How many Litres does it take to fill a Ford Ranger?

In most markets, the Ford Ranger’s fuel tank capacity is either 68 litres or 80 litres; your exact number depends on the model year and market. The short answer is: expect about 68 L on US-spec trucks and around 80 L for most global variants.


To understand this better, we explain the typical capacities by key markets and how they vary across generations, with notes on exceptions and how to verify your specific vehicle’s spec.


Tank capacities by market and generation


Below are the typical tank sizes you’re likely to encounter on newer Ranger models, with a focus on common configurations. Exact capacity can differ by year, cab/chassis, and trim level.


United States market


For U.S.-spec Rangers, the official spec lists a fuel tank capacity of about 68 litres (18.0 gallons).



  • 68 litres (18.0 gallons)


Conclusion: US-market Rangers commonly use a 68 L tank, giving a practical range on shorter trips but a smaller overall fuel reserve compared with larger international tanks.


Global markets


In most other markets (Australia, Europe, much of Asia), the Ranger uses an 80-litre tank (about 21.1 gallons).



  • 80 litres (21.1 gallons)


Conclusion: Global Rangers typically feature an 80 L tank, aligning with longer-range needs and remote driving conditions in some regions.


Note: Some older generations or special editions may have different sizes, typically ranging roughly from 60 to 75 litres depending on configuration. Always check the official spec for your exact year and trim.


Why the numbers vary


The Ranger has been produced across multiple generations for different markets, with variations in tank size driven by engine choice, regulatory requirements, and typical driving distances. These differences explain why one Ranger might require 68 litres to fill while another needs 80 litres.


Summary


Across current models, you should expect to fill roughly 68 to 80 litres when refilling a Ford Ranger. The precise figure depends on the market and generation: especially 68 L for US-spec trucks and 80 L for most global variants. Always verify your vehicle’s exact tank capacity from the owner's manual or the official Ford specification sheet for your exact year and trim.

The Raptor model's tank can be slightly smaller at around 76.5 liters.
 

  • Standard Models: Approximately 68 to 80 liters, depending on the specific engine and year. 
  • Next-Gen Ranger (2.0L Diesel, Non-Raptor): 80 liters. 
  • Next-Gen Ranger Raptor (2.0L Diesel): 76.5 liters.

The oil capacity for a 2019 Ford Ranger with a 2.3L engine is 6.2 quarts (5.9 liters) with a filter change. Some sources, like the owner's manual for later model years, may list a slightly different capacity, but 6.2 quarts is the most consistently cited amount for the 2019 model. 

  • Capacity: 6.2 quarts (5.9 liters) with oil filter change 
  • Oil Viscosity: 5W-30 is recommended for most conditions 
  • Important: Always check the dipstick after filling and adjust as needed to ensure the correct level. 



How much is it to fill up a Ford Ranger?


The cost to fill a Ford Ranger varies depending on the fuel price and the vehicle's specific fuel tank size, but a full tank can cost between approximately $54 and $138 USD. Using a 2025 Ranger's 18.5-gallon (70-liter) tank as an example, filling up at a price of around $3$ 3$3 per gallon would cost about $55.50$ 55.50$55.50. However, with higher prices or a different model's larger tank, the cost could be much higher. 
Estimated costs by location

  • Detroit, USA: At a price of $3$ 3$3 per gallon and an 18-gallon tank, a fill-up costs around $\$54. 
  • Toronto, Canada: At a price of $1.42$ 1.42$1.42 Canadian per liter and an 18.5-gallon (70-liter) tank, a fill-up costs around $96$ 96$96 Canadian. 
  • United Kingdom: With a 70-liter (18.5-gallon) tank, filling up can cost approximately $138 USD (£109.20). 

How to calculate your cost
  1. Find your tank size: Check your vehicle's owner's manual or specifications for the exact fuel tank capacity in gallons or liters. 
  2. Determine the current fuel price: Find the price per gallon or liter at your local gas station.
  3. Multiply: Multiply the tank size by the fuel price to get the estimated total cost. 

Example Calculation: 
  • Tank size: 18.5 gallons
  • Fuel price: $4.50$ 4.50$4.50 per gallon
  • Cost: 18.5×$4.50=$83.2518.5 cross $ 4.50 equals $ 83.2518.5×$4.50=$83.25
