| 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 Predator 13,000 Watt Tri-Fuel Portable Generator offers versatile fuel options, including gasoline, propane, and natural gas, making it suitable for emergencies, jobsites, and home backup. It features a remote start capability and CO SECURE technology for enhanced safety. |
