2017 F350 Dually diesel.....48 gal on board tank with 10 additional gal attached to back porch. Plenty of range....plenty of power....only problem is the payment but that will pass.
Yeah that sounds perfect, having a 400mile range would be ideal!! I could traverse mountains get stuck, use lots of fuel and no worries!
Also Alaskan-less ... but fwiw ,I wanted diesel and picked a chassis that could accommodate a below the frame auxiliary fuel tank for the added range - that's where I put the money.
I'd suggest looking at cost and availability (per ntsqd) of your options.
Does your truck rear look similar to this ?
If so, I'd consider making a platform extending out the rear that supports 2 jerry cans. Maybe even spacing out the rear bumper to provide some protection (and a mount surface). Not ideal, esp with the LPG and toilet doors, but functional and relatively inexpensive, imo. Or I suppose perhaps could mount those flat type jerry cans to the upper rear wall. That might keep you going until a new truck.
If you're thinking replacement truck at this time anyway, then I'd say diesel if you can get a bigger or aux tank for that model (check first). And note that a delete may make a difference to the fuel consumption. Might have made a difference on vehicle wear and tear also ...
That is basically the model year truck I'm looking to get the gasser I have now is the older body style. And I was planning on having a rack made, but I was thinking more for a generator which is gonna use up even more of my gasoline so I should probably get solar.....
I had a custom built hitch rack "step" designed that had brackets to attach to the outside points of the hitch. I can easily carry two 5 gallon cans on it (weight is no issue, size is). We use it for water, but gas would work too. Will try to get a photo and upload it.
