Trucks in general are really light in the rear. with the tank in the stock location a portion of the fuel weight is carried by the front tires. Moving it behind the rear axle puts all of the fuel weight on the rear tires. Living where there is snow it becomes very obvious how light trucks are in the rear. Sand bags or other forms of weight are required for decent road manners in the winter.
