What size is a 2019 Ram 1500 gas tank?

I’m in the market for a new truck and I just saw a great deal for a used 2019 Ram 1500. How big is the gas tank on the 1500? I have a long commute to work and want something that won’t force me to go to the gas station every day.

Understandably, you want a truck that stays on the road and not at the pump. The 2019
Dodge Ram 1500
is a great truck, and even better for you is that it comes with a standard and an extended-range fuel tank option.
All Ram 1500’s come standard with a 23 gallon fuel tank, but many choose to upgrade to the 26 gallon tank for the same concerns you have. With a highway fuel economy of 26 mpg, this bigger tank gets you 75 miles further down the road before you need to refuel.
Before you go ahead and buy your shiny new Ram 1500, it’s also important to remember that the manufacturer suggests mid-grade (89 octane) fuel for the engine, though it will still run on standard fuel as well. Mid-grade fuel tends to give your engine a longer life, so despite the higher fuel costs, it could still save you money in the long run.
So if you want to save money in all its forms, one of the best ways is with
