48 gallons is great if you are towing a really large trailer and only get 10 MPG or less.
I think I would like the 3.55 rear axle with a low RPM reving diesel engine. I had to drive a 2500 series 1987 GMC 6.2L diesel (work truck) and it would wind out at 65 MPG. The dually 3500 truck had a 4.56 rear axle and would hit the rev limiter at 68 MPH. Both engines required new heads around 70,000 miles.
Good luck with your new truck!
