How big is the gas tank on a 2015 Ram 1500?

Arguably the flagship vehicle from Ram’s catalog, the 1500 is a tough, sturdy machine that can go where you need it to go. It has an impressive selection of available powertrains, a surprisingly smooth ride quality, and some handy tech features.

The 2015 Ram 1500 has multiple engine options—a standard 3.6-liter V6, a brawnier 5.7-liter V8, and an optional 3.0-liter diesel V6. Across all trim levels and engine sizes, though, the fuel capacity remains the same: 26 gallons.

How to check your 2015 Ram 1500’s gas tank size

You could always take our word for it, but then again, there are multiple ways to figure out your gas tank size yourself if you're more of a “hands-on” type of person.

Measure the gas tank

If you’re math-oriented, you can use a calculator and measuring tape to figure out your gas tank size. You’ll need to multiply the width, length, and height of your tank and divide the result by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon).

Consult your owner’s manual

If you don’t like math or can’t find your measuring tape, you can check your owner’s manual to figure out the exact fuel capacity. Try checking the index for relevant terms like “fuel capacity” or “gas tank.”

Drive till you see the “E”, then fill it up

For the daredevils out there, you can determine your gas tank size by driving until the “E” or low fuel light turns on and then fill it up with gas. You probably shouldn’t try this method in the middle of nowhere, and it won’t give you the most exact measurement, but you’ll get a good idea of how far you can get on a single tank.

How to save on fuel costs in a 2015 Ram 1500

Equipped with the standard V6 engine, the 2015 Ram 1500 has a fuel economy of 20 combined mpg.

That’s not bad for a truck, but it could be better. Take a look at these tips for saving even more gas and money with your 1500:

Keep it in good shape. This might go without saying, but keeping your car in tip-top shape through scheduled maintenance is a good way to maintain a strong fuel economy.

Drive carefully and steadily. Everyone feels the lead creep into their foot on the road now and again but resisting the urge to “give it some gas” will save you money in the long term. Keep steady pressure on the gas pedal and avoid sudden bursts of acceleration.

Refrain from idling the car engine, particularly in cold weather. Regardless of what you might have heard, idling the engine does, in fact, consume a lot of gas. Instead of letting your car just run, you can drive for a few minutes on cold mornings to heat up your car.

How to optimize your 1500’s insurance coverage

Ideally, now that you know your fuel capacity, you won’t find yourself running out of gas anytime soon. Still, you’ll have to make sure your truck is protected by good car insurance coverage.
