How many litres to fill a Ford Ranger?
The Ford Ranger’s fuel-tank capacity varies by generation, engine choice, and market. In most post-2012 global models, a full tank is about 80 litres (roughly 21 gallons). In some markets, particularly North America, tanks are commonly around 68–70 litres (18–19 gallons).
Exact capacity depends on model year, engine option, and regional specifications. For precision on your vehicle, consult the owner’s manual, the placard on the driver's door jamb, or Ford’s official specifications for your exact model and year.
What influences tank size?
The Ranger has spanned multiple generations with varying engines and trim levels. Changes in chassis, drivetrain, and optional equipment can lead to small differences in the reported capacity.
Capacity by market and generation
Because tank size varies by generation and market, the figures below reflect typical full-tank capacities seen across common Ranger configurations.
- Global/global-market post-2012 and newer Rangers: approximately 80 litres (about 21 US gallons).
- North American-market Rangers (certain years/trims): approximately 68–70 litres (18–19 US gallons).
- Other markets with different configurations or optional tanks: roughly 75–82 litres depending on options and fuel system.
For exact specification, refer to the official Ford brochure for your model year or the sticker inside the driver's door jamb.
How to confirm your exact capacity
To verify the precise fuel-tank capacity for your Ranger, use these steps: check the door jamb placard; consult the owner's manual; look up your VIN-based spec sheet on Ford’s site or contact a Ford dealer. These sources account for regional variations and optional equipment.
Practical tips for refueling
When topping up a Ranger, avoid overfilling past the first two click stops on many modern systems, and be mindful of the gauge’s accuracy near empty or full. If you’re planning extended trips or off-road use, know the usable range based on your actual fill plus reserve.
Summary
Overall, plan on roughly 80 litres as the baseline full-tank capacity for most Ford Ranger models, with regional variations typically placing capacity in the 68–82 litre range. Always verify the exact figure for your specific model year and market to ensure accurate planning.
