12 Volt Plug

Blac Trac · 01-06-2008, 03:22 PM

Recently purchased a used '05 XLT Prem. Just looked at the 12 volt plug in the bed. It has a round recpticle. Is this correct? Is there a conversion to 2 prong?

all 12 volt plugs are round like a cigarette lighter-if it is a regular 120 volt plug only then would it be two pronged

Thanks, the issue becomes readily clear now. The Ads I read before buying the truck made it sound like you could run the Space Shuttle from back there.

well, you can get a power inverter...the sell em at any hardware store...just be sure to check the wattage before buying...make sure that it has enough power to run what ever it is you wanna sun..I have a little one about 300 watts can run a tv or a sterio or what ever, but if you wanted to run a mini fridge or something, you minght wat a bigger one...Note: the bigger ones need to be hard wired to the batterie, and sould only really be used with the engine running...
