So I just picked up a 2015 F150 and am getting conflicting info on the interwebs about my options, axle ratio and such. I'll attach a picture of the door sticker and maybe someone can tell me what the hell I just bought!
I'm a Ford guy, work rig is a 2017 F-450 V10. Just sold my 2006 F-350 DRW 6.0, before that a 2002 F250 7.3, before that a 1997 F-250 5.4 (light duty).
We just downsized from a 4k truck camper to a 21' TT and also have a light 20' aluminum boat, so an F-150 is gonna get it done and drives WAY nicer than a Super Duty.
Truck 2015 4X4 5.0 XLT with 60k with all the options I was interested in. Flowmaster exhaust (a tiny bit too loud, sounds good though) a level (but still a little rake), ridiculous wheels and tires i'm trying to like, wife loves 'em, Husky floor mats, backup camera, tinted front windows, bucket seats, Ford spray in bedliner, down hill assist, just basically super clean runs and drives super nice, like it a lot, price was good for around here (Mid $20's). I'll drive it about 4k miles a year, plan on keeping it a while.
Curious if I have the big fuel tank? I think I do, still 3/4 tank and runnin around a lot. Axle ratio? Not sure. Anything useful anyone can add I would appreciate it. I know it's a canuck truck, was from Vancouver area just north of me, so not a salty mid west or oil rig I do know. Also, XTR package, just some chrome handles and to hooks I think, looks decent for this granndpa, not too much chrome on the truck.

Congrats on the new to you F150......looks good.
As far as your tank capacity, just multiply your current MPG‘s by what you said you have remaining which is 3/4 of a tank.
It won’t be 100% accurate but you’ll get an idea on if you have the 36 gallon tank or the smaller one.
You can probably get a VIN decode to figure out what the rear ratio is. Another way is to just run 60 MPH in high gear and calculate what the ratio is from the RPMs.
When you fill up the tank at the gas station, the 36 gallon tank will give you a mileage to empty around 700 miles. The standard tank will be closer to 450 mile.
Thanks for the responses so far. 3.73 electronic locking diff?? Not what I see often from the little research I have done on newer F150's. I imagine it's great for towing, which is what i'll be doing most of the time besides beer runs. I have tow mirrors also, which I LOVE and are the same as on my 2017 F450, great mirrors. I didn't see tow mirrors on many F150's I looked at, if any. Is it possible I have some sort of tow package that's not standard?
The tow mirrors are a golden nugget
and hard to find. They are a stand-alone option in the catalog and not tied to any package, including the various tow packages.

Great looking truck. Congrats!
Thanks. Yeah stoked about the mirrors, gonna be nice when towing, huge upgrade to me.
This vehicle has a May 21st, 2015 build date with a warranty start date (or in-service date) of December 21st, 2015. It is interesting that this vehicle was optioned originally with LT275/65R18 tires, hence why the tire pressures indicated on the door tag are 39psi as opposed to 35psi for standard 'P' rated tires. As for your fuel tank size, HVBoM lists Ford part number KL3Z-9002-C as the correct fuel tank your truck is equipped with, which from my reading is a 36 gallon capacity. You may want to verify that information with your local dealership parts department.

Thanks for getting me that info! Yeah, i’m 36 gallons for sure, great news. Love this purchase more and more.
Those of you who desire to purchase the towing mirrors from Ford, the part numbers are FL3Z-17683-AC for the driver side, and FL3Z-17682-AC for the passenger side. Not sure how much you guys will like the price though.
Ordered this when I first got it, just got it today. Didn’t know I had the FX4 package. Can’t believe the Xtr gets the sticker instead! I paid just under half of MSRP, not bad from a big dealer with safety inspection and warranty. I guess this price is canuck though, so a little higher i guess.
