Default Upgrading the Gas Tank

Hello, I have someone looking at a new 2016 F150 XLT regular cab truck with an 8'ft bed. Wheelbase is 141" inches. The truck has a 23 gallon gas tank but he would like to swap it out with the 36 gallon tank. My service and parts department does not know if this is possible so this is why I am reaching out to the forum. Has anyone done this? Does anyone have a list of parts needed? Does anyone know what it cost to do? Help appreciated, thank you!

See attachment, this is one we have on our lot. Don't have the mentioned caribou one, it is being traded to us from another dealer.

They've existed for decades and there is no shortage of them on the road via fleet vehicles.



Anyway, I think someone else on here recently made a thread about changing the tank. Might be for the 12th gen though.

You can go to any Ford dealer and special order one if they don't have any
