Best Mid-Size 12V Fridges Ranked

35 12V fridges from 30 to 49 liters (about 32 to 52 quarts).

Last updated: October 21, 2026

The mid-size range is the most common choice for an SUV or truck bed: enough for a long weekend for two to four people, and still light enough for two people to lift in and out when full. Most are single-zone. A dual-zone model gives up a little space to a divider but lets one side freeze while the other chills.

Prices were last checked October 21, 2026 and are subject to change; the price and availability shown by the retailer at the time of purchase apply.
