Yeah see I got the v10 in my work truck and it gets some bad milage so I really don’t wanna be filling up at 180 miles lol I only get like 350-400miles per 35 gallons
Our gas station of choice usually cuts off at $75, but with gas prices going up, I was recently cut off at $100. I used to go to my second gas station of choice to finish my fill up, it’s the same brand gas. I have had it drilled into my head that you fill up at half a tank, but I usually do it between a quarter of a tank to half a tank.
The first time I filled up my truck (that I bought used) I looked underneath during fill to make sure I didn’t have a leak. It was a very welcome surprise to find out I just had a gigantic tank.
This amuses me. I bought used and one of the biggest reasons I picked the specific truck I did was the big tank. For towing across Nevada, Utah, Idaho, etc.
Exact same thing happened to me. Pure confusion and concern when I ticked well over $90 bucks on my first fill up when I bought used (now I don't blink when I spend 100+). My first truck so I didn't really know how to read a window sticker, just knew it was a Lariat with a 5.0 and I wanted it.
I dunno I had different cut offs at different pumps. I don't think it's a card limit some stations I can fill up no problem. Other its 125 pretty consistently
The new prices are unfathomable to me.
2017 Supercab XLT 302a.
3.5 Ecoboost w/ 10 speed
3.55 locking rear
Center console
36 gallon tank
MSRP 46,500
Paid 35,382 out the door.
Now that would be mid 50's at least.
My towing truck is a 22 Ram 3500 diesel. It's got a 50 gallon tank. When I'm not pulling a trailer and babying the pedal, I can go *almost* 1,000 mile on a full tank.
A little over a month ago I bought a 2021 F150 (diesel, but wasn't specifically looking for a diesel) and the puny 26 gallon tank only let's me go ~650 miles when full.
The only con is that it sometimes makes you cry at the gas pump. This truck is a lot more gentle than the last one, though. It's a 2017 Screw Lariat w/ 5.0L V8 and I average 18mpg mixed city/hwy. My last truck, 2012 Screw Lariat w/ 5.0L V8, averaged about 13mpg mixed city/hwy (400 to 450 miles on a full tank).
It uses the same amount to drive of fuel regardless of tank size lol you’d spend the same, just in smaller amounts with a smaller tank.
I tell people that all the time when they’re like “How do you afford to fill it?”
My commute is my commute. I can just make more trips before stopping at the gas station.
The amount of gas stations that restrict pump transactions to $100 is infuriating. It stupid to be required two credit card transactions for a full tank fill. Once I’ve identified a station I’ll avoid at all cost, they don’t deserve my money.
I love my 36 gallon tank. I have learned to more or less trust the "miles till empty" and try to fill up as close to empty as possible.
The Kroger, Fred Meyer's, Safeway, Chevron groups points go towards fuel and the discount has a limit of 35 gallons. This allows me to maximize my savings.
Up to $1.00 off per gallon with a limit of 35 gallons is real money.
Bought a used pickup about 6 months ago, I was looking for the 36 gallon tank but found one I liked for a pretty great price (IMO, at least...) I was a bit bummed to see the window sticker had the 23 gallon tank.
Went to fill it up and put 31 gallons in it :D
Once it hit 19 or 20 gallons, I was thinking to myself "any minute now..."
Same. All the trucks I saw advertised said 23 gallons. Maybe the dealerships are just too lazy to look into it. It was to the point where I was considering just buying one with a 23-gallon tank and installing an aftermarket extended range tank.
I have run mine down to 10 or 15 miles and still only put 30 in the 36 gallon tank. Is there an amount of “reserve” built in and has anyone ever ran it dry?
This just happened to me and my Uncle, with the same truck, has seen the same thing. That’s a crazy amount of “cushion”. Personally I would rather see the actual range estimate than have that amount of cushion.
I did some data collection and analysis, probably too much.
The low on gas light comes on when the truck estimates you have 50 miles until empty (about 0.1 on fuel gauge). At that point it only takes 29 gallons to fill to full, which means you have at least 7 gallons which is arguably 135 more miles (not 50). There’s also a built in “reserve” capacity, so maybe 10-20 more miles, but don’t push it.
