator can be easily moved, once placed the ground.
Features
The FG7750PBE's control panel
With a digital data center integrated into its control panel, the FG7750PBE provides real-time insights into the lifetime run hours, enabling easy monitoring of its status and activity.
The fuel level of the generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.
From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during operation.
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Ford FG7750PBE also includes several accessories: funnel, tool kit, propane hose and oil.

The Ford FG7750PBE versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Ford FG7750PBE compare to dual fuel generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- With a weight of 201 lbs, the Ford FG7750PBE sits in the heaviest end of the spectrum among dual fuel generators rated from 5500 to 6500 watts. if you wish to prioritize weight, the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO is one of the top contenders in its power category, weighing only 118 pounds.
- With noise emissions reaching as low as 76 dBA, this generator has a noise level typical for devices of its type and power category. If you’d prefer a less noisy device, one of the most quiet devices, which share the same power range with this one, is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, whose lowest noise levels reach just 62 dBA.
- With a run time of around 10.5 hours at 50% load, the FG7750PBE has one of the higher run times, compared to its similarly powerful peers. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the Firman H05752, with around 12 hours.
- Though run time is a significant parameter, it's closely tied to the generator's fuel tank size. To get a comprehensive understanding, fuel efficiency must also be taken into account. In terms of fuel efficiency within its wattage range, this generator falls short: it consumes approximately 0.63 GPH at a 50% load. If minimizing fuel usage is one of your key priorities, the DuroMax XP7000iH is one of the most efficient devices with similar power output, with a gasoline consumption of only 0.38 gallons per hour.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 5500-6500W dual fuel generators, the Ford FG7750PBE is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
