Be careful. I think some of the cab/bed lengths have smaller gas tanks. Can't go far on a sub 30 gal tank?
What he said. My factory tank is 26 gallons. Talk about range anxiety. I solved that problem with a 30 gallon auxiliary tank where the spare tire used to be.
Correct on the 1500 GM - 26 Gal, but the 2500 GM has a 36 gal gas tank ... so, quite a difference in range... and has the Dbl Cab Sht Bed.
It's the extended/double cab, short bed model that has 26 gallons. I have the 2500HD and have 26 gallons. If I had the crew cab or 8' bed it would have a 36 gallon tank.
Edit: It looks like a new 2500HD in my configuration does have the 36 gallon tank. Not sure what year that changed.
I believe it changed in 2015 ... new frame etc. So, more room for fuel tank ... plus lots of complaints about short range w 26 gal tank.
My 2003 had a 26 gal, but we bought a 2015 2500HD new, and it has 36 gal tank ... we always breathe easier on the road now. In the past, we carried two additional five gal gas tanks just in case. Now, we don't.
