i just got a 2011 F-150 XLT Supercab with a 5.0 V8 4x4 with off road package and it has 36 gallon tank. Ive had it since monday and already did some off roading and had to help my friend move all day yesterday driving across the city. Im not even at half tank yet! I estimated i could get about 500 miles per tank. The mpg on it is pretty incredible too. If i were you i'd go for the 5.0 not the V6. In my opinion, its not a real truck unless it has a V8.
Very Bold MY Friend.....Even though I am getting the 5.0L, I am still open-minded......

Ah yes. Fair enough. However, the most respected light duty (3/4 and 1 ton) truck engine is the Cummins diesel which is an inline six. I'm sure I'll get some feedback on this comment but, anyone who has any experience with this segment will most likely, some grudgingly, agree!

Real trucks don't come with tiny little 36 gallon tanks either - the smallest I've ever seen on the road was 100 gallons, and most have dual draw, dual return tanks (no stupid switches to flip) with 100 gallon or more capacities per tank (200 gallons + per truck)
And straight 6 engines. Never seen a 8 cylinder engine in a real truck.
