Thank you both for your responses to my request. I appreciate the insight, info, background too.  I’m still looking for the right truck.  I did take my F150 into the shop and did a major service.  Basically, I have a new front end.  If I still buy, my daughter will get this one for Montana driving.  I’m not convinced that I want the Crewmax Cab now.  There is plenty of room in the Double Cab and the box is longer.  I was sure that having the bigger doors and more rear seat room was necessary, but now I’m second guessing that position.  Add to that, I drop the price by $3-5K too.

it also is rated for just a little more MPG with the longer box and shorter cab

I talked to a guy at Camping World a couple weeks back that replaced the factory tank with a 40+ gal tank.  It is just a little longer and a tiny bit deeper, but a steel tank with a reinforced skid plate.  He said it makes a world of difference when out hunting.
