Cigarette Lighter wattage available?

Curious on the wattage available if it can supply 400 watts using an inverter.

Being a non smoker I can’t even imagine if there is an ashtray in my truck. I thought all cig lighters got a remake into PowerPoint outlets.

Someone set me straight, I don’t care to get wet running out to the truck to look

Likely blow the fuse.

Watts = Amps x Volts.

I saw in another post, the Maverick has a 20 amp fuse.

For a 12v cigarette lighter or 12v accessory outlet	Maximum Power Output
Specified fuse amperage	Watts = 12v x DC Amps
5 amps	60 watts Power Output
10 amps	120 watts Power Output
15 amps	180 watts Power Output
20 amps	240 watts Power Output

It is on a 20 amp fuse so no, unless the inverter would have to be a split phase inverter legs phased to yield 120v. According to previous post OEM inverter appears to be split phase with each of 120 plug (black to green and white to green being 60 volts each. Which most devices will see as 120 volts unless they require pure sine wave). The post if I remember correctly was "inverter weirdness". Try searching if you like. (It's the same as 120/240 in your residence).

There is a smokers package ($70?) which gets an ashtray and actual cigarette lighter which fits into one of the cup holders.

If you're talking about the 12v Power Point, uh, no.

I have this inverter this has the cigarette lighter part of the input wiring. I guess that with the 20-amps @ 12v = 240 watts not enough then. Thanks

Depending on inverter! Since you have inverter find an available 40-60 amp power source. The dcdc Hvb converter is capable of sustained 265 amps.
You might check to see where OEM smokers package plugs in?

Are you talking about the 110v / 400 watt outlet (rear of centre console or in the bed), Optional or included in the lux package, if so it is not connected at all to the 12v receptacle (cigarette lighter), it has its own special system connecting it to the truck.
