There are fridges that fit under the tonneau (Dometic CFX 35 being one) and all of them will fit in the bed with the tonneau open (fully or partially). There is not any aero range impact from the tonneau being open or closed, so the only consideration is really rain, but not sure if that's a problem for most fridges. Dust gets in regardless of where the tonneau is.This one of my biggest disappointments with my R1T. I was very bummed when I lifted the false bottom and and saw that hump there. That hump is for the cooling fan for the batteries. If that hump was a few more inches down my ARB would fit. To me a fridge is more important than an inductive stove in a adventure vehicle. I don't want to go back to hotdog water in a cooler. Heck, for that matter, even a decent cooler won't fit in the frunk or in the bed with the cover on.
Looks like the fridge will go in the back seat for now. I would prefer the rear seat tilt up from the front edge instead of the back. It would be easier to make a mount for the fridge. Lack of a 12V in the bed and the cab is an oversight too. I guess I can pull 12V from the tunnel for the cab, but it is not optimal.
