Does SR5 have power inverter from the factory?

    I am trying to install a normal household outlet or extension cord into the interior of my Tacoma for powering small electronics. I’ve seen videos and threads about people doing the “anytime 400watt inverter mod” and some even installing outlets or extensions cords into the rear of the center console. I have 2 USB ports back there but the threads all seem to be for people with bed outlets which I do not have.
    Does the SR5 have this same inverter in the center console to splice into?
    Or am I SOL and just need to hardwire in an aftermarket inverter under the seat?

    I have an SR5 and I'm not aware of an inverter or outlets.

    If you have a outlet in the bed, then you have a inverter in the console.
    If you dont have a outlet in the bed, then you have no inverter in the console.

    I have a 17 sr5 and there is no inverter. I purchased a 400 watt inverter that plugs into the cigarette lighter port or hooks directly to the battery via clamps. I hook the inverter up to the port in the dash and my refrigerator/freezer into the port in the center console.
