RTIC has a cheaper (lighter as well) 52qt one
52 QT Ultra-Light Hard Sided Cooler | RTIC
Our 52 QT ultra-light hard-sided cooler is more than 30% lighter than other coolers of the same capacity. Long lasting ice retention and durability.rticoutdoors.com
Yes, it's injection rather than roto, but it still has 3 inches of insulation, etc etc.
Yeah, I've seen that, but it actually ends up slightly larger than the Lifetime 55 (which really was a very nice cooler and is an insane value at $100...)...just literally won't fit in my trunk. Also just bigger than I am going to need anytime soon.
the RTIC 45 fits. If they made a 35 I'd be into that too (or another "Ultra-Light" non-rotomolded one a size down).
Lifetime makes a 48qt that might be small enough outside, but Walmart doesn't carry it which means it costs almost double what you can get a 55qt for (and it doesn't come in the sweet blue color):
