about the only thing I saw worth any difference between the two was the fuel tank size. Extra 12 gallons in the ford is nice.
I gotta stop way before 36 gal much less 48:o
well I agree on that part as well, BUT rest stops are quick. I figure a gas stop is at least 20 minutes by the time you exit, get to the pump, pump get back on the road, often 30+ minutes. And then there is gas stop planning.
Much rather be able drive all day with only a fuel stop either in the AM before we leave or at the end of the day when we arrive or close to it.
36 gallons is marginal for that when towing, 48 gallons.. perfect.
As I mentioned in another post I'd gladly pay extra for a larger tank. Aftermarket tanks are way to expensive.
Course the downside to >35 gallons is Kroger shuts off the discount and stops the pump at 35 gallons, safeway at 25 gallons. So that plays into fuel stops as well.
