Bigger fuel tank

So the dealer is bringing my new truck into the bay today to start the transformation- I was there yesterday looking everything over. It's gonna be nice.
The only hanging item is whether or not I want to replace the stock 35 gallon tank with a 65 gallon unit. Kind of leaning towards it. I could go to Santa Barbara to visit family and back to AZ and never have to buy CA overtaxed fuel! It would also be nice when hauling the bigger trailers.

What do you guys think? Any draw backs?

    I added an aux 63 gal tank and love it. I buy fuel where I want to not where I have to.

    I am having a 58 gal tank installed in the bed in a couple of weeks. It will give me 89 gallons

    I've often thought about doing that myself. I hate having to stop for fuel all the time. I sometimes fill up 3 times in one day! Not often but I've had to do it quite a few times.

    I would say go for it.
    Drawbacks? Can't think of any. A little extra weight but that won't hurt anything. Your truck is built to carry stuff.

    I replaced my OEM tank with a Titan replacement 9 years ago. My OEM tank was on 26 gallons which just wasn't enough. No regrets and I would do it again in a minute.
