I love the toyo'a other than they throw boulders on gravel roads. Got the up fitter switches all wired up to lighting. Bed, rack, bar, strobes. Now I'm playing with idea of wee bit of lift. As the Montana is stretched up from pulling with 350. Sure love how this one rides though. Firm but not crazy

Topic change, did my titan tanks last week, 65gal mid ship, 30 gal in spare tire spot. Had an issue with the rear tank loosening up on my '13 dually, double nutted everything and blue lock tite this time, filled up tanks, reset trip A, after an hour of rough roads the tank was drooping on the drivers side again. Didn't loosen up, just looks like the 30gal of fuel droops the tank, used some ratchet straps, all snug now, phoned titan twice, their tech directly once and sent pics, no reply yet. Fixed for now, will make some support straps soon. Put on a bunch of miles, 65 gal is 245 liters, 30 gal is 113L, 358L total, trip A showed 169.5L used. Filled rear first, took 109L, not too bad, main tank took 62L, total of 171L. Not too shabby considering the in line fuel meters have never been calibrated. I've found actual station pumps are calibrated closer than this, it's usually off less than 1L with a 200-220L fill.

It's really just a design flaw for rough roads, the center disc support on the tank really falls short on the messed up roads here, gotta watch the heaves or you get air time!! The straps are thicker 2,000lbs rated, not crazy snugged but enough to keep the tank from moving around when full. I'm getting some heave nylon straps done with a rubber liner on the inside, size it up, snug it, approve, then loosen, fill inside of liner with silicon to keep out dirt and debris, snug it up and good. Did the same with the skid plate for the 65 gal, its sealed 100% all around. Was tempted to do an in bed tank too lol, but I'm just doing a nice storage box full width, 1 foot deep and wide, so I can still stuff longer items underneath on the bed, my quads will all fit with tail gate closed, will keep spare tire underneath at front of box too, lots of room for 5er hitch still.

Ok... and this isn't something that can normally be displayed?


What do I need to get the dealer to do?

I wish that was legal for me........
I have a pontoon boat that I wish I could tow behind the 5th wheel....
Double trailers are legal......But max length from front of truck to the rear of 2nd trailer is 65 ft. I would be about 84 ft........ I'm not willing to risk a huge ticket.

A trailer has to be built for a double tow. I would never assume you can on any of the trailers.


Frames too weak.

Most every camper with smooth walls seem to suffer some delamination over 5-10 years. It's not the end of the world.
