@@upsman105 My apologies. It seems there are several 3rd party sellers offering the same cable and unfortunately they are not all up to the same specs/quality. I have not been able to find a good replacement vendor in the meantime. Some have reported success re-ordering, but others not.

[@charlesb4267]

Earlier this year a friend had bought an old stock 2023 1500 high country and I asked him to see if he could find the 12 volt socket so he looked all over in the cab and was totally stumped ... then read up on it and realized wtf, there is none !. He stated as well that he has a GPS and this or that other device that was geared to plug into the 12v socket. Its not like its an obsolete socket to plug into, there are still items made to this day that are designed around plugging into 12 volts and happens to be that socket system. Without a doubt GM should be bringing that back and also creating a install kit with instructions on how and where to hook up electrically for anyone wanting to install one or more 12 volt "traditional" power sockets into a vehicle that was made without one.

[@AdventureRocks]

Great point

[@georgeharby6818]

I really got zonked. My 2021 had a plug in the bed that you could plug in a extension cord into for electric tools or radio. 10K more for a pickup and no electric outlet😢

@@georgeharby6818 What year and trim level is the truck you currently have that is missing the 400 watt 120 volt plug in the bed ?, or I assume that is what you were referring to. I wish it was a higher output plug that GM provides like one can get in the Ford ( of course at a fair expense in the case of the Ford option )

[@receded]

I just installed my own in my '23 Sierra and put it in this cupholder thing from autozone. There is terminals(four or five) that give power and I connected to there and havent had any issue for about a year.

[@lishster]

Thanks for the info! I have the AT4 pkg and love it! This is a great workaround, but still wished i had the DC outlet. I also got the second alternator option on mine so that i could charge my trailer batteries at a higher voltage while towing. Now i just have to figure out what's the best device to do this with and get it installed properly.

[@tymeador]

Same situation, but I ran a wire from a 12v in the fuse box by the glove box. The cord stores neatly in the glove box as well. It seems to work well and leaves a clean look.

[@GMCB-pu8pk]

I have this exact trim level. I thought if you hooked up to the trailer, it worked with the truck screen? Is it from different options? I had the sle built with all the extra tech packages I could, 360° camera views, heated seating, and steering wheel everything i could. I love the truck Thx for sharing, and I'll go watch more of what you do to her. She is beautiful 😍

Now we just need a 12V outlet that is hot ALL the time. The 2018 Silverado 1500 I owned had a 12V outlet that was hot all the time. I never had an issue with draining the battery as the only thing I ever plugged into it was a cell phone charger adapter. And if no phone was plugged in, there was no juice going out. I looked at a used 2024 Sierra 1500 today and thought the SLE trim was why there was no 12V outlet. Now I know otherwise! And thank you for the information.

Ran into this problem with my 2024 Chevrolet 2500hd, no 12 volt outlet! Plunged my Garmin Trend off road GPS into trucks USB C port, message said if you want full screen brightness, use Gamin 12 volt adapter. I plunged a 120 Volt AC power strip into Chevrolet outlet behind the rear seat, ran in under drivers seat to center of front floor. Bought 120 Volt to 12 Volt dc adapter to plug Garmin Trend in to. The power strip also has 3 USB ports and is powered on when the truck is running, very convenient to have extra outlets on power strip. Very happy that everything is plug and play, as I did not want to mess with the truck wiring and upset its computer.

[@harryniedecken5321]

Order the high amp alternator, ideally dual alternator. Use a dc - dc charger to charge up a 24 volt aux battery pack for accessories. The power from a 12 volt port doesn't have enough power to do much.

I was robbed of a 12V port anywhere on my 2025 Chevrolet Equinox AWD ACTIV. I tested the USB-C in the front part of the cabin, drat only 40W, but my hopes were up thinking, ah but those care carrying data, the ones in the back of the centre console for the rear passenger. I was foiled again, 24W each. Now I'm going to have to punch a hole through my firewall to get the 100W+ I need for my equipment to run and charge at the same time. That sound like a lot, nope. A lot of the 12V systems are 10A and easily deliver that power even with inverter inefficiencies. GM I hope you're listening.