Yeah it’s awesome. I hauled my camper 150 miles, drove around trails hunting for two days and then hauled it back and didn’t even need gas until I was headed home from work the next day
Love the 36 Gallon tank in my 19 5.0, didn't know it had it when I first bought it. Only thing that sucks is that the Gen 3 5.0 gets really bad spark knock if you put low Octane gas in it, so 93 Octane is the only way to keep it from happening, so every trip to the gas pump and I'm basically selling a kidney lmao
I just downsize from a ram 2500 diesel with 50 gallon tank to a 2023 f150 2.7 with 26 gallon tank. I always feel like I’m low on fuel but now I can leave the gas pump running and go in the store for a drink. I’m no longer afraid of a $200 fuel up!!
I have the same tank… in Texas, I go to the grocery store Brookeshire‘s and they have great fuel savings, I usually get $1.10 off every time I fill up, so I’m usually filling up at around two dollars a gallon and it only cost me around $75-$80 to fill up the tank
EVs are definitely cheaper to drive if you have access to the charging infrastructure. However, having a 700-mile range on a single fuel up is nice. Especially when I go camping, hauling/towing, or on road trips to visit family in AZ. It's nice to know the "No services next 200 miles" signs don't necessarily apply to me.
Even though it’ll come out the same if the price of gas stays the same but, if you don’t like sticker shock, never let it get to the half a tank mark.
Personally, I only use Exxon 93 here in Atlanta and I always fill up before I get to the half a tank mark.
I ran it almost to empty one time and I’ll never do that again.
Are you sitting down? It's a 5.0L V8 (2017). I can relate to your comment, though. Every time I looked on the forums or Fuelly, I thought people were just fudging their numbers. It seemed that my 2002 w/ the 5.4L Triton and my 2012 w/ the 5.0L Coyote were always on the low end of the mpg numbers being reported. This is the first time I've had a truck where I have the good fortune to be accused of fudging with the numbers.
Love my 36 gallon tank. I have a short drive to work and fill up every six weeks or so. We travel 250 miles or so multiple times a summer and getting to our destination with well over half a tank left is very choice.
I travel long distances and go from atlantic Canada to Ontario regularly. The 36 gallon tank I can fill up on the New Brunswick side of the New Brunswick/Quebec border and my next fill up would be in Ontario. Now the point of this story is the bigger tank allows me to bypass Quebec's high gas prices. It lets me have more choice where to fill up and I have more range to play with when trip planning.
Of course its anecdotal but the last gas station in New Brunswick is always approximately $0.10 - $0.15 per litre (40 to 60 cents a gallon ish) cheaper than Quebec, same with the gas station on the Ontario side of the Ontario/Quebec border. Whenever I've travelled.
Cons...waiting to fill in extreme temperatures sucks.
Possibly weight? Might effect fuel economy, not sure how much of a difference it makes compared to the smaller fuel tank option, only ever had the large fuel tank option.
It's all psychological, really. If I'm not going to be diligent enough to fill up more often, I have to operate under the premise of "buy once, cry once."
We travel a lot in places where stops for fuel can be far apart. There are no cons to the large tank. When I bought my 23 someone talked me into the large tank. I thank them every time I see them 😃
There are no cons, sure it costs more to fill it up, but you’re using the same amount of gas. If you drive long distances or tell anything, the 36 is the way to go
When I bought my current truck, I was actually signing the paperwork on another truck and then I suddenly realized there was an option for 36 gallon tank so I said no I don’t want this truck anymore, find me a similar one with a 36
You have to pick the downhill routes and coast. Also, I should add, I'm running the stock tire size with a moderately aggressive all-terrain tread pattern.
I have the 36 in my 2021. Can’t get more than 28 gallons in it when empty. I get 16.1 mpg with 3.5 eco boost and drive like a little old lady.
Dealership has looked at it multiple times and said it’s normal…. So I fill up and get 450 miles to a tank, people I know with the exact same truck can get 34+ gallons in on empty and get almost 700 miles to tank… and yes. It’s been verified it has the right tank.
Nobody’s mentioning not parking on a hill, facing downward with less than a quarter tank of gas. It can’t pick up enough fuel and doesn’t start. Other than that it’s great. Almost 700 miles a tank.
