I was just having the discussion with my wife yesterday about USB ports. Being a Job #2 truck, mine will have 4. There are 5 of us. I will likely have my phone plugged into one for Car Play, and that leaves 3 for the other 4. She was worried about that not being enough, but surely they can swap off and keep their devices charged. Worst case, I've got an adapter that plugs into 12V and gives you 2 USB ports from my old truck that we can use, and that should get us more than we need.

Seriously, if having too few USB ports is one of your biggest complaints, then that's a damn fine truck!

 

This sounds like when a few years ago car reviews used to include the number of cupholders.

 

You've never been on a road trip with my family

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but here we go:
1. Waze kills my iphone battery, so it's plugged in to USB to keep from dying, even if it was fully charged at the start of the trip.
2. My wife plays on her phone and iPad to pass time on trips..another port.
3. Both kids need plugging in depending on how long the trip is and they both have iPads to keep them entertained.

That is 4 ports. I prefer the USB ports because that allows us to just use the cords, but I do keep a couple of 12v cigarette style charge cords on hand.

Right now, for trips, I toss a short 120v houshold extension cord w/multiple outlets in the back so the kids can use their home chargers to keep things working. They have iPad 2's...I suppose I could buy both of them new iPads and they would do the whole trip on a single charge...but I don't want to do that.

While we could rotate the charging around, it is convenient to have enough ports for everyone to handle their needs independently. No matter the situation, I'll always make it work.

 

Have you used one of these before? Quick way to get multiple charge ports.

 

No, but thanks for posting it. That looks like a simple solution.

 

And if that isn't enough, maybe look into one of these. LOL! Jk.....

 

I was certain that usb port device was a photoshop or part of an internet meme until I googled it...

 

This is truly a first world problem. I remember going on road trips as a kid, there was never a coloring book charger in the back seat. For the record this is sarcasm, I have a 7 year old and a baby on the way. I totally understand where you're coming from.

 

That guy sounds like a typical lifetime car owner who is trying to review a truck....

 

I compare these to the following:

-truck too tall = my super model girlfriend has ***** that are just too darn big.

-DEF = I'm tired of seeing my super model girlfriend's panties laying on the floor of my bedroom.

-Not enough USB ports = My Super model girlfriend has a toe that is a 1/2" longer than the other 4 toes on her right foot.

​​​​​​​yeah, those complaints were THAT stupid.

 

He's a sales representative, wonder what his boss thinks of his strange negative videos?

 

You ALWAYS fill the filter, everyone knows that, yes I know the filter goes in upside down but fill it anyhow.

DEF is 32.5% Urea and the remainder is DeIonized water. Now I only buy that top grade of DEF, which I have to order on line. The top grade is made from Urea that actually comes from Virgins and its primo stuff. How good you say, well I am getting 20 extra lbs of torque at each wheel as a result!

So specify when you go to get it that you want only: Unrefined, cold-squatted-Extra Virgin Urea. The brand I have been using is Golden Showers Plus. Makes that 6.7 run like a teenage boy on a date with Suzy Spreadez.

 

Forget that high-end DEF.

I'm installing an adjustable powerband, so I'll ace the Ike! Get it here: Adjustable Powerband - $95.99 : KaleCoAuto.com, Your home for the rare, unusual, and hard to find auto parts.

I'll be styling!

 

How dare you bring common sense into this discussion!

 

No kidding. I can't comprehend that folks complain about USB ports when all they need is a plug in for the 12v with 2-4 USB ports on it. Or is that not cool enough or doesn't give the truck bragging rights to have only 2 USB ports


With a 110 front and rear as well how many power supplies do you really need.
