I have a 2018 Raptor and sometimes use an ARB fridge in the back seat. I plan to buy a new bronco also.
1) There is no power port that stays on to keep the fridge running overnight in the Raptor despite adequate battery capacity to do so.
So I ran a wire direct to the battery to power an added power port, grounding to chassis. This allows fridge to run overnight.
> Will the new Bronco have an always on 12v port for the Fridge? Or do they expect it to just get warm or leave your engine running while camping?
2) When we go to the store for example, we want to lock the truck so our stuff does not disappear. But with the ARB running, the alarms goes off periodically. I think it goes off when the fridge cycles on and off as they do. I have not tried the perimeter only alarm mode. But it also seems there is no way to lock the truck without the alarm being set. Very annoying because if I'm in a campground with lots of strangers about, I either must leave Raptor unlocked all night or unplug the fridge.
> Will the new bronco address this issue since they are offering it with an optional fridge?
BTW, my 2013 Raptor did not have these issues. Wondering how the 2022 Raptor and Bronco will deal with this?
