Just a thought....installing a jump port is an option but all that is really needed is enough power to operate the door locks. This can be done with a much lighter gage wire (12 or 14). Once in the truck the hood can be released and the jumper cables connected directly to the battery. The advantage is that any extension used to interface with jumpers cables will be much smaller and more easily squirreled away somewhere that is accessible from the outside.
I actually do something similar on my boat. The engine is under a massive hatch that only operates with electricity so when the battery is dead you can't get to the batteries for a jump. You can however use a jump pack through the 12 volt ports and it gives you enough power to raise the hatch giving you access to the batteries. This has only happened once in 10 years.
