So since everything is charged with a usb cable now and there weren't any ports in the back seat, I added this.

I just mounted a little distribution block and used the power from the existing jack. I also had the jack in the center console that needed to be rewired. Also going to the block are wires for a CB and ham radio but aren't in any of the pictures.

I know I could walk outside and find out for myself but it's cold outside; are these always powered or do they have to have the key on?

They have to have the key on. I thought about having them always on but sometimes the truck sits for a while and I don't want to kill the battery.

Can anyone advise where to tap power in the rear of the cabin for Crew cab 40-20-40 Laramies?

You'll have to run a line from the power port up front in the dash.

I was hoping there was power under one of the seats. It would make more sense to splice the power in the center arm rest than run it from under the dash. Unless I'm missing something and there is a dedicated accessory power circuit under the dash?
