How many gallons of gas does a Ford hold?
There isn't a single gallon figure for Ford vehicles; capacity varies by model and configuration, but most passenger Ford cars hold roughly 12–16 gallons and larger SUVs and trucks typically require 20–30+ gallons.
Typical capacity ranges by Ford model category
To help readers gauge what to expect across Ford’s lineup, here are broad capacity bands that cover common current and recent models. Exact numbers can differ by year, trim, and optional equipment.
- Small cars and hatchbacks (for example, compact models): approximately 12–14 gallons.
- Sedans and compact crossovers: approximately 15–16 gallons.
- Mid-size SUVs and crossovers: approximately 20–28 gallons.
- Full-size SUVs and heavier pickups: approximately 23–36 gallons.
These ranges illustrate typical capacities across popular Ford lines, but the precise tank size for any given vehicle should be confirmed from official specifications for the exact model year and trim.
How to find the exact capacity for your Ford
To determine the precise fuel capacity of your specific Ford, rely on official documentation and reliable sources. The exact number is listed in model-spec sheets for the year and trim, and can be verified through multiple channels.
- Check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or the specifications page inside the manual for fuel capacity.
- Review the original window sticker (Monroney label) on new vehicles, which lists fuel capacity.
- Visit Ford’s official site or your vehicle’s configuration page (often tied to VIN) for exact specifications.
- Call a Ford dealership’s parts or service department and provide your VIN to obtain the precise figure.
With the exact fuel capacity in hand, you can estimate driving range more accurately and plan refueling stops accordingly.
Summary
Ford’s fuel tank sizes vary widely by model and configuration, with small cars typically around 12–16 gallons and larger SUVs and trucks generally in the 20–30+ gallon range. For a precise number, consult the model-year-specific specifications, the owner’s manual, or a Ford dealer.
