Size of fuel tank
The build sheet on my truck says it's got a 26 gallon tank. But I'm still working on running out my first tank and the display shows that I've burned 27 gallons and the needle is on 1/4 tank mark. What's the deal with that? Is the display inaccurate or was there an optional tank size?

Thanks guys. The dealership filled the tank up for me as part of the deal so I have not put any gas into the truck myself yet. The truck does have the heavy duty trailering package with the integrated brake controller on the dash so maybe it does have the 36 gallon tank. I guess it's going to take a lot of money to fill this thing up.

I believe I have the 3.55 rear. Not sure about the 7200b GVWR. I have the standard tow package. Not the max tow package.

My build sheet lists the "heavy duty trailering" package. And I do have 3.55 gears. Were the 3.55s not standard? I can't imagine a numerically lower ratio in a full size truck.

Park that 1/4 tank left on a 36 gallon on an incline and it might not start....pick up in rear. Trust me on this... Also never got more than 33 in it. Miles to empty and gauge accurate, the gallons used on trip meter, not always right.

For the most part...
Trucks with 18" wheels have 3:31
Trucks with 20" wheels have 3:55
Max Tows have 3:73
