It's time to start organizing and we need to understand how many other owners are upset about this. I'm happy to start a spreadsheet and start assembling data. Who wants me to add them to the list? My ultimate goal is to have Ford replace our puny fuel tanks with the size they advertised.

You're on the list. I'm going to start collecting names from the other enthusiasts sites as well.

I just poked my head under the truck and it's definitely a plastic tank. And there's a lot of empty space in front of it. Ford could definitely have taken advantage of the space.

The bottom line here fellas is that when I ordered the truck, the specs said 37.5 gallon tanks. Now that we have taken delivery, there is a distinction between 156 and 158 inch wheel bases. That little detail was not available when I ordered and I find that deceptive. I love this truck but I hate having to fill the tank so often.
