Who is going to travel 500 miles none stop when gas go up it's going to take more money to fill up. Sometimes money you may not have want's the point of a few extra gallons and always hacking on the truck your going to stop sooner or later. You can go good bit of way with the 26 gallon tank I can go a little over a week on a tank of gas 50 miles a day some times more. You can get over 300 miles with the tank the truck has. I mean the truck is not a prius you guys like the idea now cause gas is low right now but if it goes back up you guys will be crying about how much it takes to fill up. which means spending at least over a 100 dollars to fill up
You're right. No one should use the truck as a truck. We should use it like it's a Prius and only drive it to the grocery store. Have you ever heard of someone using a truck to tow?
Anyone that tows knows. Stopping every 160 miles is a PITA and the pickins are slim sometimes. I have to fill up with 1/4 tank left because the next gas station that can fit a 50' rig in it is more than 40 miles down the road. Not sure it's worth $1,000 to me as I only tow 10-15 times a year.
I just checked with a local dealer, and transfer flow doesn't make one for the tundra at this time, but they seemed to think in the next 6 months or so they might have something on the market...nothing on their website either.
just read through the earlier thread and it seems that transfer flow has been working on this for some time, at least since about the fall of 2008. A few thoughts, here:
1. The OE tank is fully useless.
2. A replacement underbed tank is of most use for me, as I am hoping to keep using the bedslide, which wouldnt work with in-bed tanks probably,
3. It is really worth it to shell out 1,000 or so bucks for a bigger tank--the stock tank means filling up every other day which is a huge PITA!!!! What was toyota thinking? I know, there was the talk about GWVR, but Nissan LB crew cab has a 37 gal tank, so what gives?
4. I'm ready to buy from transfer flow as soon as it comes on the market--let's look at the group buy!!
Good news, all: It looks like transferflow is on the verge of producing the larger tanks for the tundra and ready for the market in the next few weeks. Wahooo!!!
Too the guy who doesn't understand why some people want a larger gas tank he doesn't live on the gulf coast. You defintly don't wanna bug out in a prius. You leave town with your guns and plenty of gas. The roads can be dangerous (as law enforcement can't keep up) and gas can be a real problem. To run out of gas or a break down can be a real bad. Many vary liberal people went to the gun show after Katrina to buy guns and ammo and for some reason you couldn't buy a gas can within 300 miles of new orleans including the entire city of houston texas. GO FIGURE!

HAHA, that means no Tundras were going that far to get gas HAHA.

I checked their website, didn't find any news. Where did you hear this from?
Yep--it's not on the website yet--looked myself. I got word from Ben @ the xferflow via email. Not sure when they'll have it on the web, but here's what Ben wrote.... Needlesstosay I wrote back to him and said 'I'm in" given how small the stock tank is. I mentioned we might be interested in a group buy set-up to see if we could save a few bucks and get him enough of a purchase to make the first run of production worthwhile...I'm interested in the 46 gal stock replacement:
We are currently in process of building both options for the Tundra
chassis. We are working on a 30 gallon toolbox that will sit in the bed
of the truck and work in conjunction with you factory 28 gallon tank.
We are also working on a 46 gallon replacement tank that will replace
the stock tank. Both options should be complete in the next few weeks.
I will keep your email so when we have the options available I can
contact you with the pricing details.
Re: Bigger gas tank.
you guys like the idea now cause gas is low right now but if it goes back up you guys will be crying about how much it takes to fill up. which means spending at least over a 100 dollars to fill up
