Power & Run Time

The Ford FG7750PE

Ford FG7750PE is equipped with a 420 cc Ducar OHV 4-stroke engine, running on gasoline and providing 120/240V, boasting a running wattage of 6,250W alongside a starting wattage of 7,750W.

The generator is rated for a noise of 76 dBA (less noisy than a vacuum cleaner). Its starting mechanisms include a conventional pull-start mechanism and a convenient and efficient electric starter (battery included).

Thanks to a fuel capacity of 6.6 gallons, the FG7750PE can operate for around 10.5 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.63 GPH).

Outlets

The control panel features 6 AC outlets as follows:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI

120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle

120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle

Though it may not be labeled as 'RV Ready,' this Ford generator offers the benefit of hassle-free RV connectivity through its L5-30R receptacle, allowing you to easily power your RV with the assistance of an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the FG7750PE is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.

Portability

At L30 x W29.5 x H25 in, the traditional open frame structure of the Ford FG7750PE ensures stability while facilitating convenient maintenance access to components and promoting air cooling. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.

Even at 181 lbs, the generator is categorized as 'portable,' suggesting its movability, although its weight impede its portability. Nevertheless, it can still be moved quite conveniently with the help of its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, once it is placed on the ground.

Features

The FG7750PE's control panel

A digital data center, one of the features of the FG7750PE's control panel, gives you information on the lifetime run hours, and thus, is helpful for the monitoring of its activity and status.

Equipped with a built-in fuel gauge, the generator facilitates swift gas level checks.

From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, giving you a peace of mind during use.

In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Ford FG7750PE also includes several accessories: tool kit, funnel and oil.

The Ford FG7750PE versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Ford FG7750PE compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).

• With a dry weight of 181 pounds, the Ford FG7750PE finds itself in the expected weight range for generators able to produce between 5500 and 6500 rated watts. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, standing at just 118 lbs.
• If compared to generators capable of producing a similar running wattage, this generator with a lowest emitted noise of 76 dBA can be considered somewhat noisy. If noise is a concern for you, you could consider the Honda EU7000iS, which is one of the least noisy generators in its power range, rated at 52 dBA.
• With around 10.5 hours of runtime at a 50% load on a full tank, the FG7750PE is in line with the average autonomy range for generators of comparable power. If concerned with autonomy, one of the products of a comparable power output, which offers the highest run time, is the Predator 6500, boasting with around 14.5 hours.
• Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary to get the full picture. The generator burns fuel at a rate of around 0.63 GPH when running at a 50% load, which is consistent with the average fuel usage of models of comparable power output. To prioritize fuel savings, we advise considering the A-iPower SUA7000L, which stands out for its gasoline efficiency, consuming just 0.36 gallons per hour.
