Even at 5600 lbs, a F150 needs less than 30 hp to cruise at 65 mph. You might like to have 135 hp available for quick accelerations. But even steep grades, say Grapevine Grade, only needs about 60 hp more. In order to cruise and recharge something like a 45 hp generator would be sufficient. 90 hp if there is a long pass in the daily drive.
