What's the deal with that anyway?!?So the Sierra, at least for my use case, simply isn't a viable option because of it's 24 gallon gas tank. I would like to tow my track car longer distances to other tracks like WGI, VIR, LRP, Palmer, NJMP, Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio and the need to find a gas station every 200-250 miles in a GM (gas) 1/2 ton versus every 300-400 miles in a F150 (36 gallon gas tank) matters. If I went the 1/2 ton pickup route, I would be limited to the F150.
I've played around with the 1/2 truck configuration tools from all the manufacturers and RAM you can upgrade the size of the tank (standalone option), F150 you can upgrade the size of the tank (standalone option), even Toyota has an option package for the Tundra which gives you a bigger gas tank along with a few convenience features.
WTF GM? I want at least 30 gallons, 32-35 would be nice. And the companies that sell aux tanks only sell them for diesel engines. I'm imagining the range of a 2.7 turbo 1/2 ton with 10 speed auto (instead of the 8 speed). I'll bet you could go 500-600 miles between fill ups. Heck with a 2.7 turbo F150 4x2 with bigger tank you've got a theoretical range of right around 600 miles. Sounds great to me.