[@kevincameron8437]

Good info for us. I also bet it won't be long till the accessories stop coming with the 12V plug and convert over to the USB-C plug.

[@robertboyer5498]

That AC adapter is what I went with. Works great.

The good thing about the AC is that it only turns on when the engine is running. You will not risk draining the battery when leaving some device plugged in when parked.

[@MastersLightHouseProductions]

Absolutely you pay enough for these new trucks they should have everything you want and need in them!!! Bring back the 12v plugs. No one said it was okay to get rid of them lol.

[@arlenewolf5260]

FYI, we are near Knoxville. I know all the technology will eventually give us trouble. We bought GM's platinum extended warranty. I wish I could find another 2003 Sierra, like I used to have that is like new with almost zero miles on it. I have a 1970 Impala (31K actual non rolled over miles on it, original shiny paint) on the lift in my garage, I told my wife I am almost ready to make it my daily driver. instead of a car for cruise nights and car shows.

[@codered9576]

Yes not having that 12 volt is a pain in the butt. I have all these things that need a 12v plug and what am I supposed to do. The best solution I found is getting a converter that goes from the AC plug to 12 volt plug-in. Can get it around $20 on amazon.

[@AdventureRocks]

Thank you for the tip!

[@CodyLeon]

Thanks for the video this is information I have been hunting for! I was worried they’d cheap out and make it a 5v C and make it basically useless. Would you mind checking the USB C in the back seat when you have a chance to see if that one is also PD

[@AdventureRocks]

@@CodyLeon Thanks for the comment. I got slightly less on rear port...I believe 30 or 35W if I recall.

[@RoadieWingZZ]

Wattage isn’t the issue as it’s a calculated number as the product of voltage and current. If the Furrion camera requires a 12volt input, anything lower than that won’t work. People throw around wattage numbers as if it’s the end all be all answer, but it’s only an indicator of the total capacity of the system/port. If the correct combination of voltage AND current isn’t present, your end device won’t work.

[@AdventureRocks]

Great question! USB with Power Delivery (USB PD) has different versions/specs, but the voltage is variable up to 20V in this case. So identifying the wattage helps determine if the port is powerful enough to supply power to an accessory. For example, the MacBook shown in the video uses an OEM charger with nominal 20V @ 1.75A = 35W. But, it'll take a higher powered charger concerning the watts/amps, as long as the voltage is in range still. And, with the Furrion it only needs a mere 12V @ 500mA = 6W, so that's how it is feasible in this setup. Basically just have to make sure voltage is between 5V and 20V and then wattage under 40W (Volts X Amps = Watts). I was surprised to learn how flexible USB PD is...it's been around for a few years, but becomming more popular to the point GM put it in the truck. And there are newer forms of USB PD that are even more powerful, but not found in the GM trucks, yet.

[@tinaann3323]

Some barrel plugs have positive on outside of barrel and negative on inside and visa versa

Great point, thank you for mentioning that.

I have been a die hard GM truck guy for over 35 years. I couldn't believe it when I couldn't find a 12 volt accessory outlet in my new 24 HD. WTH GM?

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you. Maybe they'll bring the 12V back with a refresh.

[@bcimato]

Good information... thank you... But why don't you want to use the add-on GM camera system with TPMS for your trailer?

[@tommarsh5878]

I'm puzzled. I have purchased two different cords to power my dinky little furrion monitor. One was rated to send 8 watts of power through the USB port to a 12volt socket. Nope. The second was a cable with adapter, again USB port. Neither will power the monitor for more than a few seconds, then "no signal" appears on the screen and it goes dark. I recon I should test the power coming out of the USB port. OR hardwire something under the dash. New vehicles can pose annoyances!

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you. I'm learning that there are different sellers on Amazon selling "same" product and it sounds like some are not up to spec. So a lot of folks are having to return and find another one. I'm really sorry about that. If you find one that is compatible you'll have to report back. I'm hoping to identify a more reliable source/product in the meantime.

