Has anyone added the 110V outlet to there interior and if so how difficult. I have a 2019 RST Z71 and it does not have it and I would like to add it. I don't know if behind the blank plate if the wiring is there or not but if anyone could add some insight I would greatly appreciate it.

Simple answer. It can't be done with factory hardware.

I took that trip and found that if it's not ordered from the factory, it can't be upgraded.

I plan on doing this in mine as well, used it often in my 15.
Im going to get a good inverter and run a new primary wire from the battery (will be useful in the future as well) then connect to the factory blank with some diy.
You could most likely make 3 of your own for what the dealer wants.

Ps I believe this has been covered multiple times.

Used it for what. I just ordered a 2020 that has that inside plug. So I'm asking what would I use it for?

Everything from a crock pot to keep food warm traveling to parties, to chargers for tools. It even ran the combustion blower for my stoker stove in a pinch once when I lost power.
Iirc it was nowhere near 15 amps, couldn't run high draw items.

The panel on my 2019 Silverado 1500 RST can be pried off and voila! Two plugs are attached to the back of it. They fit perfectly into an OE electric power outlet I bought to begin a power outlet project. Car companies put in these simple inexpensive harness pigtails to make it easier for their assemblers at the plant. Now the problem presented is what/where do these go to behind the dash? The easy answer would probably be to analyze the wire color codes for the vehicle and trace them back to somewhere.

Yes there are wires there. I believe there are even wires that run to the rear for the bed plug as well. The inverter is mounted on the back wall of the cab behind the seat. However just hooking things up won't make it work like from the factory.

    • It took me a minute, but I got it.😆
    • I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter 
    • Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.     
    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
