Our 12th Gen cigarette lighter sockets are only 1 1/4" deep. This makes a lot of accessories stick out way too far from the dash. Has anyone found a deeper power socket for our trucks?

Reason: Clarification of the "power sockets"
I can't help but wonder what you are plugging in? Is this just a pet-peeve, or is it causing interference with other items in the truck? In 14 years of 12th gen ownership, I have never said "this accessory plug sticks out to far" and to add to that I feel like the cig lighters and power points are generally a standardized length because if they were deeper many standard accessory plugs won't reach the bottom. I think a better option is a remotely located power point. I have a 3-plug block in my beater car that has a low profile plug for the existing cig lighter plug.
They area standard length.. If they are troubling you look for a hub with a angled plug and then you can move it out of the way/sight and it should have less at the plug end
