FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL INFO

Your vehicle has a 18.6 gallon (70.4L) fuel tank capacity. Use only UNLEADED gasoline or UNLEADED gasoline blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol. Do not

use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.

We recommend using fuels with a minimum octane rating of 87. Premium fuel will provide improved performance. Premium fuel can provide improved performance and is recommended for severe duty usage such as trailer tow.