Nothing is sillier than complaining about how much it costs to fill a large gas tank vs a small one. Obviously it doesn't actually cost more per mile, and you don't have to go to the gas station as often. There are zero cons.
I like mine, I can go about 2 weeks (if driving normal) without filling up. But when I had my old job I filled up about once a week (drove atleast 50 miles a day on average)
In 2019, I was like, gas price isn't so bad. But now I'm like meh my half tank is like most people's full tank. So it's like kinda a full tank. So I'm gaslighting myself literally and figuratively.
Pros : more driving
Cons: more monies
In all seriousness I love mine, about 600 miles to the tank. What motor do you have? 733mi must be nice! And what fuel do you run?
This is with the V8. As for fuel, I use 91 octane. Not sure if the higher octane helps any, especially here in Denver at higher elevation and summer/winter blends. Also, it is on stock tires (all-terrain).
Damn man that’s not bad, I have a 2020 5.0 I haven’t gotten over that 600 mark running 93. I’m leveled with beefier tires too, sure that doesn’t help 😂
36 gal tank here. Local Marathon cuts at $100. Love having the bigger tank though because it’s less gas station stops. It’s been 4 weeks since I filled up. (I Have a second vehicle that catches half of my miles). The fill up
cost sucks, but a person doesn’t have to fill it every time.
My only disappointment with the 36 gal tank is that when I see miles to empty from others, I get jealous. You are getting 733mi on a fillup and I'm getting 540 (with a 3.5 stock)...sob...LOL
Shame Ford didn’t squeeze a 36 into the PowerBoost.
I like the hybrid truck but don’t love the 28 gallon tank on a long road trip with a loaded trailer.
Pro's, more fuel so less fill ups if you don't have a heavy foot.
Cons, more fuel so it sucks to fill it up. I don't ever let mine get below half so fillups don't suck as bad when gas is $4+ a gallon.
I love my large fuel tank. My local grocery store offers fuel discounts based on how much you spend in store (up to 30 gallons). In order to maximize the savings, I always use the discount on my truck vs my wife's 18 gallon tank. $1 gallon fuel discount=$30 savings.
The only con is getting one of those slow pumps and having to wait 15 minutes to fill up!
Fun story: my 14 f150 had the 36g tank. I bought a 16 f250 for towing and it only had a 26g tank. I couldn't do the 350 mile range, so I upgraded to a 56g tank. Now at a 1/4 tank I'm still looking at 250+ miles before I need to stop.
What it displays there is a running average of city/highway. When I look at the history, there are some higher and some lower. For example, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park two weeks ago and my average for that trip was 12ish (high elevation mountain driving with a naturally aspirated v8). Also, if I'm really on the pedal, 1 physical mile of travel may take 2 miles of range. There's definitely a tolerance to that 733. I think it's more like 675 to 700.
I just went on Ford's website. I couldn't find the option on the Build & Price tool. I asked the chatbot and it told me, "it's definitely an option (for an XL) that must be specified with the dealership." If you're on the used market, like me, be aware that a lot of dealerships will automatically list them as 23-gallon tanks. I didn't find out until I test drove it that it had a 36-gallon tank. I thought I was looking at a 23-gallon configuration until I looked at the undercarriage at the dealership.
Well, I'll play devil's advocate, here's 5 cons off the top of my head:
1. The weight of 36 gallons of gasoline reduces mpg and eats into my payload capacity.
2. Sometimes, when prices are high, I tear up at the pump and look like a sissy-man in front of the gas station attendant and patrons.
3. If there was such a thing, I wouldn't be allowed into any 23-gallon clubs/gangs.
4. If ever I had to drop the tank and it was full, 36 gallons would be heavier than 23 gallons of gasoline.
5. On road trips, I have less excuses to stop for hot cheetos and instead have to feign a weak bladder or diarrhea.
Love mine 36 gallon tank for the long trips knowing less stops but normal driving around town I don’t let it run below half. I can push it 2 weeks on a half.
