I have to believe the aux batt option is for a gasser. Never have I seen a diesel of any brand with one batt.
Been towing a 5er for 15 yrs and one alt has been enough. Option may be cheap till you have to replace one on your dime. The only reason I can see is like was said before, running a big inverter for a welder etc.
Youngsters... The first vintage diesel pickups had one battery. Cold weather starting with glow plugs and heater grids is why they went to two batteries.
Thanks for the "Youngsters" comment. I'm 62 so you must be very old. Are the modern pickups better than the team of mules you started with??
