For trucks with the stock bed on them it won't work, but almost every truck adapted with a flatbed or a box body that I used to see had the battery relocated to the outside, under the loading bay, often enabling the fitment of a larger-capacity battery.

Now that it's warmer I'm seeing 19mpg.
Only mods that seems like they might effect mpgs are 30x9.5 tires, back window protector and still running with the fan removed.
When it gets about 90f I'm going to need that fan, got a little hot in town in busy traffic on the two 85f days so far that I drove the truck.
