    If you're really worried about weight you can run smaller fuel tanks too. I run bulk so tare weight is kinda critical. When I ordered my truck the dealer wanted to max out the fuel capacity but I said nope we are sticking with 100 gallon tanks at the most.

    Rush Peterbilt of Tulsa. They don’t sell gliders just new emissions trucks. I got mine with the seat plate that moves seat back into sleeper for leg room.
