1. A bidirectional energy transfer system, comprising:
an electrified vehicle;
a charging trailer operably coupled to the electrified vehicle; and
a control module programmed to execute an energy transfer prioritization control strategy for controlling a transfer of energy between the electrified vehicle and the charging trailer during an energy transfer event,
wherein the energy transfer prioritization control strategy is derived based on a charge priority selection that is manually input by a user of the system.