[@chriscich]

My 2024 Chevy Silverado still has a DC Port as well as a USB-C and a AC Port.

[@cliffordmorgan4222]

Curious about the GM camera. 2024 2500 and I have the camera plugs next to the 7pin plug for the trailer.... but the guy at the parts counter couldn't guarantee that it would work.... Said there might be some extra pkg u need for it. I have the camera system on my truck... can't see why it wouldn't work

[@AdventureRocks]

I could be mistaken, but I think if you have the 2 plugs on your bumper then you're all set. You just need the camera system itself. My understanding is, if you don't have the camera provisions, you'll see a 4-pin connect instead of the 2x camera connectors. The camera system has worked flawlessly for me. I do know there is a different model for 23 and prior vs 24 and forward, although they look same.

[@Performance_Motorsports]

[@roguerebel2023]

I wonder if GM heard the complaints because my 2025 Chevy 2500 HD Custom has a 12v outlet along with the two USB ports and a 120v outlet.

[@AdventureRocks]

Thank you for the comment! On the Custom trim and Pro trim since they use the previous interior still, they do indeed get a conventiona 12V port. When GM did the interior refresh in 2024 (for SLE/LT and higher trim) oddly they left out the 12V port. So you are exactly right in that your Custom has it, but the rest of folks with SLE/LT and higher trims are missing it. Kinda odd, but hoping they'll bring it back.

[@codered9576]

Yes if you have a custom you will have the previous generation interior which is 2019 - 2022.

[@MAsWorld1]

Haha my pro, work truck trim level ( unrefreshed) 2025 has a cig lighter socket right on the dash 😊

[@AdventureRocks]

[@chammockutube]

I tried several USB-C adapters, including a fancy one that would let you output at 5 VDC, 12 VDC, 15 VDC and 20 VDC, but it was problematic. In the end, I just went with a plain cord that converted USB-C to the old female cigarette lighter outlet. My question is, do you k have any suggestion on an easy way to keep this factory USB - C port on a 2024 Sierra 2500HD truck “hot” all the time?

[@AdventureRocks]

Sorry to hear about the troubles. I haven't looked into keeping it hot all the time, yet. Sorry I can't be of greater help on that.

[@chammockutube]

@@AdventureRocks , Since the USB-C "power delivery" (USB PD) OEM outlet apparently drains power continuously (even at no load) due to the voltage conversion of 12 VDC to 5-20 VDC, I think GM always shuts it down after about 10 min of an off event to insure minimum drain of the main batteries. Accordingly, I think I'm going to just install a fused old fashion cigarette lighter outlet that will have 0 watts of parasitic power drain to run my white/yellow rooftop construction flashing light when that is occasionally needed during commercial Christmas Light work in the street when the truck is switched off. Thank you for your content!

[@clarkjenner8086]

So is the USB-C port in the rear another 40 watts?

[@AdventureRocks]

Thank you for the comment, and thanks for your patience. I was able to test the rear port out and I got 27W and 30W back to back, which is slightly less than the front port. It could be a fluke, or could be that the rear is slightly less powerful. Main thing though, is that the rear also supports USB-C PD (power delivery), so that's a plus.

[@rickbooks428]

[@kevinw1287]

I have a ‘16 Silverado that has two USB’s in the center armrest on the bench seat, one in the upper glovebox. In addition, the usual 12 volt cigarette type outlet on the dash along with the 120 volt. With more electronics these days, why are there less power ports? Also, what is the wattage on the USB and USBC in the back seat?

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you, the fewer ports seems odd. I wonder though if the USB with Power Delivery standard is what has changed things as before one could only send 5V over USB, but with Power Delivery one can do up to 48V and 240W. Granted in GM's application it appears to be the more basic spec, which I believe is up to 20V and potentially up to 40W. I haven't checked the ones on the rear yet.

[@josephdewuhan]

You never mentioned what is the voltage that comes out of that USBc.

