Which air compressor should I get?

Thanks for letting me know it’ll fit under the seat. From what I’ve seen, it seems like it wouldn’t. Do you mind snapping a pic of it in place for me so I can see how you’ve got it arranged?
If I do go this route, I wonder if it can be wired to a Bargeman to run off the 7-pin? That would make it easier to reach the fiver’s wheels if need be vs having to drop the trailer, unhook, and turn around just to use the battery.
If I go that route I’d go with this one from Dewalt, to keep compatibility with the rest of the tools;

But if I’m willing to drop that kind of cash, I might as well drop it on something backed up with reviews. I’d hate to sink coin into it to just find out it doesn’t cut it in real use.
i put a viair system in my truck... spent a lot of time and money doing it. I also got the dewalt inflator- it basically makes the viair system obsolete. Dewalt works great for mattresses, rafts, etc along with automatic shutoff on vehicle tires. The only thing my viair system has on the dewalt is the stored air tank which runs train horns and can blow off tools, knives, etc with compressed air... dewalt can’t do that

I have an ARB twin compressor mounted under the hood on my 4Runner for off-roading purposes, and it works extremely well. Just ordered my F250 over the weekend so don’t have it yet, but was considering doing their single compressor under the hood on this. Anyone know if there’s room under the hood for projects like this, or have already done something similar?

my gasser has room
doubt diesel does. Kleinn air horns has a kit now for the 2017+ super duties that comes with everything

I’m installing a viair system now, 485compressor, w 2.5 gal tank, all stuffed up above spare tire, will have on-board air as well as train horn, if air bags are needed in future, will take care of that, I like the idea of on -board air to pull up to something needing air and go...this compressor is 100% duty cycle and will air up the larger tires,

If you're just inflating pool toys and sports *****, then the one in the OP is fine. If you're going to put air into a tire, don't get a compressor that fits into a 12 VDC cigarette lighter socket. Get one that connects directly to the battery. Beyond that, get one with features that meet your needs -- speed of inflation, duty cycle, size, accessories, etc.
Good luck.
Good luck.
