Truck in signature. I found pretty much 1 thread about this and it was 2 years ago yet all over the place so going to ask again.
My truck will sit for a long period of time sometimes (for example my last post was the last time my truck turned on, so a month ago and i likly wont turn it on this Sunday for a trip up north, so sat for 5 weeks total without ever turning on and no charger, wouldnt be suprised if my battery is shot by now tbh, if it is welp ill get another and slap it on their). That said i would like a trickle charger/tender/maintainer recommendation so i can buy one today online. The one i have is for my toys so its probably not enough for the truck and well, i use it for my toys. That said i also want to know what amp i should get as well, obviously a 12V one id assume but what amp and what are yall using specifically for these trucks? Would be great if yall could drop links or exact names so i can look them up. Thank you

I used a tender type device for my 2019, it was a H Fright 4 amp with the quick disconnect leads. You need more than the puny .75 to 1.25 amp ones IMHO.

NOCO Genius 1 is all you need.
You need to maintain a charge, not create one.. big, big difference.
Same one in use for many of your toys will work just fine maintaining the one in your truck.
Key is use it before you need it…not after :)
