I had a 2014 LTZ the outlet in front of the console could run seemingly anything when the truck was running, now we have taken a big step back so it can't run anything even when the truck is running but the smallest device, if I want to use a shop vac for 2 minutes I'm not going to kill the battery because the truck is running, the consumer needs to use common sense. It really is foolproof because if the truck is on it is powered up, if the truck is off it is dead, if it is running and gives more power you might just run out of gas, shame on you.
