Description

Zoom on the Ford FG7750PBE

To sum up, the Ford FG7750PBE is a portable generator tailored for:

  • Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
  • Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
  • Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure

In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The Ford FG7750PBE in use

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.

Operating with a noise rating of 76 dBA (less noisy than a shower), this generator offers two starting options: a manual recoil starter system and a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included).

As for its running time, the FG7750PBE, along with its 6.6 gallons fuel capacity, can run for around 10.5 hours at 50% load with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.63 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for around 8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.59 GPH).

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 6 AC outlets:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle
120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle

This Ford generator isn't quite RV Ready, but it features an L5-30R receptacle, allowing a simple RV connection through an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, since the FG7750PBE bears a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it is easily connectible to a breaker box and can power your home in case of a power outage.

Portability

Measuring L30 x W29.5 x H25 in, the classic open frame construction of the Ford FG7750PBE provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

As the generator's weight is 201 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

Features

The FG7750PBE's control panel

A digital data center, one of the features of the FG7750PBE's control panel, gives you information on the lifetime run hours, and thus, is helpful for the monitoring of its activity and status.

Benefiting from its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows for easy and immediate gas level inspections.

As for its security measures, the device features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, letting you use it with a peace of mind.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Ford FG7750PBE features extra accessories: oil, propane hose, tool kit and funnel.

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).

  • As its dry weight is 201 pounds, the Ford FG7750PBE is one of the heaviest of the dual fuel products which can generate 5500 to 6500 running watts. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, with a dry weight of only 118 lbs.
  • The generator can be considered average in its noise for its type and power category, as it is rated at 76 dBA. If noise is a concern for you, you could consider the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, which is one of the least noisy generators in its power range, rated at 62 dBA.
  • At 50% load, the FG7750PBE achieves one of the longer run times compared to dual fuel devices of similar power, sustaining operations for around 10.5 hours. If run time is one of your main concerns, the Firman H05752 could be worth looking at. It boasts one of the highest run times among units of comparable power, lasting around 12 hours.
  • While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. Compared to similar devices, this generator is less fuel-efficient than most: it burns around 0.63 gallons of gasoline per hour at a 50% load. If you're placing a high priority on fuel consumption, the DuroMax XP7000iH, with a low fuel consumption rate of 0.38 GPH, could be an option to consider.

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.

    I’m very happy with my generator. Easy on the pull start and the electric start works great. I haven’t had to use it yet in a power outage but I think lm ready.

    + PROS:
    • Easy start. Fairly quiet.
    - CONS:
    • Had a hard time figuring out the connection of the battery.
