Ford has been installing 26 gallon fuel tanks in Short bed trucks since the Superduty came out in 99. Apparently not enough folks have ever compalined over the years for the engineers to make a change.
With 13 years of history, Nobody should be surprised at what they get. Either buy a longbed or plan on adding a supplemental tank.

I do believe my 2010 had a 30 gallon tank. I miss those extra four gallons.

Regular cab, SuperCab, and CrewCab trucks with 8ft beds had 38 gallon tanks.
For 2012 SuperCab and CrewCab trucks with an 8ft bed get 37.5 gallon tanks.
Regular cab trucks with an 8ft bed, SuperCab and CrewCab trucks with a 6.75ft bed get a 26 gallon tank.
The exception is gas trucks, all 2012 gas trucks get a 35 gallon tank regardless of wheelbase.
Personally, I don't know why they have so many different tank sizes. For pickups they've got 26, 35, and 37.5. For chassis cabs they've got 28, 40, and 68 (dual tanks).
If it was me, I would have just used a 35 gallon tank for everything, then double it up in the heavy chassis cabs for 70 gallons.....but, I'm sure Ford engineers didn't find that feasible for one reason or another.
