Over the years, I've tried a bunch of different compressors... My current way, has proven to be the best, I just have a smaller Honda inverter generator, and an older Sanborn electric compressor to run off it. IF you need more capacity, plumb in a bigger tank and start it ahead of time, or prefill it from home before you leave, with your shop compressor.
Reasonably cheep to get in to, and having on board electric is GREAT!! The Honda generator get's used for MANY things, so it's not just to run a compressor.

Re the 2 previous posts, I really like them, but I really want my next compressor stored in a weatherproof box and I dont want to climb up in the bed if possible.
The DeWalt is awesome, but I already had a unit like that and it would likely be too large to put in a doghouse, but I like the electric start. It's almost "too much" compressor, but I love that thing, but $3000!!!
The second idea is a good one too, but the honda portable gen is $1,100 and the compressor is ~$500 and both together would take up considerable room. But I DO like the idea of AC current on board.
The Rol Air 4000 looks like a good compromise at $800 because Im as cheap as it gets.....
I need to keep thinking about this, but I like your ideas. Some of you have waaaayyyy too much other peoples money to spend!

My Honda genset was $900 and that's about what they sell for on common sales, as for the compressor, I got mine used, so I have no idea what a new compressor like it would cost.
A decent pancake comp. can be bought cheaper than 800, and for as much as you would use it, it would last years and years. Both can be made to fit under the bed in tool boxes...
On board electric, is absolutely the bomb!! Just wait until you have it, to see how much you will use it.

I still have my DeWalt/Honda gas twin tank for nail guns and I'm not going back to that. I'd have to get an electric compressor and the generator. Here I thought the generator wouldnt have the capacity to run a full size electric compressor and trip the breaker. I think it comes down to cost and ability to store in one of my tool boxes. Truck wont be done for a little while, so I cant really tell what will fit in them with 100% confidence.
Truck itself comes with an outlet, but only for small stuff.
Almost all my tools are Dewalt Max 60v stuff, so little remaining use for AC electric. I even charge the batteries with a mobile charger

Seems all the new trucks come with an AC outlet now, for small stuff. I use the one in mine for small stuff and it's pretty handy.

Hay dude these are supposed to be a very serious compressor. It's up to you to see if it's worth the money for your needs. It may be one of those things that you can move to your next new truck for 20 years.

Wow, Rusty Iron! That thing is really impressive. So small for $2,000!!! It looks like a toy compared to a comparably priced big gas engine compressor

For 30 years I have a small Emglo compressor in my service truck and it is piped to front, side and rear and easy to take with me on the job... back when I was doing underlayment and such.
The Emglo when used on the truck is powered from my 2000 Watt Statpower Invertor... which also gives me power for my Milwaukee power tools and my small Skillsaw and my cable sewer machine...
Price of Invertors has fallen dramatically in 30 years... I paid $1200 in 1990 and now I think I have seen same in the $200 price range.
