RE: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal
Mine only weights 35,560. Thats full of fuel and hooked to the truck. But then again the truck has 470 gallons of diesel in it.
My Steer axle weights 11,200 lbs

RE: Rv-ers prefer Duramax?
Larry,
Not sure Cummins can handle that H90. Maybe one of them Vesper scooters, or a mini bike from late 60's with a 5-10 horizontal Briggs powering it.

Rough crowd. I had a Yamaha Trail 80 when I was a kid. It was a beast. ;)
Rough crowd?? Nah, it's just the price you pay for being a popular guy! :C
I hope that bad azz trail 80 was not this one?

Where did your sweetie ride? My street Honda 65 had a double seat that many a foxy lady climbed onto. :

It was all red but very similar to that. Took it camping as a teenager and explored the forest service roads.

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
Just curious. Is this thread about fuel tanks or how high your trailer is ????
Or how many evening cocktails some have consumed.

RE: Ram TRX vs Cybertruck
My friends new buddy for his Charger Hellcat.
https://i.imgur.com/l4aoejql.jpg
Saw my first TRX two weeks ago at the lake. I like that one, but man I REALLY like that blue. It is very tempting.
He tried to buy a white one. They would not budge over $1,300. I thought it was bland looking.
He drove from DFW, TX to Kansas to pick it up. I thought no he paid 95k then TX tax on top.
They had one near Palm Springs, CA for 120k and guaranteed they would get it.
The big downside to the TRX is it is so thirsty. You can get really good fuel economy in a hellcat if you want to. Much more difficult in the TRX. But I am guessing most that purchase the TRX will not be daily driving them.
I also think the TRX has a much nicer ride than the Raptor. Plus, that exhaust note makes it a winner in my book.
At 100k I don't think fuel economy was at the top of the list of his concerns. ;)

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
"In my opinion, a heavy TALL RV is foolish. It has a tall roof, that contains air space you can't use."
Stop by some time and I will give you a tour. 5er's have to be tall if a 6'2" person wants to stand up in the upper bedroom area. Then our roofline stays level from there to the back and the cabinetry goes up to and near the ceiling giving us a lot of storage that is nice when living in the RV.
Besides who wants to feel like they are in a Cave.

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
Guess I am a “FOOL” to haul a nice large RV. Must be extra foolish as I also own a 2,500’ rambler in NW WA on property with a 30x40 shop.
Curious why you don’t sell that RAM as it seems you are not happy with it.
On flT ground towing at 60 I will bet you get 9-10 with the RAM and no way more than 7.5 with the gasser same conditions.

Hold on.... I need a moment to wipe the drool off my chin and uhh....ahem....go take care of business!
I have ridden in the Challenger with four adult men on board. NEVER have I experienced anything so fast. Rubber thru five gears then let off. It was INSANE.

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
Loss of bed or toolbox space is a no go for me. "IF" I ever add capacity besides my "5" I keep in my tool box it will be a 55 gallon Titan replacement tank.

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
"other than a noisy, stinky, busy, fuel stop."
You need to get out more! Modern Truck stops are none of the mentioned. Maybe busy at times but that is not an issue as they have plenty of pumps.

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
I was bucking a big head wind yesterday towing and managed to get 6.5 mpg. Barely made it to my usual fuel stop. I filled 31 gallons in a 32 gallon tank.
The 2005 Ford V10 got 6.5 once time pulling in a headwind and pulling the same trailer in a headwind, the 2019 Ram HO diesel got 6.5. The only downside is that Ram's mpg is more sensitive to headwinds and sidewinds. The upside to the Ford is that it has a 36 gallon tank. The Ram is a wimpy 32 so the distance between fuel stops is about the same as the Ford V10 because the fuel mileage of the Ram is only a little better than the Ford pulling the same trailer.
You towing 34k combined with a 13’ 4” high and 102” wide RV?

RE: Benefit of extra fuel tank.
2 posts above I disagree with. 1- the big tanks do save a lot of money and 2 I have been in that same Kroger in GA with my DP with the same trailer at 72ft no problem. I never had any store discount and put 100+ gallons in the DP. It’s a choice and if you want to ride you have to buy fuel no matter what it costs.
Ya simply don't want to take chances when there are two trailers behind the tow vehicle considering access and egress.
https://i.imgur.com/xmZylCYl.jpg
I would over the evening phan my morning fuel up if require with Google Earth, planning my route into and out of a filling station, when we towed the 39'4" 5th wheel.
Hmmmm, I don’t need fuel in the morning many times as it’s purely random what my fuel level is at the end of the towing day.
I get fuel as needed along the way.
