Default Can my 2021 F150 Hybrid ProPower Onboard power part of my home

Ford released information concerning their all electric F150 coming out next year with a 9.6 KW ProPower Onboard. They state that with an installed Transfer Switch (On the house), the truck can provide emergency power to a home for three days. My question is why can't I do something smaller, but similar with my F150 PowerBoost that has a 7.2 KW ProPower Onboard. Can I have an electrician install a transfer switch on my house that provides power to two rooms. Basically two 20 amp breakers from main panel box. I want my freaking refrigerator to have power, microwave/coffee pot (not at same time), router, lights (all LED), ceiling fan and tv to work using my truck as a power source. I have no interest in driving my truck out in the woods and building a log cabin. But I would however like to use one cord to run from my truck to my house for emergency power. How does this void a warranty? Does it void a warranty?

You should be able to do it,,,,,,,but,,,, you need to know the total power requirement of the items you want to function and LEDs and small lighting should not be a problem.
You might consult with an electrician and have the transfer panel installed. The biggest drain is motors like fans and refrigerators when the fridge first turns on.
Not sure if your present F150 is meant to provide continuous power, good idea to verify.