[@AdventureRocks]

Great question! The USB-C PD spec has variable voltage, but on this specific port a max wattage of 40 in my impromptu tests. My laptop shown was pulling 15V, so about 2.3 Amps. For 12V devices, should be compatible up to about 3.3A. The challenge can be finding a compatible PD enabled cable as some cables don't deliver what they promise.

[@millerm155]

Yes, please put the 12v sockets back in the trucks.

How is your back up and front camera at night ?

[@AdventureRocks]

Pretty decent. If you're asking about the built-in surround view on truck (front/back/sides) between the reverse lights (I upgraded mine) and headlights there's plenty of light to enhance image. Otherwise, fi asking about the GM trailer camera on my RV...I haven't used it a lot at night as for me it's more for getting into my campsite or storage backing-up solo. Of course no infrared night vision like the Furrion, so gotta have some light to help but I'm happy with it.

[@AdventureRocks]

Great points. I also wonder if the GM decision makers got some bad data regarding owner surveys and how many owners actually use the 10A 12V outlet...maybe the survey data showed such a low percentage that it caused them to decide in favor of axing it. Or, it could be one of those things that some of us may seldom use, but we consider it a necessity regardless.

[@millerm155]

The USB C to 1.35mm plug does not work. The Furrion 7 inch monitor needs 12 volts and the USB C only outputs 5 volts. The USB C to 12 volt socket did work. Apparently the inline box boosts the voltage from 5 to 12 volts.

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you...I thought USB was always 5V too, but concerning USB-C with Power Delivery (PD for short) the voltage can vary based on the wattage supplied to it according to the official PD protocol. For example, in the video here it is supplying 20V to the MacBook at 2.0amps (40W). With the latest PD 3.1 it can go up to 48V and wattage of up to 240W (USB PD 3.1)...again with the proper power supply feeding it. GM seems to have a previous PD standard in use on my truck, thus the lower wattage. I think the challenge is, while PD is an official protocol, not all cables and outlets advertised as being PD compatible comply with the protocol 100% so there can be compatibility issues. Here's a link with more info: www.usb.org/usb-charger-pd

[@JCunningham21]

I have a 2024 2500HD Pro and it DOES have the 12V, so it isn't ALL of them, just the consumer trim levels.

[@AdventureRocks]

Great point...the Chevy W/T and Custom models along with GMC Pro do indeed retain the 12V outlet with older interior. Maybe they'll bring the 12V outlets back for the rest of us in a refresh soon.

[@christopherjackson210]

Great find! Now, before I go and spend even more money fixing all the deficiencies (adding 12v power outlet, buying adapter for my furion camera etc) please dream up all the other Easter eggs GM didn’t bother to tell us they fixed! And if you’ve been living under a rock so have I. Would have never guessed an in vehicle USB of any flavor would support anything over 5 volts (+/-).

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you!

[@radioactivemike1]

If they are going this direction why can’t they just put the usb ports on top of the dash where we’d be plugging in all our aftermarket devices?

[@AdventureRocks]

Great suggestion. That could be very helpful to have some more up top on dash where the accessories are typically suctioned to windshield. I remember my RAM trucks all had a 12V port on top right there and it came in handy.

[@roadking52]

Recently I was thinking that a usb port on the back of the mirror for dash cams would be a great idea.

[@AdventureRocks]

@@roadking52 Great idea. That would be useful. This one is pretty nice too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ60q2R4erGUmM0

[@Neur0bit]

Great video. However, the MacBook’s smallest charger is 65W, not 35W.

[@AdventureRocks]

Thank you! And, great question! Surprisingly on the new M2 and M3 MacBook Air, 35W is standard equipment. But, you can upgrade to a 70W if desired. I can imagine 35W sounds low, but the Apple silicone chips are very efficient, so less wattage required. I was surprised to see the truck feeding 40W to it though.

[@Neur0bit]

@@AdventureRocks ahh got it. I thought you were showing a MacBook Pro.

