Does anyone know why the 33gal fuel tank option is $445? You're already getting 26gal. I think it's a bit high for only 7gals more. I wouldn't mind maybe a $100 more.
imo, it is because the parts are over 1K when done after you get the truckDoes anyone know why the 33gal fuel tank option is $445? You're already getting 26gal. I think it's a bit high for only 7gals more. I wouldn't mind maybe a $100 more.
you aren't paying the difference in size, your paying for a complete new tank. $445 for a 33 gallon tank is peanuts. your paying easily over $2000 or more if you do it later on.What's the difference in cost to just make the tank size standard at 33 gal?
What I'm saying is...you're already getting a fuel tank. Why not just make 1 size, 33gallon, like alot of people option for, and call it a day. Why offer 2 tanks with only a 7 gal size difference?

First off, there are three tank sizes, not just two. Why do they offer two tanks with only a 3 gallon size difference? It is definitely worth the $445 to upgrade from the 23 gallon tank to the 33 gallon tank. And I'd opt for the 33 gallon tank in any case. But there are people who want to eek out as much payload capacity as possible, so they opt for a truck with the 23 gallon tank. That's really the only reason I can see for not just equipping all of them with the 33 gallon tank. But perhaps there are other reasons I haven't thought of.What I'm saying is...you're already getting a fuel tank.

Is the 33 gallon tank even available in the Crew Cab with the 5'7" bed? Not alot of room under there.

Thank you...Yes, 33 gallon tank is an option with crew cab and 5'7" bed.
I meant other reasons someone might not want a 33 gallon tank, not why they offered three sizes.Because if they offer you something as an option, they want to be able to profit off it. That's basically the reason imo.
So people that buy their first Ram off the lot get angry when they realize the tank is so small they will wish they got another truck and trade it in sooner to get a bigger tank?I meant other reasons someone might not want a 33 gallon tank, not why they offered three sizes.
You can...but you won't like the space it takes upSo people that buy their first Ram off the lot get angry when they realize the tank is so small they will wish they got another truck and trade it in sooner to get a bigger tank?
Better question is why can't I get a 50-55 gallon on my 1500
I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT, at times it does not get much use so the gas can go stale. I have put it to use just to use up the gas and replace with fresh fuel. Father in law is 95 years old with a 2011 Honda fit with 9,000 miles. I would take it to run out the gas and replace with fresh fuel. I can see down the "road" that I may not be on the road so much.First off, there are three tank sizes, not just two. Why do they offer two tanks with only a 3 gallon size difference?
