Or import a 1999 or older RHD turbodiesel 100 series. I added an LRA sub tank and minimum ~1000 mile range. And it was <$24k shipped to my door with <60k miles.Exactly. I did the math based on our admittedly low annual mileage of our LX, gas at $5/gallon, and a $20k sale value of our LX towards buying a new $70+ turbo diesel Tahoe that reportedly gets twice the mileage of our LX. If I forked out the $50k difference in pricing in cash, I found that It would take 17+ years for that trade to recover that $50k in fuel savings. Didn't even calc in insurance on new $70+k SUV, crazy Calif DMV bend over fees, etc. I dunno...maybe at some point I'll be more motivated to swing it but right now I'm just not seeing the value there.
tell us about the 49g main tank. does it intrude upon spare tire space?
gas tank is in the frront of rear axle and the spare tire mounts behind the rear axle. Never the twain shall meettell us about the 49g main tank. does it intrude upon spare tire space?

10-4.
in my use, that will probably need a skid plate.
also, i can drive 7000 miles on the $ used for that option. Think i'll just use jerry cans
wise decions: I fail that testThe tank is made from very thick steel, dry weight is claimed to be 120lbs. I wouldn't want to balance my whole rig on it like a skid/slider but it would take one hell of a hit.
This is a hobby, if it was all about wise financial decisions this forum wouldn't exist. I want longer range and for it to be seamlessly integrated. To me it's worth it.
The 40 gallon auxiliary tank goes where the spare tire currently resides. That is the compromise (relocating the spare). But running around with 80 gallons means that you can top up your hundy when you feel like it vs it being part of the daily plan.tell us about the 49g main tank. does it intrude upon spare tire space?
