Hi

I finally found a dealer to order a 37 pkg. I was interested in the Pro Power OnBoard 2kw option. According to specs online, this option adds an additional alternator(generator) and battery. Will dual alternators reduce engine horsepower and torque or is it negligible?

I would say negligible. Nowhere near the drag of an A/C compressor. Not nothing, but not worth writing home - or to FRF about ;-)
Now I'm curious what in the heck we're going to be running @ 2k watts in the bed while were driving lol. Run an extension cord through the rear sliding window and plug in a mini fridge and 65" flat screen for Netflix and work commute

So when did they promise you a Raptor for? There is basically no drag on an alternator. Good thing is, it will be a longer belt and wont have to be replaced as soon. I wonder where the dual alternators will be mounted.

I think I'll use it for something like this (not that it needs the 2k watts):

Later next year. There's some info on the f150 forum. It looks like a 2 belt system. Maybe someone who own's a 21 could chime in.

You could use that extension cord to charge your Mach-E or whatever EV you own (in flight) as your flying down the highway. Now that would be sick AF!!
