We have a long box crew cab DRW. I love this combo because I can use my 90 gal fuel tank/tool box combo. With 45 gal diesel on board plus 90 gal auxiliary tank, it gives me a practical driving range of over 1,200 miles! Yes, it consumes a lot of space forward of the 5er hitch, but I will sacrifice that space in favor of NEVER having to hunt for a fuel station while in the middle of a trip with our 40' toy hauler in tow!

Parking, driving in town; all are easy as long as you pay attention. The aux tank lets me take advantage of fuel savings, gives me a nice tool box, and gravity feeds into the main tank. The crew cab provides comfortable seating for up to 6. The DRW's allow me to tow anything I want or may buy in the future.

Like trailers, don't under-buy on your truck (and bed space) and regret your decision in the future. We tend to keep our trucks for 10 years or so. I think I'm set for the future.
