I am not really wanting to have a tank in my bed but doing that is way cheaper than the under bed aftermarket tanks. The biggest under bed tank that I found was 70 gal. I will wait until I retire and take longer trips to decide if I need more fuel. My buddy with a earlier 6.7 SRW short box Ford had a dinky stock tank and loves his aftermarket tank replacement.
Happy roads to you.

I installed the transfer tank because I could only go two hundred miles before having to buy fuel. The fuel gravity feeds into the stock tank so as I drive the fuel will flow into the factory tank without me having to feed it with a pump. When I see the fuel gauge on the dash start to move I know I have used all the fuel in the transfer tank and I am now using the fuel in the factory tank. At the end of the day when we stop for the night I will fill up so I have both tanks full to start the day. I love the set up. NO it doesn't save me money nor does it give me any extra advantage except I have the ability to travel more miles without stopping for fuel. This takes pressure off of me looking for fuel along the road worried bout finding a place that is RV friendly. I love to travel worry free as much as possible and this set up helps me to relax and enjoy the trip more.
