Interesting...weird way to word it. Additional implies it started with some level of gas...couldn't they have just said 5 gallons of gas on delivery? Thanks for clearing that up for me...I have never looked at a build sheet before so makes sense they would not deliver them empty.

If your truck had a 33gal tank then it would definitely show on the sticker. Any of the long bed hemi configs have 26 gal standard. A short bed will have 23 standard and I believe you can specifically opt for a 26 but it may or may not show on your sticker. My long bed (6’4) said it on the sticker. And as some people before me said, apparently all the limiteds come with 26gal tanks. As far as I know, Etorque alone has no influence on tank size. It’s more about bed size.

First off you don't have to type in all caps, i read what you said. Secondly, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but not everything that is on the sticker is an option. Most of the time if you include more options on a build, the items on the standard features list will be shorter, to include room for the options. Some of the time it will include the fuel tank size in the standard feature list, go look at a window sticker on one vehicle and then another, the standard features are not always the same even if they are both 2020 Laramie V8 Crew Cab 4x4s for example. My point is, fuel tank size may be notated on the window sticker even if its not an "option".

Edited
Without counting, I'm guessing the caps were either 23 or 26% Perhaps, if they were 33, this would only be 2 pages. Now if person A had a 23 gallon tank and 3.21 gears and Person B had a 26 gallon tank and 3.92 gears, who would need to stop at the gas station first??? What are the chances they run into Mr fancy pants and his 33 gallon tank filling up at the same time? :)

Well I double checked mine and lo and behold, the 26-gallon tank IS listed under the 5.7 Hemi option, then followed by the 33-gallon tank as a separate option. Judging by the text indentation on the Monroney, the inference is that the 5.7 Hemi option brings with it the 26-gallon tank (which makes me wonder what tank I would've gotten with the Pentastar). Same for the Active Noise Control, which I thought was standard on the Laramie in 2019.

Dusty

Honestly I would say the man with the 3.92 would have to stop first, even with the slightly larger tank. That’s Assuming the 3.92 man is also the kind of person to run a 6 inch lift, some deep dish pizza pans for rims (because that’s all the craze on Instagram), and any other type of drag induced accessories he could find in his step dad’s garage.

The chances of running into a 33 gallon man are slim to none. The 33 gallon man also optioned in just about every package because the forums told him to, thus creating an essentially unreliable monstrosity; the like’s of which the dealer techs has never seen.

Mmmhmm...My ‘19 Laramie showed it too, that’s why I brought it up to begin with.
Been buying tons of cars and trucks for 35 years and never saw a gas tank size listed on any Monroney unless a larger size was an option that was purchased. I wonder if others with a Laramie see the gas tank size on their sticker as standard equipment :unsure: Interesting to say the least.

My 2020 Laramie did not list the 23 gallon tank on the window sticker. But from what I've seen, the information on window stickers is inconsistent at best. Which is why I always advise people to look at their build sheet instead.

So Mike, I see three major configuration differences between yours and my truck: the year, 2019 vs. 2020, I have a Quad Cab, and I do not have the eTorque.

Even if they listed it on the sticker, it would be just as hard to read as the previous replies that already sorted this out 🤣
It's hilarious how so many people assume they're right because "they haven't seen it before". Little bit of research goes a long way.

This didn’t age well. 😂😂
Apparently not. So I will admit I was wrong. This teaches me to make better use of emphatic statements.
