Short answer is no. It is only 400watts. Most coffee pots and kettles are 1,000watts or greater. Sucks, Ford has GM beat still with the pro power on board set up.

What you can do however is get a portable power pack like a Jarkery, pick one that has at least a 1,300-1,500 short term max output and run your coffee maker off that. Then you can plug in the Jackery to the truck while driving to recharge the battery. Works pretty well for me. I was working on an inverter set up to do the same and decided to go that route instead or running 0 gauge power leads to the inverter. Like the portable option as well.

John , thanks again …. We are on a camping trip from Mass to Utah and we have a couple boondocks nights and my wife just asked me if we could , not being sure I sent it out here . I have a Honda generator in the trucks bed …. I guess just for this reason