Amazingly, I spend less money on gas driving my '23 Raptor, even with premium fuel and the 37 package, than in my '22 4Runner with 33s lol. My 4Runner, 33s, RTT, camping set up gets like 15-16 on the highway on a good day...Whereas the Raptor gets 19-20 mpg. That difference is more than enough to make up for the gas cost.
On a 700 mile trip, I pay $25 less on gas with my Raptor than with my 4Runner and there's a 50 cent difference per gallon between regular vs. premium where I live. Crazy math....
I like the 36. It feels weird though. Like if I “only” have 350 miles to empty, I start looking for a gas station….
I need to develop that habit. I usually fill up when it gets down to a quarter.
When the gas station cuts at 100$ smh. I’m like uh bruh tryna give you more money
Real shit, The gas station nearby with the cheapest gas cuts off at $50, have to run my car damn near run my card 3-4 times.
Press the assistance button and ask for higher auth amount *cries into 50 gallon diesel tank*
Can you go in person to pre authorize a higher amount? Less annoying than re running it 3/4 times
Super annoying I got a truck w a 35 gallon tank and I run it all the way down every time
Where do yall guys live where yalls pumps cut off at a certain amount? I've never heard of that before 🤯
Dude I know. I hate having to run my card twice. Usually costs me $120-140 to fill it up. That's why I usually top it off when it hits half a tank.
Yeah see I got the v10 in my work truck and it gets some bad milage so I really don’t wanna be filling up at 180 miles lol I only get like 350-400miles per 35 gallons
Same here, but with a 5.4. If i can squeeze out 400 miles on 36 gal then i'm above average.
Our gas station of choice usually cuts off at $75, but with gas prices going up, I was recently cut off at $100. I used to go to my second gas station of choice to finish my fill up, it’s the same brand gas. I have had it drilled into my head that you fill up at half a tank, but I usually do it between a quarter of a tank to half a tank.
Yeah what a pita
I generally don’t let it get lower than half. Filling at 18 gallons feels tolerable.
Me filling up when I’m about 1/18th of the tank
I like to put 25-40 at a time lmao. I have the money to fill up but for some reason I can’t stand doing it.
Fudge, my max range is 350 if I’m lucky
Not realizing you bought a 36 gallon tank and filling up a 36 gallon tank. I love it
The first time I filled up my truck (that I bought used) I looked underneath during fill to make sure I didn’t have a leak. It was a very welcome surprise to find out I just had a gigantic tank.
LMAO me too
Ok good, it wasn’t just me!
This amuses me. I bought used and one of the biggest reasons I picked the specific truck I did was the big tank. For towing across Nevada, Utah, Idaho, etc.
Exact same thing happened to me. Pure confusion and concern when I ticked well over $90 bucks on my first fill up when I bought used (now I don't blink when I spend 100+). My first truck so I didn't really know how to read a window sticker, just knew it was a Lariat with a 5.0 and I wanted it.
What a shocking realization when I first got gas in my truck but now I love it
The worst part is the pump shutting you off at $125 and never being able to completely fill the tank
Have to use a WEX fuel card to get passed the limits! It’s been a game changer.
Don't run it below 1/4 and you should be fine. (Exept California)
I fill up every 2 weeks when I get paid. I have a 36 gallon tank I'm using the whole 36 gallons lol
A gas station near me used to have a completely insane *$50* pre-authorization limit. I had to swipe twice even to fill up my old Subaru Outback.
We're still at $100 with Sheetz here in VA. -_-
I think that cutoff limit comes from the card you use. Different cards have better limits.
I dunno I had different cut offs at different pumps. I don't think it's a card limit some stations I can fill up no problem. Other its 125 pretty consistently
lol I’ve paid close to $120 for half a tank of gas with the same tank in Canada. That’s a steal.
120 beaverdollars is equal to 90 burgerbucks.
*Eaglebacks
lol. Beaverdollars. lol
I’d kill for a $120 fill in mine. (Cries in Canadian)
33 Gallon tank. filled up at Sams last week for 77$ in Oklahoma.
Yea but you had to be in Oklahoma. So…. 😅
Cries in coyote
Awoooo
I hate the pumps that shut you off at $150 and make you do it twice.
I was just about dry and it was 210$ Canadian to fill mine 😭
$250.92 Canadian to fill mine from dead empty with 91 octane at today’s price.
