High Output Onboard Inverter & Generator Mode - Initial Test Results (2024 Trailhunter)

[trailhunger]

One thing I didn’t try today was the USB-C plugs on the opposite side of the bed. Guessing they are the same. Truck running, AC 120 on etc etc.

Yep last I checked on the manual, the 120v accessory switch also turns on the DC & air compressor side. I tried yesterday to power my iPhone in accessory mode and the USB-C bed outlet was dead. From what I understand the only OEM ‘accessories’ that work in that mode are the infotainment, front Qi console, A/C (for a few minutes) & lighting suite.

I took delivery last Thursday / got home Saturday and the AC inverter was the first deep dive for me. Still learning the truck. Amazing machine.

Figured as much. We are loving our truck as well. Heading out on a big road trip shortly- Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. Should be a blast!

At what battery level does the engine kick in?

It would be annoying as hell to have it kicking in frequently if the battery levels are above say, 20%

Only God and a few Toyota engineers know that one. Could very well be a SOC that varies based on ambient temperature, inverter load, etc. If you don’t want to hear a generator cycling, then don’t run it as a generator. System is DC, there’s conversion loss to get it to AC, and while yes a cycling engine idling can be annoying, just think of how annoyed the designers were trying to make all these features work within the laws of electrical engineering.
