Any Drawbacks to 33 Gallon Tank?

Depends if it’s winter air or summer air.

Summer air is heavier because of humidity.

Cold air is heavier. That's why hot air rises.

Ask Tom: Is cold air heavier than hot air?

Dear Tom, What is heavier, cold air or hot air? — Steve Scalzitti, Elmwood Park Dear Steve, Cold air is always heavier than an equal volume of hot air. “Air” is actually a mixture…

I use high altitude air.

My compressor is calibrated to output an 80% pure Nitrogen mix.

Wait, so there is a weight limit on these trucks? Other than the rubber stops....

Or, just fill all the tires with helium! Then you can increase your payload

It's thinner. Me too... I figure that thinness is worth maybe 23 mpg vs that thick humid midwest air... Of course that is not completely accurate as it is the lyometer reading.

I collect all the hot air from this forum, my mpg has hit infinity

OK, NOW I know how to maximize gas mileage. Helium filled tires, live at 10,000 feet, only use summer gas 91 grade, never put anything in the truck, 3.21 gears, e-torque, road tires, and only go places where you can go both ways downhill with a tailwind.

I'm set now, thanks for the advice on the Helium.

Don't forget that when you're towing, put everything in the trailer, including the truck.

You truck displays a soap reading?

Man, if he had just remembered to install his WDH first....

I put a build order in and got 13% under MSRP, before tax, title registration, etc. Deals can still be had. No trade in.

I got 23% off MSRP plus top dollar on my trade. That was of course 2 yrs ago though.

Sure, now you can get less off msrp but way more for your trade.

For example back in March I got 16% off with 0% financing, but I got over $8,000 more for my trade than top dollar was at the time of my order.

The key thing is it can all still work out to get a pretty good deal, big picture. People just need to do their homework and shop around the value of their trade in to get the most out of it possible. Oh and buy from a good dealer like MD that is actually still offering nice discounts.

Ok, I don't care what side you're on, but 33 gallons gets me longer into the "spike" on cheap gas before I have to refuel.
