Oh. I found making mockups very useful. These devices are pretty big. Get a big box and cut it up to the LxWxH and just look at it in the truck. Of course you already have a cooler so you can eyeball on that too.

No, was driving to work and the compressor seized. Made it to work (about 4 blocks) but had to cut the belt as I couldn't even restart the car.

Car is getting alignment so I used old photo for comparison. Assuming I have the right cooler, It is 17.5L by 17W by 21H. Cooler is about 1.5 inches higher than bed currently, and about .5 inches too wide. Length does matter as much.

Gotcha, good to know. If my compressor seizes now I at least know the likely culprit. Fingers crossed!
Check out Costco as well. Very good return policy.
Massimo CX50 I believe it is an Alpicool rebrand.

Dimensions wise, this one is a better fit. Perfect width of 17.5 and half an inch shorter than the cooler. So it is slightly higher than bed but not as high as cooler, and I plan on raising the bed anyways when it’s time for drawers (2nd row sits slightly higher than third when folded).
excellent! look for items 19.5 tall or so and 16.5 wide.Car is getting alignment so I used old photo for comparison. Assuming I have the right cooler, It is 17.5L by 17W by 21H. Cooler is about 1.5 inches higher than bed currently, and about .5 inches too wide. Length does matter as much.

I did look at that one actually, but wanted to go for a freezer fridge and not just cooler. If Costco had a rebrand or something comparable I’d definitely be interested in having a look. Thank you for sharing!
yeah, i wish that one fit behind my seat too, but I only had 12.9 depth.
watch out though - not dual zone.

lmao I was about to come back and tell you that the T50 fits with a little room to spare, which I can use to route cables!
Going to give the metal one a little more thought and likely will be ready to decide by tomorrow morning!

yeah see this is why you’re here, I’ve missed the dual zone two times now! T50 looking strong at the moment.
THere is a plastic 50 Qt dual I saw somewhere. I didn't pay too much attention as I knew it was the wrong shape for my space
Found a T-50 on amazon with prime. Nightcore Cooler and Warmer, 53 Quart Portable Electric Car Refrigerator Freezer with Wheels, Dual 100-240V AC Adapter and 12-24V DC Plugs for Vehicle, Travel, Outdoor and Home Use

I would be leery of a cheap fridge. If you go that route, the most important factor is the compressor. Do some research. I think ExPo had a good article on fridges last year. Most of the major vendors use exactly the same compressor, and the most significant factor in reliability is the ability of the compressor to withstand excessive vibration. There is probably a reason the major vendors use the same compressor.
That’s not to say a cheap fridge won’t last 20 years. It’s just that they have a different business model based on volume, not reliability.
Having said all that, a more practical consideration is whether it opens from the side or from the ends. That is one of those things that can affect placement and usability.

I did a little digging, and the compressor you are referring to is the Secop Compressor, previously known as Danfoss.
I have began looking for every fridge that uses that compressor. Cheapest one I found so far is the IceCo JP50 for 480 at Walmart. It is 530 on amazon after coupon.
Ironman version (Ice Cube) is 650.

IceCo is offering 10% off via coupon code “stayhome” so I’m going to give their lineup some thought today, namely the ones with the bigger Secop compressors (5 year warranty).
For the JP50 it is still cheaper at Walmart than Iceco’s website, even with the 10% discount. 480 total including the insulated bag and shipping.
I’m going to try and contact them and inquire about other discounts and sales.

OK, this might be it but I will wait for a response from IceCo regarding group discounts before I move forward (might organize a group buy if price is right). They are closed for the weekend.
To get this price you sign up with an email at stack social.com, then they email you a coupon for 10% off first order. 420 total!
they also have a referral program that I might take advantage of if the bulk discount isn’t worth it. If you sign up through here I get 10 bucks if you make a purchase, and you get 10 as well!
