How many gallon gas tanks does a Ford Expedition have?

The standard Ford Expedition fuel tank holds 28 gallons. Some extended-length versions offer a larger tank, typically around 32–33 gallons depending on the model year and configuration.


Current-generation Expedition (2018–present)


The following figures reflect the factory configuration for the current generation. If your vehicle has a different trim or an aftermarket modification, the capacity may vary.



  • Standard Expedition (non-EL): 28 gallons (approximately 106 liters)


In this generation, 28 gallons is the typical fuel-tank size for the regular-length Expedition.


Expedition EL (extended-length models)


The extended-length versions use a larger fuel tank to provide more driving range. The exact capacity can vary by year and trim, but it is commonly around 32–33 gallons (approximately 121–125 liters).



  • Expedition EL: about 32–33 gallons (approximately 121–125 liters), depending on model year


Expedition EL models generally offer a noticeably larger tank than the standard version, contributing to longer-range capability between fills.


Older generations and notes


Earlier Expeditions (prior to the modern EL designation) typically followed the standard 28-gallon configuration, though there were some year-to-year variations. Always check the exact specification for your specific model year in the owner's manual or Ford’s official specification sheets.


Summary


Most Ford Expeditions in current production carry a 28-gallon fuel tank. If you own or are researching an Expedition EL or older models, expect a larger tank—around 32–33 gallons for the extended-length versions—depending on the year. For precise figures, consult the vehicle’s documentation or Ford’s official specs for that year.

How many miles can a Ford Expedition go on a full tank?


A Ford Expedition can go between approximately 400 and 690 miles on a full tank, depending on the model, fuel efficiency, and driving conditions. The specific range depends heavily on factors like city vs. highway driving, engine size, and whether it's a standard or Max model. 
Estimated range by model

  • Expedition Platinum: Can reach up to 510.4 miles, based on an EPA-estimated 22 MPG highway. 
  • Expedition Platinum Max: With its larger fuel tank, the range can be extended up to 611.6 miles. 
  • Expedition Timberline: Can drive up to 440.8 miles on the highway. 
  • Standard Expedition: A range of about 480 miles is possible on highway cruising with an estimated 21 MPG on a 23.2-gallon tank. 

Factors that affect range
  • Driving conditions: Highway driving generally results in better gas mileage and a longer range compared to city driving. 
  • Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and braking will decrease fuel efficiency. 
  • Engine and model: Different engine options and configurations (like the larger Expedition Max) have different fuel tank sizes and EPA ratings. 
  • Vehicle load: Carrying extra weight can impact fuel efficiency and reduce the range. 



Do trucks have 30 gallon tanks?


The average fuel tank size for trucks ranges from 20 to 40 gallons.



How much gas does a Ford Expedition hold?


A standard Ford Expedition holds about 23.2 to 23.6 gallons of gas, while the larger Expedition MAX model has a 27.8-gallon fuel tank. The specific capacity can vary slightly by model year and trim. 

  • Standard Expedition: Approximately 23.2 gallons or 23.6 gallons.
  • Expedition MAX: Approximately 27.8 gallons.



How big is a Ford Expedition gas tank?


The Ford Expedition's gas tank size varies by model: the standard Expedition has a fuel tank of about 23.2 gallons, while the extended-wheelbase Expedition MAX has a larger 27.8 to 28.3-gallon tank. For example, a standard 2024 Expedition has a 23.2-gallon tank, while a 2024 Expedition MAX has a 27.8-gallon tank. 

  • Standard Expedition: Around 23.2 gallons
  • Expedition MAX: Around 27.8 gallons
