Turn the entire engine bay into a refrigerated cooler.
Saw a post with someone doing electric and putting the battery pack under the hood. Estimated 60 mile range. You would have to fill the bed with batteries to get a decent range. Even the new Ford Lightning has limited mileage when it has an actual load. Something that is not marketed.
