Finding ulsd and def in Mexico can be challenging. Keeping modern diesels running in US with good quality diesel is hard enough. Pre emissions 2006 or earlier work better down there.
A 30 or 40 gallon auxillary tank in the bed and a case of def could help get between ulsd stations.

DMoney thanks for chiming in too. 85 percent gives us the comfort to handle steep grades or high temps. Plus we keep vehicles for at least 8 to 10 years and staying under the absolute max limits extends the life of the vehicle. Until you get into commercial trucks like a chassis cab 1 ton or...

Maine Line Overland has set up flatbed trays for 4 wheel campers. 4WC Fleet flatbed isn't much wider than the JT at...
