fuel tank size

[Court]

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and since I am a long time Dodge owner, I am slightly out of place here.
I have ordered a 2017 Raptor though so I guess I have to say I WAS a Dodge guy. I just couldn't order a truck owned by a foreign company and I was impressed that Ford didn't take any bail out money so I have moved on and will now sell my '02 2500 cummins powered 4x4 and the '39 and '41 and '96 and 2001 Rams will become distant memories.
Anyway, I had a question about the new Raptor. Does anyone know if a SCAB Raptor can be ordered with anything other than a 23 gallon fuel tank?
I know the SCREW comes with a 36 gallon but the option wasn't available on the SCAB. I checked out the 2017 F150s and both the SCAB and the SCREW can be ordered with the 36 gallon tank but of course there were no Raptors to check and the dealer wasn't sure.
Good luck with this site and I will be checking in from time to time.

Welcome to the mayhem!!!

I don't believe you can get anything from the factory other than what is offered......

Court,
The first gen Raptors were 36 gallons for the screws only; the scab had the smaller tank. If the 36 is an option on the F 150 scabs then it should fit the scab Raptors too.
(if anything the Raptor specific frame should have more room between the rails than the standard F 150).

Not an option so doubt you can. What's odd is the GEN1 Scabs had a 26 gallon tank and the GEN2 is now 23. Only option I can see is a DIY project by swapping tank with something larger if there is room and then adjusting the computer with the size change. Probably got to get a larger skid plate too. Personally I would just spend the money and get a bed cage and carry 2 fivers with you. There are some conversions where you put an auxiliary tank in the front of the bed.

The reason the normal F150 supercab can have a 36 gallon tank is because the wheel base is 145" with a 6.5 foot bed. The raptor supercab has a 5.5ft bed and a 134" wheel base, so I believe a 36 gallon tank won't fit.

Hello All;
I appreciate the warm welcome.
Still wondering/hoping about the 23 gallon tank on the SCABs. I can't imagine that Ford would put such a small tank on a vehicle that is intended for areas which don't have corner gas stations but time will tell.
Thanks for all the input.
Good luck all,
Court
