A lot of reasons.
1: you are using the same amount of gas regardless of your tank size.
2: you can fill up where/when the gas is cheaper, and can go twice as far before you're freezing your balls off (at least here in this season) refilling again.
3: with #2 above, if you fill up at a station where gas is cheaper by 40 cents a gallon, that will save you $16.00 per refill on a 40 gallon tank.
4: when you have a big a$$ trailer, you don't want to be pulling through some of these inconvenient gas stations where you can hardly get past the pump and then you have to wait for someone to move their car before you can proceed.
5: if you travel north on some of the remote roads I travel on, you won't have to take four 5-gallon jugs of fuel in the bed of your truck in order to get home.
I want to get 600 miles out of a tank of fuel. But I'd settle for 500 miles. That would require a 50 gallon tank when towing -- ok maybe I could live with 400 miles. But I'm quite unhappy with no more than 250 miles when towing!!
