There similar new solutions like your Eaton product if you can't find a yard pull. Be sure to allow for fuses or fusible links to keep a small electrical problem from becoming a 'replace the truck due to fire' problem.
Great info, but wishing I was in the USA, sorry lI should have made it clear I'm located down under. We are aware we just have to spend what it takes to get what we need. What I try to avoid is doing it twice. Truck in question
