Default ?36 gallon fuel tank on '15s?

I've heard conflicting information on whether the 36 gal fuel tank is available on the '15 F150. Anyone know for sure? I love the large fuel tank, and i saw a '15 at the dealer and it had a (choke) 23 gal tank. One of things that cinched my decision to buy a ford was the 36 gal fuel tank.

Yes they definitely have it, unfortunately it's an option but a cheap one. I know this because I have the 23 gallon tank. and HATE IT.

Definitely have the 36 gal tank. Have it on mine. That said, even on dead empty, I can only get about 32 gallons in. So must have a beefy reserve.

For me the 36 gallon tank is the only way to go love the convenience especially on the road

Yes, its available as an option for an extra $195. In searching dealer inventory, I can't find one in my area without it and I'm not really sure why Ford didn't make it the standard. ~20MPG on a 23 gallon tank gets you 400miles per tank. That's not terrible but tow anything remotely heavy and your range drops drastically

The big tank was a massive selling point for me.

I drive anywhere from 200-500 miles per day, and my current SUV only has a 21 gallon tank, not to mention with aggressive tires on it I'm only getting arounder 15 mpg! This means I fill up in the morning, and them and gain on my way home most days.

I can't wait to not have to hit the gas station twice in a day!

Beefy it is......I received a Low Gas Warning alert while the truck showed 50 miles to empty.

I second that! 3 tanks I got to where it says 5 or 10 miles to empty and at most I get 32 gallons in it. What gives?
