A capped 12V socket, fast USB-C, four lighted switches and a volt meter, right in your 3rd Gen's factory rear outlet spot.
The 3rd Gen 4Runner's cargo area was designed in the '90s, years before USB-C existed. The TEQ Offroad Cargo Power Panel takes over the factory rear outlet spot with a billet aluminum panel carrying a capped 12V socket, a 45W USB-C PD port, a QC3.0 USB-A port, a premium multi-color volt meter, a large lighted master switch and three extra lighted switches for your accessories. It plugs into the factory connector through a plug-and-play connector and snaps into place. Nothing to cut or splice.
Everything listed below describes the Fully Assembled kit. Already own another brand's rear panel and want to keep its components? The Billet Housing Only kit gives you the same machined, snap-fit housing to move them into.
✅ Machined Billet Aluminum, Anodized Black - CNC-machined from solid aluminum instead of 3D-printed or molded plastic, then anodized black. A rigid housing made to put up with trail vibration, gear sliding in and out, and hot days in the back of the truck.
✅ Capped 12V Socket - Plug in a 12V cooler, a tire inflator or a camp light. A marine-style cap keeps dust and dirt out when it's not in use.
✅ 45W USB-C PD + QC3.0 USB-A - Bring a '90s truck up to date. The 45W USB-C Power Delivery port quick-charges current phones, tablets and many laptops, and the Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A port takes care of older cables and devices.
✅ 4 Lighted Switches: 1 Master + 3 Extra - A large lighted master rocker sits in the top corner of the panel, with three smaller lighted switches below it ready for the accessories you add to your build later.
✅ Premium Multi-Color Volt Meter - Watch your battery voltage from the cargo area on a clear, multi-color display.
✅ Plug-and-Play Connector - Connects straight to the factory rear outlet connector. No wire taps, no splices and no loose spade terminals.
✅ Snap Fit - Clips lock the panel into the factory rear outlet spot so it sits flush and stays put on washboard roads and rocky trails.
✅ Backed by a Lifetime Warranty - Every TEQ Offroad Cargo Power Panel is backed by a lifetime warranty.
