The one in the cab is too small for most anything except phone chargers so I'd suggest wiring in a bigger one under the hood and running the wires along the frame to the back and install a plug similar to this.85510520.jpg

I have used mine to inflate an air mattress when camping but yes, it's only good for a little over 1 amp.

Ya, its too bad RAM doesnt have something in the bed. Other manufacturers do - would be nice if RAM could.

Where did you find this outlet? Is it constructed to hold up to the outdoor elements?