Here in Colorado, I've encountered some at shut off after $100 or $120
Paid 176 yesterday to fill my 136L tank. Pain.
It’s about $100 to fill it up from empty over here in Texas
This is CO, I paid $3.99/gallon for 91 octane.
May I ask what engine/trim you have and why 91? I’ve always put 87 in the 3.5 ecoboost but the Raptor R takes 93
Wasting money on 91
Lucky you
No cons. Wouldn't buy another one without it. Owned my 2017 since new and it's my single favorite feature.
Now we know why Ford has what should be a $125 option that they charge around $500 for.
It's wild. They should legit all come with this tank.
Ope, now that you said that, I just checked it. Base prices went up significantly, but they do all come with the 36 gallon tank now (2024 models).
The new prices are unfathomable to me. 2017 Supercab XLT 302a. 3.5 Ecoboost w/ 10 speed 3.55 locking rear Center console 36 gallon tank MSRP 46,500 Paid 35,382 out the door. Now that would be mid 50's at least.
True, but you do also have seven years of inflation in there. But I hear ya, pricing has gone up.
In 2017 that was a huge price for a truck. Per year it really hasn’t changed much. They are crazy expensive though…
[удалено]
Do you ever let them ride in the cab?
[удалено]
It’s a no-wake boat ride. See?
It's a good feeling when your range at a half tank is still more than some other trucks have with a whole tank.
My half tank range is about the same as my buddies full tank range with his Hemi and 98L tank.
My towing truck is a 22 Ram 3500 diesel. It's got a 50 gallon tank. When I'm not pulling a trailer and babying the pedal, I can go *almost* 1,000 mile on a full tank. A little over a month ago I bought a 2021 F150 (diesel, but wasn't specifically looking for a diesel) and the puny 26 gallon tank only let's me go ~650 miles when full.
I hear some weight loss on that 3.0L will yield some impressive fuel economy.
Sometimes I park in shady neighborhoods and things go missing... 🤷♂️
There are no cons. The fuel costs what it costs. You just fill up less.
It's an eye opener for sure, but there are zero cons regarding a large tank.
The only con is that it sometimes makes you cry at the gas pump. This truck is a lot more gentle than the last one, though. It's a 2017 Screw Lariat w/ 5.0L V8 and I average 18mpg mixed city/hwy. My last truck, 2012 Screw Lariat w/ 5.0L V8, averaged about 13mpg mixed city/hwy (400 to 450 miles on a full tank).
Just don't fill it up.
It uses the same amount to drive of fuel regardless of tank size lol you’d spend the same, just in smaller amounts with a smaller tank. I tell people that all the time when they’re like “How do you afford to fill it?” My commute is my commute. I can just make more trips before stopping at the gas station.
I would take 2 if I could.
How’s that a con? You still use the same amount of fuel.
pros: 500 mile range cons: people behind you waiting to fill up die from old age
LOL, yea, try it with a gaggle of teenagers in the truck on a hot summer day. Oh how I do enjoy watching them squirm.
The amount of gas stations that restrict pump transactions to $100 is infuriating. It stupid to be required two credit card transactions for a full tank fill. Once I’ve identified a station I’ll avoid at all cost, they don’t deserve my money.
Where are you and what stations do NOT have that limit?
Indiana, Costco is always the winner.
Ahhh. We don't have such wonderful stores within 75 miles of home.
Costco. The only place I fill up my truck unless I am on a road trip. Then it's usually at truck stops. Never hit a limit yet.
I love my 36 gallon tank. I have learned to more or less trust the "miles till empty" and try to fill up as close to empty as possible.

My last vehicle, a Honda Element, barely made 240 miles to the tank. I love the 36 gallon tank.
The most “to empty” based off my mpg average was 776 on my ‘18 lariat. I was hoping to hit 800 one day lol.
I have run mine down to 10 or 15 miles and still only put 30 in the 36 gallon tank. Is there an amount of “reserve” built in and has anyone ever ran it dry?

