Max Amps for 12 Volt Plugs? Looking at air compressors.

[Tacocat]

Looking to get a portable air compressor for my 2024 Limited (non-hybrid) and didn't know what the Amps were for the 12 volt plugs in the cab and in the bed. I see the 7.5 amp fuse near the bed 12 volt plug, but didn't know if that was for the plus.

I'm looking at a 10 amp or 15 amp portable compressors. Are those too much for the bed plug? How about for the cab? Thanks!

A compressor that runs off a cigarette plug emits so little air its basically a homeopathic tire inflator. The typical limit is 10 amps for the cab. With the truck running. If you want to fill a truck tire before the heat death of the universe, it will need to be a hardwire or battery clip compressor and they draw about 25amps minimum.

What are the fuses in the fuse box under the hood showing?

I'll check under the hood tomorrow. Was looking at one of these (https://no.co/products/air/air-compressors). Guess the Air15 would draw too much and based on your comment the Air10 wouldn't be worth it. Thoughts on the Air20 (connects directly to the battery).
