So for the 120 Volt AC outlets in these trucks, the rear outlet is somewhat recessed/ shrouded and you cannot plug anysort of "Wall Wart" into this outlet. I had a situation where I needed to plug in a cordless tool battery charger that has a "Wall Wart" instead of a standard power cord. I did not bother to check the rear console outlet, I may have been able to use this one as the outlet is less recessed/shrouded.

But a short power corder jumper such as this might be useful to keep in the truck to avoid problems with plugging something with a "Wall Wart" into these outlets. Easy to store under the rear cargo area. I beleive these outlets are only rated at 400 Watts, might be combined, haven't fully checked, but I assume there is only a single inverter for these outlets, so be careful what you plan on plugging into these outlets as well.

I thought of something like this, but figured a pigtail might be better to keep the weight off the outlet.
