hi, that was my exact thought. buy 4 6gallon plastic gas jug's, strap them in your bed, when you travel. or make a bar set up so they stay in place.
unless, you travel long trip's daily, no gas tank is worth 1g, plus installation.
but that's me.

Yea when i split for a hurricane I run a rope between the tie downs by the tailgate. I run the rope threw the handles of 4 5gallon cans of gas and the handle of a five gallon bucket with a 1 gallon jug of water, a few rolls of toilet paper and a few rags. Nuthin like being prepared.
I want the 30 gal. inbed toolbox tank. If I trade trucks I can keep my tank and put it in my new truck.
The 6"5' bed is already inconveniently small. I wouldn't want to take up that much space with a gas tank. Also sounds like you lose clearance if you get the OEM replacement tank. Those two problems plus the cost pretty much says I'm stuck with what I have for now .

I dont think the tank will be in my budget, but I wouldn't buy it anyway if it hung lower than the stock tank. Every other mfr. has a larger tank on the longbed trucks w/o the clearance problems associated with the low-hanging replacement tanks I've seen for Chevy, etc.
I'm in for the replacement, i live only about 90 miles from Transfer Flow and would be a very first few customer for sure, it would be nice to go over a few days without filling, as it stands now, there are many times I have to fill up everyday, if i'm doing more than driving to work, which just is an inconvenience and as stated by others, gaining the advantage when fuel is cheaper is nice too.
I find that those who don't understand the extra fuel needs, just don't tow anything or drive a Prius instead, for whatever reason, the Tundra is seriously lacking a larger fuel tank by any means, considering the capabilities of this Gas truck, it's got the means to pull with many trucks more capable out there and the fuel tank size limits it's range seriously, yet that's my thought and when i did have my Superduty Diesel, i did have two tanks and carried nearly 100 gals of fuel, so this range just stinks, but buying regular gas is very nice.
Man I would love an under bed 40+ gallon tank, and would spend $1,000 for one. The only thing that will get me is the shipping cost to Alaska! These 20 gallon tanks suck and have sucked for going on 2 years now.

My bed is already wasted on my 5er hitch and the space in front of it is a dead space anyway, and 56 gal. is better than 49. I don't go off road so and underbelly tank would be ok I just want more gas. Besides if you put the tank in center of bed it won't change the side to side weight.
I think I would go for the 46 gal. underbed tank--I've got a canopy which would make the bed-tank a possible problem. It's well worth th $1000.00 for me to have the extra 20 gal. capacity. the 26 gal. stock tank is sadly undersized.

GORILLA I know its not for every one but here my my point of view.
I know its a lot of money, but if you think for a second... how much money do you spend to upgrade for a better tires, or make your truck faster.
Some people love to travel, and I am a part of those people. If they sell bigger gas tank for my sequoia I would definitely buy it. I hate to stop every few hours to fill up, and constantly looking for a gas station when traveling.
As far as getting 5gal canisters - it horrible that I have to park on a side of Highway and add gasoline in small portions. That still takes a lot of time, smells, and many other problems.

The gas can thing is messy, smelly and inconvenient, I don't think I would go that route. My last Pickup had 2 tanks and I could travel 500 miles before I had to start searching for a gas station. I could also go all week without having to stop on the way to or from work for gas. It's nothing mind blowing, just an inconvenience.
I'm sure if I lived in Alaska where it's always a million below zero, it would be a BIG inconvenience
