Do any of the USB ports on the truck provide fast charging?

I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but this is all that it lists in regards to USB ports in the owner’a manual.

I’d say with as advanced as USB and USB-C ports are getting, they will probably charge as fast as the respective device allows.

Yea, from the truck’s I’ve seen there will be at least two USC-C ports on upper model SuperCrews.

One here in the media bin:

And I’m pretty sure there is another full USB and one USB-C port on the back of the center console for the second row just behind the battery logo door:

Also wanting the wattage for the -C ports. Laptops are using the same port, so getting 100w charging direct from the truck would be awesome.

The front should have a USB-C port.

Don’t forget, you also have a 120v outlet.

THIS is what really makes the truck future proof IMO. Can always plug in whatever will be current tech 10 years from now. Nice.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for USB-C with PD (power delivery) or anything over 10W. They know their audience and in most cases people only know that it’s either the “big” one (usb A) or the “little one” (usb-c). Luckily you can get something much more advanced via the lighter plug like combo USB-C with PD (up to 65w or even more these days) and a QC3 USB-A or USB-C dual port combo. I use one similar to the one below in my current car and it’s perfect to supply fast charge to Apple’s latest wireless charging speed and power my MacBook Pro.

Here’s one example: 83W USB C Car Charger, WOTOBEUS Dual USB Type C Fast Car Phone Laptop Charger Adapter 65W PPS PD 18W QC3.0 Quick Charge for iPhone 12 SE 11/iPad/MacBook/ThinkPad/HP/Pixel/S8/S9/S10/S20/Note10Plus/9 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089SJFN5Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_xQk8FbXA9EH9S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Wait, I have not been paying close attention to the plugs, what 12V DC plugs are still available?

at least 2, one in the middle storage compartment console, one behind it... wonder if there is one on the dash, passenger side in the new glove box

For the usb ports, there is 3 fuses that are associated with "USB Smart Charger" in the user manual... hope it's smart enough to charge decently, i always use a 12v to usb charger because the one in the truck is so slow

There’s also one on the dash close to the button to open the secondary glove box (see pic). Bottom line, no shortage of 12v (although that may be an old way of referring to it as most vehicles have gone to 24v or even 48v for entire vehicle electric subsystems)

Oh good! Was worried if the usb ports (and wireless) don't support fast charge, that I can still plug in my dual Qi chargers. My preferred method is to use the 12v inside the center console, and pull the 2 cords out the lid notches for driver and passenger. I don't like cords dangling from the dash.

I wonder if every version has the same outputs, yours seem a production unit but look at this pic, it's different
