6.7 Fuel Capacities
Anybody else upset that the Ford web site does not have the correct information for fuel capacities? I bought an F-250 CC thinking I had a 37.5 gal tank and it is only 26. I'm pissed. I needed the range. I would have bought a different truck had I known the truth.

Long bed would have given you 37 gal. Short beds have been in the 26 gal. range since the early 2,000's to my knowledge. You didn't do your home work. The window sticker would have also listed the size fuel tank.

Yup. I have the 65 gal Titan Tank but mine is the long bed. You can get the 50 gal tank for the short bed. I love getting 700 miles out of a tank. Makes my commute to work easier. (Houston-Morgan City, LA. 300 miles each way). Only downside to upgrading is ponying up the cash because the Titans aren't cheap!

But the Titan 50 gallon tank for the short bed trucks is one of the best mods. Even if it is $1,200. If you put on the miles it pays for itself.

You must be towing something both ways! I get about 850 miles out of the 50 gallon Titan tank! And over 500 miles when towing 13,000 pounds.

I think the short bed holds 10 gallons in reality. I Plan on stopping every other town for fuel.

If Ford was smart enough to offer a few key options......they would sell 10% more trucks.

After reading the article on Ford Trucks in Fortune Magazine, I think they could care less really. They are making a 40% larger profit on King Ranch and Platinums. My 70K+ truck just started making a rattle noise like it fell off the Grand Canyon, and still has stereo control issues that I had on my 2011. It's sad. The difference between American quality and European is significant. There is no attention to detail here.