Yeah it’s awesome. I hauled my camper 150 miles, drove around trails hunting for two days and then hauled it back and didn’t even need gas until I was headed home from work the next day
Damn my 23 xlt crew cab 3.5 with the 36 averages 19.3 mpg and my max range has never been more than like 640 when I fill up
You need to spend more time in eco and less time in boost. I was surprised that the V6 EB didn't get much better gas mileage than the V8.
So should I not drive in normal mode?
What's it cost to get the swap in a 36? I'd love to have a big ol tank
Whats your truck configuration? Up in Canada it's pretty rare to not have the 36gal tank unless you have 2WD.
2020 150 2.7L 4x4 (fx4)
Love the 36 Gallon tank in my 19 5.0, didn't know it had it when I first bought it. Only thing that sucks is that the Gen 3 5.0 gets really bad spark knock if you put low Octane gas in it, so 93 Octane is the only way to keep it from happening, so every trip to the gas pump and I'm basically selling a kidney lmao
I just downsize from a ram 2500 diesel with 50 gallon tank to a 2023 f150 2.7 with 26 gallon tank. I always feel like I’m low on fuel but now I can leave the gas pump running and go in the store for a drink. I’m no longer afraid of a $200 fuel up!!
Man I’m always afraid of worst case scenarios 😭 I never leave my pump unattended
I have the same tank… in Texas, I go to the grocery store Brookeshire‘s and they have great fuel savings, I usually get $1.10 off every time I fill up, so I’m usually filling up at around two dollars a gallon and it only cost me around $75-$80 to fill up the tank

I know that’s not a 5.0 because my truck could NEVER go that far on 36 gallons 😭
Are you sitting down? It's a 5.0L V8 (2017). I can relate to your comment, though. Every time I looked on the forums or Fuelly, I thought people were just fudging their numbers.

Might effect fuel economy, not sure how much of a difference it makes compared to the smaller fuel tank option, only ever had the large fuel tank option.
Why is the pump a con, you spend the same amount over the same number of miles less the added weight which isn’t that much $$.
It's all psychological, really. If I'm not going to be diligent enough to fill up more often, I have to operate under the premise of "buy once, cry once."
I love the 36 gallon. Best way to go IMO.
That’s like 175 bucks where I am in Canada. Yuck.
But that being said. It’s a truck and I love it regardless of fuel prices.
Pros: more time between fill ups. Cons: fuck me
EVs could never
nice
Would love 4$ a gallon, where I live in quebec it's basically 6.80 a gallon
Wow. $3 here in Kentucky.
That would last me over a month. I fill my 23 gallon tank about every three weeks
36 gal on 733 to E gives you about 20.3mpg. First off, how? 2.7 eco? Also, your long term is 18.4. I'm either dumb or confused, likely both
I get 21.5 mpg in my 15' screw 5.0 36 gal tank as well
Ah yeah I forget about the 5.0. I get 28 in my Bullitt on the highway, so in an F150 21ish seems right
It's a 2017 with the 5.0L. As for the average, I recently reset it and did a lot of mountain driving on a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park.
685 max range! I love it!
30 gallons once is the same price as 15 gallons twice.....
We travel a lot in places where stops for fuel can be far apart. There are no cons to the large tank. When I bought my 23 someone talked me into the large tank. I thank them every time I see them 😃
What year is yours? I have a 17 and when I fill up the 36g tank it shows a little over 600 miles to empty. Where is my extra 100 miles 😂
It's also a '17. I'm probably getting closer to 670 to 700. It definitely starts high but adjusts as I drive.
Love mine and haven't found a con yet. Definite pro is hauling a side by side 8 hours and not having to stop for gas.
There are no cons, sure it costs more to fill it up, but you’re using the same amount of gas. If you drive long distances or tell anything, the 36 is the way to go When I bought my current truck, I was actually signing the paperwork on another truck and then I suddenly realized there was an option for 36 gallon tank so I said no I don’t want this truck anymore, find me a similar one with a 36
They have cute girls over there

You have to pick the downhill routes and coast. Also, I should add, I'm running the stock tire size with a moderately aggressive all-terrain tread pattern.
Great freaking range. 1350kms like 840 miles if you are light footed.
