I thought about doing this myself. I know the Explorer Sport Trac comes with one from the factory, if you can find one at the bone yard. Another option may be to put in an auxillary one. I bought two different kinds from Vato-zone when I put one in my boat. They've got one that's a stand alone unit with an integrated braket that you screw/bolt down, and one that you drill an approximately 1 inch hole in a panel, and it attaches to the panel, so that only about 1/2" sticks out from it. I used the second option, as I had a spare panel on the dash of my boat. Both options are sealed to the weather, so they'd probably work well in your bed.

Oh, and I think I paid less than $20 for both of them.

 

Here's mine. I put in an outlet and a switch for the light under my tonneau cover. It's hard to see in the picture, but the outlet is on the right (it has a cover over it) and the light switch is on the left. You can also see the pin switch for my alarm near the top of the pic.

 

ok thaks

were did you wire it and were did you get it ?

I second the question Rob. What circuit did you tie it to so that the plug is 'hot' at all times? That really seems like a functional mod.

If you want it Hot at all times, you are looking at having to run a fused circuit from the battery.

If you want it hot in run position, and have the factory HD trailer plug, pin 5 ( orange with a green stripe ) is hot in run position for the battery for the trailer.
That is about all I can find that would be something you could tap for additional usage.

good luck

 

Looks like the same one I put in the boat, you can get them at Auto Zone, Walmart, etc.

 

thanks looks good

PEP BOYS has a nice one
