I think people should throw a 5 gallon can filled in their tool box and travel that way for a while. THEN decide do I really want to loose the bed space and spend the $$$ to have the tank. Ya need to stop to pee so why not stop and get fuel at the same time?
To save a few $ now and then is NOT worth my time. I use the TruckStops, use the facilities, possibly get something to eat and NEVER worry about getting in or out.
Or maybe you should think about listening to those that have gone both ways - that started with just the regular OEM tank, and then switched to an aux tank, since they have experience you do not.
Many if not most of the posters who have an aux tank have now done it on multiple trucks, not just a one-and-done.
You keep bringing up the idea of a 5 gallon tank, which is in no way comparable to being able to drive all day (or multiple days), and only stopping when/where you want to, not worrying about needing to stop at a truck stop.
