I am not sure how big the drive is but the Dodge I rented ate 4 gig and didn't even bump the "gauge" off of empty. Ports it has, but I haven't probed deeply enough to determine if it has a hard drive. It also has a wireless charging pad for a cell phone and an AC electric receptacle in the bed. |

Heard someone talking about those pad cellphone chargers on the telly. Thought they said Apple IPhones don't work on them unless you buy a separate 'case'??? |

Yes, the current iterations of the iPhone don't work with the pad chargers. There are adapter and cases, but the reviews of these I've seen are mixed. The iPhone 7 probably will allow the use of a pad charger, but...I don't know whether that means it will work through the sort of heavily padded iPhone case I prefer. |
