Other option is find a SUV that can replace my wife's XT5 and be towable as 4 wheel down, and then I could by a New Navigator or Aviator

The Ford ProPower Onboard inverter system requires vehicle to be a hybrid or all electric. Initially offered on F-150 hybrid, it is now advertised for electric F-150 pickups and Transit vans. The inverter system initially seemed marketed to commercial buyers to power tools at job sites (and also recreational uses to a lesser degree) but for now it is limited to pickups and vans often used commercially.

Since system costs are relatively low, and much of R&D has been done already, I would not be surprised if ProPower Onboard was offered on larger hybrid and electric SUVs capable of towing camping trailers; particularly on hybrids. Electric pickups and vans limit system capacity to prevent using up battery range too quickly.
