I think most of us are just busting on you. You should look up in your owners manual and see what the payload capacity is on that truck. If what you want to use for a tank and what you need to use for a tank to reduce the number of trips, maybe a utility trailer would work better or even better yet, if you were to find an old rusty boat trailer that would be ideal. We had one before buying a newer trailer that would have worked the nutz. ****...Although I dont need to gather sap like that but hey, its a good idea!