I have the 36 in my 2021. Can’t get more than 28 gallons in it when empty. I get 16.1 mpg with 3.5 eco boost and drive like a little old lady. Dealership has looked at it multiple times and said it’s normal…. So I fill up and get 450 miles to a tank, people I know with the exact same truck can get 34+ gallons in on empty and get almost 700 miles to tank… and yes. It’s been verified it has the right tank.
The big tank is the bomb for E85.
Pro- more gas Con- more money to fill Simple.
I also fill my 36gallon at around a qtr tank. 100$ usually gets me close to full. I love having enough gas for a whole week or 2 of work...It's nice!
Nobody’s mentioning not parking on a hill, facing downward with less than a quarter tank of gas. It can’t pick up enough fuel and doesn’t start. Other than that it’s great. Almost 700 miles a tank.
Dang I only get 16 mpg. How are you guys getting 18?! 2018 3.5 w/ 36 gal tank and I baby the throttle. Full tank is just under 600 miles.
My last fill was $190CAD
Nothing is sillier than complaining about how much it costs to fill a large gas tank vs a small one. Obviously it doesn't actually cost more per mile, and you don't have to go to the gas station as often. There are zero cons.
There are zero cons. My KR has it. I love it.
it’s 120 to fill my mustangs 15 gallon tank in california bruh ur literally living luxury as fuck 🤣
I like mine, I can go about 2 weeks (if driving normal) without filling up. But when I had my old job I filled up about once a week (drove atleast 50 miles a day on average)
I don’t see any cons.. you’re spending the same amount either way. Less time at the gas convenience store = less chances to go inside and buy BS.
Damn, I've got a 24 gallon tank on my truck and I get the same range.
In 2019, I was like, gas price isn't so bad. But now I'm like meh my half tank is like most people's full tank. So it's like kinda a full tank. So I'm gaslighting myself literally and figuratively.
Not really a con because you’re going to buy that gas anyway whether it’s every week with the small tank or every other week with the large tank
Pros : more driving Cons: more monies In all seriousness I love mine, about 600 miles to the tank. What motor do you have? 733mi must be nice! And what fuel do you run?
This is with the V8. As for fuel, I use 91 octane. Not sure if the higher octane helps any, especially here in Denver at higher elevation and summer/winter blends. Also, it is on stock tires (all-terrain).
Damn man that’s not bad, I have a 2020 5.0 I haven’t gotten over that 600 mark running 93. I’m leveled with beefier tires too, sure that doesn’t help 😂
That's pretty cheap. Where you located.
This is in Colorado.
36 gal tank here. Local Marathon cuts at $100. Love having the bigger tank though because it’s less gas station stops. It’s been 4 weeks since I filled up. (I Have a second vehicle that catches half of my miles). The fill up cost sucks, but a person doesn’t have to fill it every time.
Fill up at Costco, the limit takes the 36 gallon tank on, but I’m in Canada and it gets you pumping in $150 or more.
Easily one of my favorite things about my truck
My only disappointment with the 36 gal tank is that when I see miles to empty from others, I get jealous. You are getting 733mi on a fillup and I'm getting 540 (with a 3.5 stock)...sob...LOL
That's surprising, but I've been seeing a lot of 3.5 EB owners commenting the same.
Just got one last week and I must say, I enjoy it. I drove about 200 miles on ~1/4 tank which would've been almost a full tank in my Escape.
I love it. I go out of town frequently on the weekends and can get there, drive around all weekend and get home on one tank.
Cries in Canadian… at the highest I was 286 for a fullll tank. But it lasted me 2-3 weeks. Miss that truck!
My 120$ fill-up haha...
Going from this tank back to the small one I feel like I fill up every other day now haha
Shame Ford didn’t squeeze a 36 into the PowerBoost. I like the hybrid truck but don’t love the 28 gallon tank on a long road trip with a loaded trailer.
Thats not bad tho
$2.99 for me in Georgia so it’s not too bad. What engine you have getting 18.6mpg out of curiosity?
5.0L V8
Lot better than mine, 17mpg at best and I only drive state highway and interstate. Wonder why.
My truck was below a 1/4. Put 28 gallons in.
