Figuring most cars hold maybe 30 gallons of fuel, you would need to stop for fuel may 6 to 15 times to make the distance. The truck could run the distance on one fuel fill-up. That would give you more time to relax between dring times.

The extra weight would not be an issue for a moving vehicle that much.
