I'm pulling a 5'er with an 8' bed crewcab. I've been thinking a diamond plate aux tank/toolbox might be handy to have and not compromise towing and backing the coach. Lots of US made brands availab...

Just to clarify for ONE person on here I was staying with the subject at hand. Read the second 1/2 of the thread title " > best in-bed combo toolbox/aux fuel tank?" it says aux fuel tank and my 5 gallon container is MY aux fuel tank.
Personally I am already at my RAWR and I am sure many others are not too far behind. So adding a 70 gallon tank plus the tanks weight I would guess add around 7-800 lbs??? Something to consider.
I stop for fuel and usually add around 27 gallons. Take 27 x .30 mentioned earlier that would be a savings of $8.10. The model listed below weighs 175lbs plus fuel will put you at 700#. The cost is $1,700 with shipping plus tax. It would take my 210 fill ups to repay that. Then you need to figure it does cost to carry the extra weight of ? $$$. That .30 savings is VERY optimistic!!!
As mentioned if ya want it buy it not everything pencils out. Personally like I mentioned I would buy the Titan OE replacement at $1,200, less fuel but still plenty and not wasting my tool box space.
Hoping my 5th gen RAM does have a bit bigger tank.
