The extra weight wouldn't bother me at all, but the only thing I miss about my F-150 is the 36 gallon tank. Unhooked I don't mind the 26 gallon tank in my SD (300-350 mi range), but it's not real fun looking for a gas station every 200 miles when towing. Also have no desire to spend $1000 on an Aux tank.

And, out west, diesel stations are less frequent and usually more congested.

Price is also a factor. You put a little extra time and distance into filling up that 55gal tank for the cheapest cost in your area and don't have a pay larger premiums along the way for your trip. Depending on distance traveling, you may do your whole towing trip (both ways) on a single tank which is more convenient.

the big tank is the best reason to walk past the short bed trucks and go with the 8 footer. My 03 F250 CCLB had the 36 gallon tank in it and my 08 450 had the 36 gal but I replaced it with a Titan 60gal. Nothing like seeing $200 on a diesel pump. My 150 is a 36 and won't look at anything less.
