Default Power outlets in Lariat
So we are about to get bulldozed with 30 inches of snow. Worst case scenario, what common items can the outlets in our trucks be used to power?

Dumb question I know but don't have a lot of time to research

nothing big. laptops, cell phones, that kind of stuff, maybe a RV-type fridge at best. hair dryer won't work for example.

aren't they rated for 400W max?

You can plug in anything that doesn't exceed the wattage rating of the outlets. Items that use restive heating will tax it but I know that a small coffee maker will work.

Phone charger, small electric heater, blender for drinks while you wait to get rescued?

I might be missing the point of this question.

Funny thing is most people in our area don't have snow blowers, if we get 6" it's a major event lol.
