Which Dometic CFX fridge size? (on sale for Memorial Day)

[roaniecowpony]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a Dometic fridge, since they're on sale right now and I'm going to want one for a couple trips this year.

My question is: Which size have you 4 door guys been getting? I thought it was the 55qt?

I ordered a CFX 45. Goose Gear, and others make a slide for it as well. According to Dometic it really is a 46l. It seems as if most of the YouTubers are running with a fridge in the 45l range regardless of make. It gives them more room to carry other things.

I have the CFX45 as well.

If you want to retain the rear seats 45 will be the biggest. 45 and 35 you can fit on a fridge slide. The 55im will be too big unless you want to run it across as I did in the Gladiator.

I have a 25, because it fits lengthwise on a slide behind the rear seats and allows plenty of space for all my other gear. I do like to keep my gear load light and not carry a lot of weight.

I have the 35. Same width and length of the 45, but shorter height wise. I went with the 35 so it would fit under my cargo shelf, which I keep at its lowest. The 45 would have fit length wise, but not height. A 55 would not fit lengthwise in the cargo area of a 4dr, you'd have to go sideways.

If you're willing to go sideways, you can go even larger. Example: https://americanadventurelab.com/product/mass-wide-slide/ (a CFX3 75DZ)

I ended up deciding on the 55 since I run 99% with the rear seat removed completely with a plywood deck over the footwells or with the seat folded down. But my main use is in my pickup with a topper.

The Dometic showed up. I plugged it in and it cooled down to 38F in short order. I also loaded an app for it and can monitor and change temperature remotely. It has both bluetooth and wifi. Starting out great.
