Larger gas tanks for 2019 Expeditions?

If you have the HUGE tank and always drive with it full (vs almost empty) .... How much a reduction in gas mileage is that?

Well, assuming a gallon of gas weighs about 6lbs, you're looking at about 140-150lbs more weight when the tank is full as opposed to empty. In other words, same sort of mileage reduction you would have with an extra passenger, ie, not much.

Is it possible to put the 36 gallon tank on a 2019 expedition xlt? My f150 has the 36 gallon and I’d love to put a bigger tank on my wife’s expedition.

I ran almost 700 miles on one tank in my 18 Max tow pack. I can't imagine needing more fuel than that!

I don't even get 250 miles / tank towing my boat. Believe me, a larger tank would be an enormous improvement.

I get 7-8 MPG’s pulling my 24’ boat from SLC to Mead. I have the Max, but the extra 6 gallons the 150 has made it get half way with a little to spare. Now it’s on fumes. My old Raptor would only get 6 MPG’s going to the lake. So it could be worse.

Towing.

this right here. When I’m towing my boat, depending on speed and terrain I’m getting anywhere between 8-11 mpg. It’s a 24’ boat and approx 6500# loaded with fuel and “stuff”

Could be, but my previous Yukon had a 32 gallon tank and did about .5 MPG better, so I go up around 300 miles per fill up. That's an extra stop on my normal vacation trip...and it puts me right on the DC beltway when it happens.

Still wouldn't go back to my previous vehicle, but there is always room for improvement.

I tow with my Diesel. It only has a 24 gallon tank, but it gets 15MPG towing, so it still goes 350 miles. I've gotta pee by then! lol
