Electric Air Compressor

Wasn't sure where to put this, so here it goes.

I'm looking for an electric air compressor, mainly for my F350 tires. Will use it for other things, but I want to make sure it can at least be used to fill my tires (80psi). On my dakota, I used a bike tire pump to fill them (35psi), but these are much larger and can no longer do that. I can't find a free place for air, so I would rather just get an electric compressor if possible.

Any suggestions on good ones? No real budget if it's quality. Thanks!

if you have the space to put it, get a 220 volt oil compressor with at least a 40 gallon tank. because once you have it you will start using it.
the oil-less units are very loud..

No place for that. Apt building in the city. Barely have enough room to park.

than i would consider one of the onboard air systems offered by viair. i have dual 480 compressors with 12 gallon capacity in my 02 and can run the 1/2 impact gun and take all 4 tires off and put them back on with no problems.

Alright, I will check them out. How about a pressure gauge?

I have a cheapy...it does not work as good on huge tires.

i keep one of those cheap digital tire gauges in each truck. i use the cheap ones so it is no big deal if someone decides to "borrow" it and "forgets" to put it back.
they are accurate enough, all 4 of them are within 2 psi.
