12volt constant install?
I just got rid of my 2013. Love the fact that it had a 12 volt under the back passenger seat. I would let thing's charge or power my led light bar.
So can anyone tell me or let know if they've out in they're own 12 v power plugs with constant power.

I was thinking of running a whole new power distribution panel from the battery to inside the cab with separate fuses for each. Just so I can power up anything I want without needed the truck on. All low draw items.

Does the truck need to be on or is that constant?

I don't currently but when I get back home to the truck, I'll see if I can snap some.

My last truck I ran a 10 gauge wire to the under back seat that was constant hot for running the headrest DVD. In this truck, eventually I will do the same under the back seat, dual plug, can plug in the DVD and run while driving or watch DVDs in the truck without the ACC on to keep input running. Just have to be careful type you leave enough battery for starting.

I can't get a clear picture but On the inverter, the plug near the center, the largest wires looks to be 10awg. It's the red one and black w/yellow stripe. All the other wires are noticably smaller.
