(Beer) Cooler for truck bed

The secret to keeping Ice longer is ...Block Ice

You can spend hundreds on some roto molded plastic job. Sure ya can!

 

Now that cooler just screams Alcoholic owner!



If I was a cop, oh I sure will breathalyzer you on the spot because of that cooler. LMAO

 

I can do a can of Tecate warm. That's about the only one.

And Germans don't drink warm beer. They like to serve it at about 40f

 

I guess I better get a tonneau

 

One thing they didn't tell me about rotomolds: the weight. Mine is a pig with an empty weight of 40 pounds. Add ice, beer, and groceries and it tips the scales at anywhere between 70 and 90 pounds.

With the camper on the hitch and the cooler in the bed, I have to make a hard choice between generator, firewood, kayak, or luggage. Otherwise the truck is over weight.





Still, worth it for the cool points. My cooler has all-terrain tires. Beat that, Coleman.

 

Coleman Xtreme-6 Pro Series Marines get my vote. They hold ice extremely well, are cheap, and are significantly lighter in weight than roto molded. In particular the Marine Extreme-6 Pro Series with the built in wheels are the ones to get. You can still find the Coleman optional pads for the top of them that make for comfy seats too.

Unfortunately it looks like Coleman has sunset the Marine Xtreme-6 Pro Series coolers...very unfortunate. They still make a 5-day version though

 

For beer any cooler will do fine. Just make sure you get one that is comfortable to sit on and the fancy ones have cupholders for this! As even the cheapest coleman and igloos hold ice for several days, and those numbers become less and less relevant every time you open up the cooler, which I hope you do a lot if you got some cold beers in there!
