Truck stops.

Yes, use first click on the lock and it is still fast :)

Most pumps for trucks at truck stops have a larger diameter nozzle to accommodate larger volume of fuel to fill tank faster so don’t use those as the nozzle won’t fit in your fill inlet. Most truck stops have an RV or pickup island or at the auto pumps most diesel pumps are on the outside island

I have a 14 year old truck and the big ones fit my inlet.

You have a 2013 DuraMax, have you even tried a truck stop nozzle? It WILL fit.

Ford diesel comes with a 35 gallon tank. Mine gets over 20 mpg empty. That is a lot of miles.

I like truck stops and do not see any price issues with them in the West. They have lots of stuff that can be useful on a serious road trip.

7.3L Diesel Excursions come with 44 gallons ;)

My 2017 F-350 came with a 48 gallon tank.:C

2012 F250/350 Ford SRW short bed 4/4 crew cab comes with a 26 gal fuel tank. The 2018 adds a few gallons, but is still too small for pulling large trailer. Carrying extra fuel is a good thing to do. The newer Fords are great trucks, but somehow they lost it with fuel capacity. In the past they offered saddle tanks, but I don't think they do any more.

Most highway truck stop charge premium for fuel as apposed to station that are a few miles from the high way. However the Pilot/Flying J discount card offers a discount. I installed and secured a 12 gal marine fuel tank in the truck bed for $100 and use a $12 battery operated pump to transfer the fuel. My F350 has a 26 gal tank that usually allows a driving range of 250 miles. The 12 gal tank is available if a fuel stop is unavailable. I had to use it twice in the last 3 years.

This is an excellent illustration of the different way different people use the auxiliary tanks. You can use it for emergencies, or you can use it for convenience, they work either way.

YEP, here is mine. Only used it once. Stop every 2-250 miles easy off and on the highway. Less hassle less money spent on fancy tank and extra weight being carried. Besides that would put me over my RAWR and I would not be able to justify that with a few on here!

A few bucks here and there are not worth my time or aggravation.
