Using the Alpine nav and miles to empty on the dash I can go 5 hrs between fillups when towing at 60 mph Im not sure why there is an idea that the 6.2 gasser cant pass a gas station?? Most times I only fill up twice a day when towing from 8- 6 mostly continuously except stopping for the occasional pee stop and 1/2hr lunch break, all the 6.2's have 35 gal tank no matter what cab and box configuration at least on the 11-16 M.Y
I don't think a standard 35 gallon tank is right. I tried to buy a 2015 f250 6.2 engine and It had a 26 gallon tank per the window sticker. The dealer told me he could put a 35 gallon tank in for $1200.
Are you SURE you were looking at a 6.2 Gas engine?
The 6.7 DIESEL engine comes with a 26 gallon tank which may have been listed on the sticker
6.2 gas engine IS standard for all lengths as 35 gallon for that year.
I'm positive because I drove the truck . It was a used truck at a ford dealership, so it was probably mislabeled on the window sticker. I did talk to the salesman about it and tried to negotiate a bigger tank in the deal. Amazing
Makes me wonder, if the deal had gone through, wether they would have refunded the money to you when they found their mistake, or just kept quiet?? - MVH1Explorer

We take multiple trips a year to a lake that we love. Getting there takes just over half a tank of fuel. That requires me to get some fuel at some point on the trip up or the trip back to ensure I have sufficient fuel for the trip.
I have a wife and 2 young children, so we can't drive much more than 4 hours without stopping anyways... but on trips to the lake it would be nice to have enough fuel to get there and back without refueling. - shepstoneExplorerAs per specs "Gasoline: 35 gallon (137.0", 141.8", 156.2", 158.0" and 172.4" Wheelbase)"

:S Duuh, SoCal finally put it in real world figures. Where is the beef.
As far as you 6.2 gas jockies and your small tanks. i got an F250. 2012, short box 2WD crew cab and it has a 37 gal tank from the factory? Right or wrong?
35 gallon from factory for gasser Super Duties from 2011 and up to at least 2016. I think 2017s may have 34 gallon tanks for gassers in all cab/bed configurations from what I have read.
With that said, there IS or at least should be a leftover "air pocket" in the tank at 35 gallons to allow for the gas to expand.. So if you filled it up way past the normal click off on the gas nozzle it may be possible to stuff more than 35 gallons in..
HOWEVER, do so at the risk of damage to your vehicles Evap system!! - TrackrigExplorer III recently drove from Anchorage to Idaho with a 130 gal tank in the rear plus my OEM 36 gal tank. Made it all of the way without having to buy more expensive fuel in Canada. Still had to stop for the bathroom, make a sandwich and pump fuel (extra tank is not plumbed in) so it didn't save me time, but it did get me out of the truck to wake up and saved money........
When I got ready to come back up, I filled up the tanks in Idaho because Washington had raised their fuel tax by $.40 per gallon - not raised it to $.40, but by $.40 more. That was a $60 savings. Diesel is cheaper in Alaska than it is in Washington now..........
