Not that these should really be necessary unless you are leaving your vehicle unplugged in cold conditions for extended periods of time, but since there has been so much discussion about it recently here are two that I'd recommend for this vehicle (and anything else in your fleet). In particular:

If you want to save a few bucks but still get a good unit, the NoCo chargers get good reviews. I don't own one yet, but I have one of their larger 10A units on order for dealing with some larger batteries.
https://no.co/genius2 - 2A, totally sufficient, $50
https://no.co/genius5 - 5A, will charge faster, more useful for other car/truck batteries, $70
Hope this helps!
- They are safe for 24/7 connection
- Have nice "hardwire" connectors available from the manufacturer (either included or as an accessory)
- Are compatible with AGM batteries, and have repair features to revitalize a sad battery
- Charge current at least 2A maximum (but smart enough to back off when needed)
