All comments with real good advice. Thank you all. I'm looking hard at Engel, but they are indeed spendy. At least on the internet, the Whynter looks real good because of the low amp/low watt specs. I'll do a bit more sleuthing. For me, it's 150 miles to the nearest town that might sell such an appliance (either Missoula or Idaho Falls, I'm midway between the two). Also, after the valuable input received herein, I'm probably looking for something with a higher capacity than 1.1 cubic foot. It's probably akin to building a shop or a skinning shed; bigger is always better.

Did the Tacoma come with the 110 outlets? I can't recall ever seeing a truck with 110 outlets. My 07 tundra doesn't have outlets. My sons new Silverado has them.

You called it white17. I've already put together dissipation tables with three scenarios; without a dog in the back, with one dog, and with two. Their addition of breaths per minute and the accompanying heat and increased humidity as a function of air circulation from the two side windows, compounded, of course, by the effects of the Coriolis input times the ambient temperature. Avagadro's number has to be factored in there somewhere, but may be offset by Mahalanobi's D-square. This calculation will vary when confounded by the metric tonnage of catfish filets, obviously their introduction temperature after thermal mass has been calculated. I figure at least 147 variables, so for analysis, I've got to haul my trailer with the Cray computer, and I've got to bring Seymour Cray along to run the thing. At this point, how much will it affect my 20.87954921 mpg? One important feature is that you need a MASD permit....and that little triangle patch with a explosive bottle on it.

I wouldn't be running too big a freezer off your truck. You will kill your battery. Takes more energy to keep freezing new stuff than to keep old stuff frozen. Inverters have a surge rating and a continuous rating. The standard used to be 3 times the rated amps of the freezer for it's start up surge. They don't always use this much. Inverters are far better at picking up surge loads (like compressor motor start ups) than generators.
Good luck!

We use to deliver groceries to man camp. We had 3 mounted in a cargo trailer. The worst thing was the vibration on them. Most lasted about a year with frequent use. So put a rubber mat under it and tie it down and you should be good to go. Vibration in your truck bed will be nothing compared to a cargo trailer on dirt roads.