[@SuperEddietv]

I just ordered a 24. I have GPS, and Radios that need plugging into a 12Volt port. This is a problem for an alleged "truck" for the road. Unbelievable.

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you. I hope GM adds back in a conventional 12V port in a future model year.

[@Intwodeep902]

Off the subject, I updated my phone to iOS 18.1, and having Apple car play issues it will not connect wirelessly

[@dondearman4803]

That’s a lower trim truck my 2024 Sierra has 110 plug on dash and in console and 2 camera plugs on rear bumper

[@AdventureRocks]

Great point. Ironic isn't it...we pay $$ and get less :)

[@Patty-qh3lm]

I wish they would bring back a real cigarette light port. I don't even smoke but they seem to come handy when I had one. I ordered a Chevy smoking package in the past, and it came loose with a cup holder ashtray and a cigarette lighter to insert but no port to plug into. What a joke.

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you, still would be nice to have dedicated 12V port. That's kinda funny about the ashtray and lighter provided, but no port.

[@shamindersingh15]

Experinced the same with my Sierra 1500 Elevation, 2024...🙄

[@TheShanman69]

Tried the adapter, would not power my radar detector. Ended up going through the power at review mirror with adapter wires

[@AdventureRocks]

Sorry to hear. Do you have a 2024 with same refreshed interior like mine in video?

[@dd5450]

The power adapter at the rear view mirror works sweet. I had the exact same Furion issue. There is a youtube video that shows putting a gen5diy plug and play harness from the mirror camera box to a 3.5mm barrel plug on a wire. Im sure there are competing solutions, but this works well. However, the website doesn’t list the 24 gm hd as compatible. I called and they verified it works. I installed and it does-well.

[@terrymorrill4605]

My 2024 has one brand new truck. No one added it for I'm the first owner

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you! Thanks for watching. Oddly on the Pro & Custom trims with prior interior they still get a 12V.

[@kempie9901]

Is that 40 watts at 5, 9, 12, or 19 volts? Either way to be honest, 40 watts is terrible. Thats like 3.3 amps. So 1/6th of that the old 12v outlets were capable of.

[@AdventureRocks]

Great question. As best I can tell the 40W is max output regardless of voltage. With my MacBook in the video it was 20V = so 2A, but you're correct at 12V it'll be 3.3amps. The USB PD spec is kinda neat the way it can function at different voltages. Maybe it doesn't completely make up for the fact the 10A 12V outlet is missing, but it at least helps cover a lot of the devices we might use with a USB PD cable.

[@WilliamsFamily204]

Great information, but I must say the Furrion cameras are expensive garbage. I had one and the lens clouded up around 2 years and Furrion doesn’t warranty it. I have my RV parked in the shade, so low UV storage.

[@daddydiesel5889]

I’ll stick with my super duty

[@AdventureRocks]

I almost went with the super duty, but I have a hard time with the whole fixing or repairing daily thing. 🤣

[@RideFaster]

i just tapped into the fuse panel and have 2 cig ports that are hot all the time..... pretty easy..... ridiculous GM didnt put them in the trucks.... its a TRUCK!!! WTF!

[@AdventureRocks]

Great tip, thank you for watching.

[@Xrobberyx]

Doesn’t make much sense to have no 12v but there’s a 3 prong in the center console

[@AdventureRocks]

I hear you, maybe they'll add it back in for us in the next refresh.

[@Xrobberyx]

@@AdventureRocks maybe , I’m still holding my breath that they’ll give us a bed outlet capable of 15 amps 🙄

[@texanwd8387]

I regret trading in my superduty for the 2024 3500

[@AdventureRocks]

Sorry to hear that. I had a similar situation back in 2019 when I went RAM to Chevy, had to go back to RAM in 2021. Sometimes we get used to an "ecosystem" of sorts and those preferences are hard to shift. Superduty is a solid truck.

[@richmccabe2902]

Its dumb. My 17 High Country had 12volt outlet and 120 V AC in the console. They could have easily hidden away a 12volt port.
