Question for 33 gal. owners

[Dewey]

Damn, you have a fat pig. That etorque must add a bunch of weight. My 2020 Built to Serve weighs 5700lbs without me in it.

Of courses that was before the new front bumper.

Limited’s are like the pretty fat girl. Built for comfort not speed.

1/4 tank of 33 gallons is ~8 gallons, but we all know the gas guage doent read in exact inrememts, and you will never get 33 gallons into the tank if it gets to E. The truck would barely notice 30-50lbs of static weight. At least not that you would ever be able to measure without going to multiple decimal points. And you weren't only one talking about added weight of a full tank. You just happened to be the last comment that I replied to. So not picking on you specifically.

Oh I’m not feeling picked on at all

Just think how much longer your wheel bearings will last without the extra weight of a quarter tank of gas weighing you down.

I think it's also because I have all the fixings except trailer controller and tow mirrors.
I would guess eTorque is under 200lbs including the battery pack, MFT is likely more

Probably with the ramboxes and MFT.

Not sure how much weight Ramboxes take up. The boxes themselfs are plastic.

It's hard to say. The top of the bed is wider, but the bottom is narrower. Different structure. You would really have to weigh both beds.

My 1500 weights more then 6,000 even without me sitting in it.
33 gallons of gas weighs around 200 give or take a little depending on the temperature...
If I fill up only to a half a tank I can go from 6360 to 6260. It would make no difference

You ordered an fully loaded Rebel. You can forget getting any kind of good mpg, that will get even worse then my Limited. Wrong choice of truck if you were concerned about gas. Maybe cancel and re-order a Bighorn or Tradesman with no features (as those add a bunch of weird way more then a fuel tank).

I'm fully aware of what I ordered. This thread is not your run of the mill MPG whining session. I just wanted to know whether other owners who live in populated areas with gas stations all over the place topped off on every fill up or not. It was more about lugging around 2 months old gas than the price of gas. It's the rational of topping off and barely driving the truck vs. filling half tank as an example, and driving on fresher gas. as for MPG consumption, I couldn't give a rat's a55 about it, or else I'd have a Tesla on order instead of an off-road trim half ton truck, now wouldn't I?

Just fill up when you need gas, and drive it until it needs gas. No need to worry about long the fuel sits in the tank, unless you are talking over a year. Since you still drive it regularly, albeit low miles, I'd be more worried about the oil than the fuel. Without longer drives to get engine up to operating temp and staying there for a while to let the evap system do its job, the oil will have higher contaminants in it. Probably wouldn't hurt to do 3k mile oil changes, or every 6 months, whichever comes first.

Thank you for the input. Appreciated.

should have started a poll

I can't find the weight, but dimensions are pretty close

Man, looking at those pictures, I don't know..... I bet there's a good 7 to 10 pounds extra in there!

Those aren't even dimensions, they're references to the dimensions. Just for instance, W116. Even if it was centimeters, 116 is 45.6", not near the width. I imagine both would have to be the same overall height, width, and length, but structure would make different weight.
