This tank is vertical so it only took up 10 inches of the 8 ft bed.. As for diesel because we tow our home i would consider nothing short of a 1 ton dually..Most are diesel.
I sold our old 07 duramax 2500 and found a ram locally
With only 27k on the odo. The duramax was a great truck..but i wanted something bigger with our fulltime
Lifestyle underway. The 1 ton ram dually fits the bill.
Its a bit of a tank but tows with ease..we feel safe and secure..not white knuckled..ha it gets 18 to 20 if i do my part and ive gotten as good as 14 towing..granted it was
Mostly downhill with a tailwind. . But it generally gets
10-12 towing our 11k gvwr TT.. its a 6spd manual. G56 trans.. which i actually prefer.