Pro's, more fuel so less fill ups if you don't have a heavy foot. Cons, more fuel so it sucks to fill it up. I don't ever let mine get below half so fillups don't suck as bad when gas is $4+ a gallon.
I thought my 88 got bad gas mileage but it’s about the same.
Sometimes you have to do two transactions for a fill up.
worth it though, I fill up my truck with 93+ from 0 to hero, can get pricey but hey, need to hear them horses
136 litre too. Get like 1,100 kn to a tank in summer
Top mine off every two weeks on payday no matter where the gauge is. Let it go one time and that $125 fill up hurt.
No cons
I love my large fuel tank. My local grocery store offers fuel discounts based on how much you spend in store (up to 30 gallons). In order to maximize the savings, I always use the discount on my truck vs my wife's 18 gallon tank. $1 gallon fuel discount=$30 savings.
The only con is getting one of those slow pumps and having to wait 15 minutes to fill up! Fun story: my 14 f150 had the 36g tank. I bought a 16 f250 for towing and it only had a 26g tank. I couldn't do the 350 mile range, so I upgraded to a 56g tank. Now at a 1/4 tank I'm still looking at 250+ miles before I need to stop.
I really regret not doing my research on '24 changes. Standard 3.55 gears on the 3.5L and standard 36gal tank...
18.6 x 36=669.6 miles
What it displays there is a running average of city/highway. When I look at the history, there are some higher and some lower. For example, we went to Rocky Mountain National Park two weeks ago and my average for that trip was 12ish (high elevation mountain driving with a naturally aspirated v8). Also, if I'm really on the pedal, 1 physical mile of travel may take 2 miles of range. There's definitely a tolerance to that 733. I think it's more like 675 to 700.
Is there a certain option package you need to get for the bigger tank? I'm having a hard time finding the option to add it on their website.
I just went on Ford's website. I couldn't find the option on the Build & Price tool. I asked the chatbot and it told me, "it's definitely an option (for an XL) that must be specified with the dealership." If you're on the used market, like me, be aware that a lot of dealerships will automatically list them as 23-gallon tanks. I didn't find out until I test drove it that it had a 36-gallon tank. I thought I was looking at a 23-gallon configuration until I looked at the undercarriage at the dealership.
Can anyone think of a single con?
Well, I'll play devil's advocate, here's 5 cons off the top of my head: 1. The weight of 36 gallons of gasoline reduces mpg and eats into my payload capacity. 2. Sometimes, when prices are high, I tear up at the pump and look like a sissy-man in front of the gas station attendant and patrons. 3. If there was such a thing, I wouldn't be allowed into any 23-gallon clubs/gangs. 4. If ever I had to drop the tank and it was full, 36 gallons would be heavier than 23 gallons of gasoline. 5. On road trips, I have less excuses to stop for hot cheetos and instead have to feign a weak bladder or diarrhea.
Not long ago in Vancouver it was triple that to fill up an F-150. 136 litres at $2.5
I had a 36 gallon tank on my 2015 Ford F150. I didn't get one on my 2023 that is the one of many options I wish I had.
Lmao just did a 5 hour road trip. Felt like it took me 20 minutes for a full refuel but I still got tons of gas
Love mine 36 gallon tank for the long trips knowing less stops but normal driving around town I don’t let it run below half. I can push it 2 weeks on a half.
Amazingly, I spend less money on gas driving my '23 Raptor, even with premium fuel and the 37 package, than in my '22 4Runner with 33s lol. My 4Runner, 33s, RTT, camping set up gets like 15-16 on the highway on a good day...Whereas the Raptor gets 19-20 mpg. That difference is more than enough to make up for the gas cost. On a 700 mile trip, I pay $25 less on gas with my Raptor than with my 4Runner and there's a 50 cent difference per gallon between regular vs. premium where I live. Crazy math....
I get 16 with an 18 gallon tank
I go to Costco to get my fuel. Its so much cheaper.
That’s honestly really good mileage. Is this with stop and go traffic?
I would say 60% highway, 40% city. Not so much stop and go, though.
Ah ok. Makes a lot more sense then. Still really good mileage overall from the 5.0
$60 twice a month or $120 once a month. It’s all the same. Though the larger tank gives you flexibility to get gas at the cheapest place.
