I’m the opposite. I’d much rather pull the bed than drop the tank. Any time I need to replace a fuel pump I pull the bed. Helps having a good oak tree branch to hoist it from but I’ve done it without as many times.
Unfortunately a prototype tank wont be ready to fit until January at the earliest. Parts from ford are on back order and LRA is starting to get backed up on international orders in Australia. That is the latest news I have.Any updates from Long Range? I'm real jealous of my friends F150 35 gallon tank. We get the same MPG towing but he can go twice the distance. My wife told me to get a truck with a bigger gas tank.
I feel like there are alot of great products just around the corner for our trucks. Mishimoto and Mountune should be releasing intercooler piping to match their intercoolers next year as well.
I can understand wanting a flush mount or higher tank. Weather that will happen or not I can't say but as mentioned before they make nice tanks that can take a beating and if you go offroad then put a Lift kit(not a leveling kit) on the truck and clearance shouldnt be a problem like most want to think. I myself have the Old Man EMU lift and I haven't touched anything underneath on the trail and it makes it wonderful. It doesn't mean I wont touch anything yet but the possibility is still there. If you install just a leveling kit then you have a greater chance of hitting things down below since all you did was raise the front. And in my opinion it is kind of silly to put a leveling kit on any vehicle you plan to take offroad.
Thanks for your continued interest - also for mention of Mishimoto. That firm is a favorite of ours - great products, amazing communications skills and an inspiration to us as a business on how to do it "the right way"
I would buy it regardless, but there seems to be plenty of room to make q large tank b
Thats great to hear. I can't wait to purchase your finished product and be able to skip a gas station or two when we are towing our boat out of town.
100%, I go to some secluded race tracks at varying hours and it never fails to have to stop in some sketchy area at the worse time haha. I have a 16 gallon gas tank with a hand pump I use @ the track which I've resorted to use in the bed of the truck as my reserve for now. Better to pull off @ a rest stop or well lit area and use that then the latter. Hopefully something comes over this fall/winter so I can just have a bigger tank slung under this damn truck, I love it otherwise
Yeah, I'm hauling my motos as well.100%, I go to some secluded race tracks at varying hours and it never fails to have to stop in some sketchy area at the worse time haha.

Yep, 8.5x17 here so I got a BIG OLE BRICK behind me haha. I'm around 11-12 as well if I am pacing, but when I go south, mostly everything is 70mph and I sink to 9-10 mpg going 70+. I'd love to get at min a mid-20s gallon tank but honestly, I want a 30+ gallon one.
