I agree that the truck can't sustain the cooler. I got an Anker portable battery and it keeps my cooler powered for days with no problems.

I have several power stations of different sizes that power all of my off grid needs. There's no reason to abuse a vehicles battery to power a 12 volt DC cooler or other DC devices.

I use an Anker 521 Power Station https://a.co/d/jhWwNnm plugged into the truck's rear seat USBC to keep it charged. It runs my BougeRV 12v fridge https://a.co/d/cJw9Aui just fine with the little bit of charging the power bank gets while I drive. I did not do anything with ForScan and I just let that USBC shut off when it was designed to and I have never had any problems. That Anker can charge with the USBC located in the front. That is convenient in a couple ways. There is no big 12v plug in the back seat and charging the Anker from the front makes all chords going in and out the front side of the power station.
