Okay, I'll play along...

Why is it dumb?

You want to increase the range you have and don't want to put auxillary gas tanks in your bed...

By your logic, why would anyone fill up their gas tank past 28 gallons?

Increasing the range another 150 miles at a cost of $500 or more sounds logical to you?

No mods yet and some of us may have more money than to know what to do with So if I want a bigger tank than thats cool. Also the toolbox with tanks in them sell all day long so maybe your the one with dumb ideas

I just went out and bought a Titan because I test drove and really liked it. New the manager and said what the hell bought it. Wish I would have got the long bed 4x4 but I still love this truck. LOL

put a tank in the bed...

*Troll Crap* · 02-08-2008, 03:04 PM

Well the be is so tiny I didnt want to put anything in there. I woul like to put it in stock posititon and havent found anything yet

Although I understand your desire for longer range. I wouldn't bother with an add on tank. Especially this being Gasoline, not diesel. The added long term danger of any leakage, crash danger, and weight penalty of hauling additional tank and fuel, simply wouldn't be for me.

It isn't a bad idea depending on how much travel that you do on long trips. I know the swb trucks(ie all pre 07) have a spot on the frame that appears would accomodate another strap for a longer tank. i have contemplate this myself, but since more ppl are interested, next time that i have one in the air, i will measure this discrepancy and check part numbers on the fuel senders.

I'd appreciate it myself to see about the feasibility.

We have folks who are making their own skid plates so fabricating an extension seems doable there.

Thanks.

By increasing the range, I would have the option of hunting for gas stations that are less expensive as opposed to automatically required to buy gas when I'm low. For example, the trip from Raleigh to Grand Rapids makes me stop in West Virginia where gas is expensive and then in Michigan while if I were to stop elsewhere along the trip, I would save a few bucks. I do that twice a year.

Likewise, a day trip to Myrtle Beach, SC wouldn't require a stop at all.

I also take a trip to Florida. Gas in Georgia was the least expensive along the route.

Stowing gas tanks in a bed invites them to get stolen.

SO other than because I think it's cool to mod my Titan, in this case, there are some other benefits I would enjoy.

*Troll Crap* · 02-08-2008, 05:07 PM

My point right on target

I will use my truck on camping trips and dont want people that I travel with that have diesel talking shiz.

I will look into this myself and c how much a tank and strap will cost

I have driven from Atlanta to Fort worth... 6 times now... I had to piss before the tank went dry every time.. It went 400+ miles each time.

you know you are still going to run the bigger tank dry

Were u towing. Also I live in cali so if your not doing 90 then you might as well get off the road. So I burn alot of yummy fuel.
