Why put 110 Volts in a truck?

I second this motion! I didnt get the outlet either but I always wanted one. Where is the inverter mounted and anyone know the part # / cost to replace the bed cubby?

Thanks,

that would be nice then my shop vac would run off it when I was vacuuming my rig out instead of having to find an outlet.

Looks like the outlet will run you $163, according to the Conicelli parts center. Then add in the wire. The OEM inverter is mounted under the center console, towards the rear.

Could that be replaced with a 800-1000W model? Or are there control signals running into it / out of it that would not be available in an aftermarket inverter?

I believe this info can be found by doing a search as someone had already posted pics, but since I'm a sharing pack rat...

Its definitely a Toyota made connector. You could probably modify it, but Id imagine it is regulated by something in the dash. I'll have to check the wiring schematic to be sure.
