Adding gas stabilizer to your tank will keep the gas from going stale for up to two years. A vehicle that gets driven less than 500 miles in two years might need to go to a new home LOL.
Tried the new home, offered $9500 (KBB at time) to avoid any family BS. He hasn't driven it (and shouldn't) in months, inspection expired 2 months ago. Used to try and take care of it but it has become an aggravating situation, there is more to the story but not worth the time.
Haha, I totally agree. If you're that close to your payload limit you need a different truck. But that reason was an argument that another member here gave for making sure his truck had a 23 gallon tank. There's an older thread where he talks about that. And I never said it was a good reason, just the only reason I'd heard up to that point. I've said it many times and I'll say it again, these trucks should all come with 33 gallon tanks.
Because some guys think a 33 gallon tank weighs down thier truck so much that they can't pull thier john boat behind it.. They don't understand that they have the option of not filling it up all the way. They believe the only solution is to have a smaller tank.
My "19" Laramie had a 33 gal. tank on it. I liked the range I had on trips, but had to stop and tinkle before it got down to 3/4's of a tank. New Limited has a 26 gal. tank so I will get down to 3/4 of a tank. 7 gal. diff. really is not worth $445 other you get to take more breaks on a trip.
Aren't they plastic?
. My last truck had the 26g tank, it wasn't enough for what I use the truck for. I got the 33g with this truck, I feel it is perfect. If this truck belonged to my wife, she would only want or need a 23g. I say, celebrate the amount of options we have before they are whittled down to nothing!
) When you're eking out 1% or lower efficiencies in order to pass the CAFE standards, which get harder and harder until only a remote-polluter can pass, then you'll say a "standard" fuel tank is 23 gallons (or 26). The extra weight of the 7 or 10 gallon capacity (cut in half for the test) ends up being un-needed ballast.
I'm cracking up that this thread has evolved (or devolved) from the OP's question about the price difference, to people lamenting that there are TOO many choices
If the "problem" people have is too much weight from fuel, don't put so much fuel in it. I don't understand the point in "the gasoline weighs too much" argument.
It’s not the end user, it’s the government. To meet CAFE standards, ALL manufacturers are trying to reduce weight.
When I bought mine, out of all the Rams at the 4 local dealerships, there was a total of 2 quad cab 4wd hemis with the 33 gallon tank.If they were whittled down to only a 33 gallon tank, I would be fine with that!
When I was shopping for the truck I bought 2 months ago, it was super aggravating the number of trucks (new and used) that I found that would have been perfect for me, except that they had a smaller tank.
It is great that we choices for different rear ends, and engines, and etc.. But, I think there is no GOOD reason for them to have anything but a 33 gallon tank.
In the 73K miles I had my '19 with a 33 gallon tank, the most gas I ever put in was 32.2 gallons. I put in 31.something a lot of times. I never ran out. I think there is ROUGHLY 2 gallons of "reserve", after the DTE says 0.
