    If I'm reading this right Toyota is saying the 400W bed outlet is a standard feature on the TRDs (non-hybrid). Videos of trucks so far that don't have upgrade packages seem to indicate otherwise. Can anyone that has looked at a poverty spec TRD confirm if there is an inverter switch in the cab and bed outlet?

    I just picked up my '24 TRD at a 50K sticker, pretty standard package and it does not have the AC outlet. I will definitely miss that.

    Thanks and congrats on your new truck!

    I was curious about the discrepancy and it would have been nice to have but no big deal. A $50 inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter or attached directly to the battery isn't as convenient but will work just as well. Toyota needs to work on their website though.

    400 watts (3 amps)...can't imagine what I would use that for.

    I actually used the hell out of mine on camping trips and fishing outages. It also served me well the three or 4 times I lost power over the years. I could run a box fan and quite a few LED lights off it with no issues. My wife would always throw a box fan in the bed when we went shore fishing. It kept the bugs and the heat at bay.
