It's not just the added range that makes a bigger tank advantageous. It also gives you the opportunity to be more selective about where you buy your fuel, and bypass a high-cost area entirely. While my current truck doesn't have an after-market fuel tank, a previous truck did and I loved it. I carried a total of 65 gallons between two tanks. Did I always use the full range it gave me? No. But as I said, it's not just about range. It was there if I needed it, which I did a few times.

I would go for the biggest, which would be the 67 gallon Titan. I also like the fact that it's plastic. As long as it's adequately protected, plastic would be superior IMHO.

I agree with Lwiddis. For me it is like spending $1000 to increase your MPG by 1 mpg. I cannot imagine breaking even in your lifetime, much less your trucks lifetime. To spend that kind of money cause you can, okay. To spend that money for bragging rights, okay. But if you do note frequently drive cross country, I can't see any advantage. How much will it cost to haul the extra fuel?

Guys... Sorry, I should explained WHY I want a bigger tank. It has nothing to do with picking and choosing the cheapest fuel.

I'm 54 feet long from bow to stern. I can't fit in your mom and pop convince store fuel ups. And I NEVER run below 1/4 tank unless I know for fact a fuel station I can fit in is just up ahead....so to the comment of "370 miles is plenty". I for one do not wait until mile 369 to then look for fuel. So "370 mile range" comment is entirely irrelevant.

So - this is about range and "fit into the gas station" anxiety. In my case, a 57-67 gallon tank would allow me to more easily space out the spots I can fit in.

So back to the question - anyone have one, and what are the opinions of the tank you have?
