Benefit of extra fuel tank.
I just went 1237 miles between fuel stops. I towed for about 600 hundred of those miles. I've got an extra 90 gallons in the truck bed. With rising fuel prices it's nice to avoid the gas station.

LOL. No.
IMO, anyone towing 34k combined with a 13’ 4” high and 102” wide RV is a fool. Why tow a house when you can buy a large home that is attached to a foundation, located on property?
My 5th wheel is low profile and lightweight. I get slightly better fuel mileage towing it with the 2019 Ram. But because my 15 year old Ford V10 has a bigger fuel tank, I can tow the same 5th wheel the same distance on one tank.
I was hoping for better fuel mileage with the Ram, but the fuel mileage on the diesel isn't really that great. It's just slightly better than a 15 year old F350 with a V10 and 4:30's
BTW, this is not a commercial for Sinclair.
The fuel mileage I got with the Ram towing a 34' bumper pull with the Ram numerous times to and from Utah wasn't great either. When I'm not towing anything, it's totally different. I'll get 17 mpg. But, once I hook up a trailer to the Ram, the fuel mileage tanks. IMO, it's just a wussy truck with a heavy hunk of iron under the hood. LOL.
