Anyone know the amperage on the factory alternator? I can’t remember if they had a standard and a high output option…mine would be the standard. 2017.
I am looking into getting a more powerful one for some added accessories I may be installing.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Standard alternator is probably in the 160-180 amp range. Adding a second battery is usually more beneficial than a higher current alternator when it comes to adding power hungry accessories.
