How big is the fuel tank on the new Ford Ranger?
The fuel-tank capacity varies by market and engine; in the United States it’s about 18 gallons (roughly 68 liters), while many global versions use a larger 80-liter tank (about 21 gallons). Exact capacity depends on trim, drivetrain, and regional specifications.
Regional variations
The following outlines the most common capacities observed in current Ranger configurations by market.
- United States and Canada: 18.0 gallons (68 L), typical for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost with 10-speed automatic pairing.
- International markets (Australia, Europe, Asia, Latin America): 80 liters (≈21.1 gallons) for most trims, with occasional minor differences by market or engine option.
In brief, the U.S.-spec Ranger generally carries a smaller tank, while many international models are equipped with a larger 80 L tank to support longer driving ranges in diverse conditions. Always verify the exact figure for your specific vehicle via the window sticker or the official Ford spec sheet.
Why the difference?
The Ranger’s fuel capacity is influenced by packaging, drivetrain choices, and regional regulatory requirements. This means the same model line can ship with notably different tank sizes depending on where it’s sold and which engine or transmission is installed.
Additional considerations
Beyond tank size, potential owners should consider fuel efficiency, payload capacity, and intended use. For long trips or frequent towing, the larger 80 L tank found on many international Rangers can translate into longer ranges between fills, while the US-spec variant prioritizes a balance suited to American driving patterns and road types.
Summary
In the current Ford Ranger lineup, fuel-tank capacity is not uniform across markets. The United States typically sees about 18 gallons (68 L), whereas many international versions use an 80-liter (roughly 21 gallons) tank. For the exact figure on a specific vehicle, check the window sticker or consult a Ford dealer.
