Re: Auxillary tank under the bed for 2008 F350?
I think the simple answer to that question is..... MONEY .... on Fords part. Look at it this way, if the part only cost $5.00 extra per truck, and Ford builds 200,000 a year, that's a direct expense of $1 Million.
Would I like a bigger tank... Sure. Would MOST people (ie. the masses) want a larger tank, I don't know. Look how many of us bought the trucks we have, versus how many of us actually buy the aftermarket tanks. (on a side note, look how many 4 wheel drives there are on the road, and how many are pavement queens; will never see dirt). The aftermarket suppliers do good business; like most things some are very good products and some are junk, but are they selling 200,000 units a year? That tells me that not too many people rank a very large fuel tank high on their "required" list.
I'd like better mileage too, but I didn't buy the truck for it's mileage; I bought it to tow stuff with. Would I be happy with even a 1 or 2 MPG change for the better? Sure... Fuel mileage wasn't real high on my requirement list when I bought this one, It's just the cost of running the vehicle. Like someone else said... When it's empty, I fill it up.
Just my 2¢ worth.
