2024 Ford F150 Lighting Flash

I went to go plug in to my 30 amp port in the bed of my truck, it's not there. Does anyone know if this is some sort of an option on the Ford F-150 2024 lightning flash.

Yes it's an option called 9.6 kW Pro Power Onboard. No way to add it after the fact. For 2024 it was standard on Platinum, $1200 option all other trims.

So basically Ken Garff Ford of Cheyenne, sold me low in model lightning at a premium price. I can't even add this option afterwards.

You're not the first. Never trust a salesman and always look at sticker.

Does this also mean that the house backup feature with the Ford Pro charger will not work on my truck? The features in the console say that I have Pro power on board, and it warned me once that it shut it off because the battery was too low.

Most of the Flash models I looked at didnโ€™t have the Pro Power 9.6 or Max Tow (Packaged together). We all make mistakes on truck orders. I forgot to specify a bedliner or the all season tires over the AT, my bad but it doesnโ€™t mean the truck is a low model.

Not sure on this one. I do know the Flash didnโ€™t get the 80 amp charge capability to fully use the 80 amps of the Ford charger.

You may have the Pro Power Onboard 2.4 kW. Here is what I found doing a search:

2.4 kW: Ideal for medium-duty appliances and worksite tools.

7.2 kW: The ultimate power solution, capable of handling heavy-duty equipment or serving as a backup power source for your home.

Pro Power onboard 9.6 kW has a 2.4kW inverter for the Frunk/Cabin, and a 7.2 kW inverter for the rear supplying a total of 9.6 kW.

You can also tell by looking in your console screen:

2.4 kW:

9.6 kW:

I should have added in my first reply that Ford offers two version of ProPower for the Lightning. So your dealer was correct if they said it had ProPower.
2.4kW Pro Power Onboard โ€“ 120V outlets: two in the cab, two in the bed and four in the frunk, Standard on all trims but Platinum for 2024.
9.6kW Pro Power Onboard โ€“ 120V outlets: two in the cab, four in the bed and four in the front trunk, plus a 240V 30A outlet in the bed. Standard on Platinum, optional on all other trims for 2024.

I'm pretty sure you can install the Home Integration System. It does not use the ProPower but interfaces directly with the HVB. It's expensive though. Need more that just the Charge Station Pro. Lots of threads on here if you search it. Here's one:https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...on-system-battery-installation-project.21020/

Note most folks use the 240-volt 30 amp outlet to power their panel through various connection means. Max load is 7200 Watts. The HIS system can go up to 9600 Watts.

He didnโ€™t state if his truck was SR or ER. I seem to recall that SRs require some special software update ($$) in order to interface to the HIS.

Not an update, just a $500 payment.

He said that he has a Flash. so it's an ER battery.

Home Backup Power works with all F-150 Lightnings, but requires the Ford Charge Station Pro home charger and the Home Integration System available through Sunrun. When those are installed together in your home, any F-150 Lightning can provide your home backup.

I have a Flash and my #1 requirement was the 9.6 pro power and #2 was Max tow. I also have the bed liner, floor mats and all terrain tires. If i'm correct, the msrp with shipping and opstions should have put you around 73K.

Not sure what you have and what you were sold, but the house backup feature requires another "kit" (Home Integration System) in addition to just the truck and the Pro charger.

This kit used to be in the almost $10K range if I remember correctly, which is why many opted for a traditional generator instead as it's just as expensive but at least you can go get groceries without the house being without power.
