Summary
The Ford FG18KVTWTCO is a 14,500-watt tri-fuel generator built on a 713cc Ducar V-Twin engine. It runs on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, letting users switch fuels based on availability and storage constraints. The 18,000-watt starting capacity handles motor inrush loads for air compressors, welders, and heavy construction equipment. This is a stationary workhorse for whole-house backup and jobsite power, not a grab-and-go unit.
The Genmax GM17000iETC is a 13,500-watt tri-fuel inverter generator that delivers whole-house backup power or heavy-duty worksite capacity. Running on gasoline, propane, or natural gas gives owners real flexibility when traditional fuel sources are unavailable or delayed during extended outages. The 3% THD output keeps laptops, medical devices, and home theater systems safe from power distortion that conventional generators cause.
