    I have read a lot of the threads but i cant seem to find if anyone else is having the same problem I am. I would like to use my a/c plug in the back of the truck when I am driving. But as soon as I put the truck into drive it powers off. Is this normal? I cant find where it says this is supposed to happen in the manual. I would like to be able to charge things while I am driving or maybe keep an electric cooler running on the way to the football game.

    I just read the owners manual again and it says that it should still power the plug at 100w while driving. I cant turn it on at all while its in drive. I guess iam calling the dealer tomorrow.

    Thanks guys
