I'm thinking differently, perhaps I'm not clear. Underneath, looking up from the bed, the holes are through the steel. There are two round holes under the square plates, square holes from where the bed cap clips on, and a few threaded nutserts for installing accessories. If I got rubber body...
I've been thinking on this, and I think I have an idea for a solution, though absolutely no skillset to design it.
We keep making plugs that go in from the top, however the leaks are coming up from the bottom. How about designing a plug that comes in from the bottom and seals the leak there...
We've kind of proven that the wiring is there on the bed harness. Just go pin out the harness (look for the orange loom) and the two wires that aren't in orange tape should be the 12VDC line. Then you're not going to have to filet a harness and will also have a dedicated circuit.
So I finally got my brand new 2025 Ranger XLT. After examining several threads and finally seeing the harness on the truck, there IS no change to the wiring harness to the bed power outlets.
I purchased a 2024 panel - the part number superseded to N1WZ-19A464-CC. It was about $100.
I...
No, the 2025 comes with a 400w 120VAC inverter, but the refrigerator works much better off 12VDC as that is it's native voltage. I also use the inverter for other loads in the cab and running both would overload it.

The refrigerator has a built in battery which charges sufficiently while I'm running down the road. I've been using it since I got my 2021 Ranger which has the 12VDC plug in the bed.
It showed the wiring isn't at the plug panel, it doesn't show if the plug for the jumper is still on the bed wiring harness. This is my question and I can't seem to find a diagram clear enough in the parts catalog. I'd like to know before my truck gets here...
That's correct. I'm more curious if the plug is still on the harness. If so I can just order the jumper harness and panel off a 2024; if not I'll going to have to wire it. I need a 12VDC connection in my bed, I use a 12VDC refrigerator and need to power it.
For 2025 the Ranger no longer includes a 12 volt outlet in the bed. Has anyone added one yet? Is the plug still on the harness? Inquiring minds want to know.
