How big is the gas tank on a 2005 Ford Freestar?
The gas tank on a 2005 Ford Freestar holds about 25 gallons (roughly 95 liters).
For context, the Freestar was Ford's family minivan introduced to replace the Windstar, available with a pair of V6 engines and seating for up to seven. The fuel-tank capacity is the same across the 2005 lineup and is designed to provide a practical driving range between fill-ups under typical family-use conditions.
Tank capacity and practical range
With a nominal 25-gallon tank, the Freestar offers a solid balance between refueling frequency and interior space. The exact range depends on engine choice and driving style, but in mixed driving you can expect hundreds of miles per tank. Owners often report typical ranges in the 400–500 mile ballpark per full tank, depending on highway versus city driving and payload.
Engine options and fuel economy context
The 2005 Freestar could be equipped with a 3.9-liter V6 or a 4.2-liter V6. Fuel economy varies by engine and transmission, but both engines share the same basic fuel-tank capacity, so the practical range difference comes primarily from mpg rather than tank size.
Notes for buyers and owners
Always check your specific vehicle's fuel gauge accuracy and reserve warning. Some owners report slight variations due to manufacturing tolerances, fuel filler neck design, or aftermarket modifications, but the factory-capacity figure remains 25 gallons from official Ford documentation for 2005 Freestar models.
Summary
The 2005 Ford Freestar's fuel-tank capacity is 25 gallons (approximately 95 liters), a figure that applies across trim levels and engine options for that year. This size supports a practical driving range that suits family trips and daily commuting, with the actual range depending on engine choice and driving conditions.
