There's also the whole ... Max output from a Ford F-150 Lightning is 9.6 kilowatts vs 2.4 kilowatts from the Ford F150 ProPower's inverter (which might come in handy if there's a large spike in the power draw).
The inverter per your source ... and my understanding of it ... gets you 85 hours at 2.4k, the EV gets you 41 (based on a continuous draw of 2.4k).
The other thing worth noting though is the inverter provides outlets. An EV system can be basically directly wired into a home electrical system powering the whole home and there's no concern about a truck running in the garage pumping out carbon monoxide. In theory it could even be automatic but I'm not sure we're there yet.
