A retractable power interface includes a plurality of power ports, such as a 12 volt DC port, a 120 volt AC port, and a USB port. The power interface may be located in a variety of locations on a vehicle, such as in the interior of a truck bed, the tailgate of a truck bed, and a rear bumper. The power interface is coupled to the vehicle power by a retractable cord. The power interface may be removed from a stationary position or location and moved to a convenient location. The cord may automatically retract when it is desired to return the power interface to the stationary position. The retractable power interface may be located in the interior sidewalls of a truck bed, the interior side or top of a tailgate, and/or in the rear bumper.
