Pro, its paid for, though that shouldn't count. So many features for a bare bones truck it's hard to count but I guess the power is so much better than my old 8.1 liter.
Con, the stupid DEF tank under hood fill, what were they thinking?!
Best after market feature is the 60 gallon in bed tank, it let me run from Fresno, CA to Denver without stopping for fuel.
What does that 60 gallon tank full of fuel do for your rear axle carrying capacity?
The tank itself weighs about 40 lbs., the fuel weighs another 420 so I lose a bit of cargo capacity but I'm not pushing any limits with my trailer. For a heavier trailer then you would probably be getting close to the limits. Its just a handy way to extend my distance between fueling. It does take up a bit of bed space but no more than a tool box, plus it has a small tool box on top, about 6" deep. When empty I can go close to 1800 miles before running out as long as I am being nice to the skinny pedal. With the trailer I made it from Saint George, UT to Fresno, CA without fueling.
I am already at my RAWR so adding more fuel would be nice but I carry a 5 when towing.
