Ford calls it a 44 gallon tank, but if you fill up the neck to the top, you might be able to sqeeze an extra couple of gallons in it. Just be carefull to drive it some after you fill it to the top of the neck, in case the cold fuel expands and leaks out of the tank.

Guess space & placement is the major player in tank size.

When I get to the point where I'm running tires that will no longer fit in the spare location, I wonder if I could add an Excursion tank to my SD? It would be nice to have one gravity flow into the other...82 gallons!!!
