Where it makes sense
The Tundra 45 is a rigid cooler for buyers who value a sturdy chest and an included dry-goods basket more than minimum lifting weight. YETI publishes both outside and inside dimensions, so you can check the vehicle and the meal containers separately. The model number should not be read as a guaranteed usable quart capacity. Its empty weight already forms a substantial part of the load before ice and groceries are added. It suits a campsite where the chest can remain in an approved storage location; anyone carrying a full cooler over a long approach should examine lighter or wheeled arrangements as well.
The tradeoff
Heavy when empty and much heavier after adding ice and food
