That is NOT a misprint. I know that does NOT sound possible but it is what the Ford Build and Price web site says.
Where is the 2025 F150 Build it located?

smaller tank is offset by better fuel economy. I can get 620 miles on one full tank fairly easy which is plenty for my bladder system.

if you need payload that much, then you would be better getting F250. That little difference won’t matter.

Yeah, I wouldn't call a 30.6 gallon tank small, especially when you are getting over 20 MPG.

Ho-hum.... just another 723 miles on a single tank without trying to enhance my MPG's..... not sure I would categorize it as "small."

That kind of range is achievable with any F150 with the 36 gallon tank. With the smaller tank I can still get 500+ miles in ideal highway driving.

I think I've seen 700 miles range after a fillup before. I am quite sure as I can pull a pretty consistent 24+. I think my average since getting the truck is over 24 mpg. 30 gal x 24 mpg = 720 miles.

I have zero complaints. I don't drive a ton. I fill up maybe once a month. It might actually be even longer.

Even if I was towing I am not sure that 30 vs 36 would really bother me much.

Default Purchased a 2024 white powerboost black edition today

The vehicle is currently being shipped to the dealership. I am trading my 2019 2.7 Ecoboost and want to basically switch over whatever aftermarket upgrades I can, I have a set of 20X10 Cali off-road Rawkon-19 mm with 35 x12.50 R20 Versatyre MXT's anyone know if this setup will fit a leveled 2024 F150 powerboost w/o trimming or cutting anything?
