Even if you don't have room for a larger tank, you may have room for a second tank somewhere. Or, you could put a tank in the bed of the truck and use a transfer pump to move it to your main tank.
I've seen guys put a small bladder tank on their roof, ~20-25 gal, with a simple gravity feed. Also seen guys with a larger bladder tank in their truck bed with a transfer pump. Personally, I carry 2 7 gal "blue cubes" with me to our long weekend boondocker. One I'll use for hand-washing and tooth brushing outside; the other is a "spare". I've dumped both in my fresh tank on one occasion. Most times I'll dump whatever's left in both of them in the black tank for the drive out and to the dump site, about 30 miles away. If anything is left after that, it goes to help put out the camp fire.
