Replace OEM fuel tank?

[TxGearhead]

I've got a 2018 RAM diesel, dually, crew cab, long bed. It is also blessed with a 32 gallon fuel tank.
Has anyone replaced that tank with a larger one? I'm looking at Titan and S&B brands. The S&B is 60 gallons so I'm leaning that direction.
Only issue is the Torklift mounted on the front drivers side. It looks like it could be a tight fit up against the tank.
Has anyone done this swap with Torklifts?
Thanks in advance...

I hadn't heard of them either. Mr. Google found them for me.
I'll probably pull the trigger on them when I see what our income tax situation is, or after the Richmond trip.

I never heard of S&B fuel tanks..... They look to be very similar to Titan...... but 10 additional gallons

My only question is whether you have sufficient payload to carry that additional fuel.

If 200lbs of extra weight is going to snap your axles, you are running in dangerous territory already.

^^Yeah that don't help me if I keep the Bigfoot. I'd probably go with a RDS in bed aux tank if I didn't have the cabover.

Their website says they don't have one for my truck.

Just an "in bed" feed tank per transfer flow's site..

Yeah you got a point but I can pull off on the shoulder, go around to the curb side, open both doors, and pee away with traffic whizzing by.

Stand at 45 degrees to the road facing forward. Hold onto your business with your left hand, point high and and far with your right hand, and position your head in the same direction as your right hand.

People driving past will look up and wonder what the heck you're pointing at.

I had the Titan 52 gallon replacement tank installed a year ago last September. About $1700 w/tax. It hangs down about 3" lower, and the gauge works differently, but no regrets.

When doing a lot of driving I like to stop at least every 4 hours....that is barely a half tank of diesel for my 2018 Ram. I have never had an issue with the tank size. For a break after driving 4 hours, I like to stop for a while so the time spent refueling is not a concern. I typically refuel, use the restroom, spend a few minutes in the camper checking emails, planning routes, and just plain taking it easy. I often take a short nap.

After a decent rest, I am ready for another 4 hours. In the Summer when the days are long, I often do a couple of rest stops and feel relaxed and can easily handle 10-12 hours of driving. If I try to avoid or shorten my rest breaks, I feel beat up with only about 8 hours of driving.

Four hours on half a tank?
What size tank do you have?

Four hours of highway driving is maybe 240 miles with little or no delays due to traffic, construction or road conditions. Under decent conditions, my mileage with the loaded camper is about 15 mpg. So that works out to about 16 gallons. My highway mileage is typically a bit less than 15, but I also rarely travel more than 200 miles at a stretch.

My tanks is whatever is standard in a 2018 3500 Ram CTD. I think that is 33 gallons.
