The engine paired with your used 2014 Ram 1500 pickup truck is going to be the main determining factor when it comes to the size of your gas tank, with the V-6 engine coming with a 26.0-gallon tank and the V-8 engine having a 32.0-gallon tank.

Rolling up to the gas tank in your used pickup truck, it’s vital that you have a thorough understanding of how much gas it's going to take to fill up your tank. Your Ram’s owner’s manual will have the model’s fuel tank size information listed, but if you’ve misplaced it, you’re in luck!

How big is the gas tank on a 2014 Ram 1500?

The 2014 Ram 1500 pickup truck comes with a larger-than-average fuel tank in order to keep up with its high-powered engines. That being said, the size of your gas tank is actually going to be the main determining factor when it comes to the exact fuel capacity of your gas tank.

The 2014 Ram 1500 comes equipped with one of two engines, depending on the model’s trim package:

3.6-liter V-6 engine (on the Ram 1500 Tradesman, SLT, and Laramie trims)

5.7-liter V-8 engine (on the Ram 1500 Longhorn and Sport trims)

This means that checking the size of your 1500’s engine is as simple as taking a look at the trim badge on the truck’s rear bumper. If your 1500 is paired with a V-6 engine, that means that your gas tank is going to have a fuel capacity of 26.0 gallons. Meanwhile, V-8 1500s like the Longhorn and Sport are going to have a fuel tank capacity of 32.0 gallons.

The fuel efficiency of your 2014 Ram 1500 is going to vary depending on the size of its engine. As all 1500s are paired with the same four-wheel drivetrain and an eight-speed automatic transmission, your engine is going to be the key determining factor when it comes to fuel efficiency. Let’s take a closer look at the fuel efficiency and maximum driving range of the five 2014 Ram 1500 trims based on their powertrain setups:

The 2014 Ram 1500, at any of its trim levels, is a far cry from being the most fuel efficient vehicle on the road. That being said, if you’re trying to conserve gas and save money, check out these tips:

Keep up with maintenance. Letting small problems develop into big problems can, in certain cases, affect the model’s fuel efficiency over time.

Drive carefully. Avoiding harsh acceleration and riding the brake can help to keep your fuel consumption both steady and low.

Avoid idling, especially in cold weather. Idling your Ram’s engine leads to wasting fuel—avoid letting your engine run, even if you’re just trying to warm up your car, if you really want to conserve fuel.
