Any one out there know of a supplier making a larger capacity than stock replacement gas tank for 2019 Silverado/ Sierra 1500 4WD?  Preferably in the 32 gal + or -  range. 

Thanks

I think it's all part of the "dramatic weight reduction" they have been raving about.  Once that settles down see what happens...   Just my thoughts.  I'll choose range over mileage any day,

This has been one of the most popular requests for a long time now.  For some reason, we only see the bigger tanks for the diesels, everyone scared to death of what if liabilities.  I have 31 and would like some more too!

That's a shame.  If a company could manage to bring one to market, they would sell a few.

I use 5-5 gallon gas cans @ $15 a piece and use a portable electric transfer pump. Works great. All in all thing im into it for less than 250.

Since no auxiliary/replacement tanks are ever likely to be available, I was thinking about going this route....http://titanfueltanks.com/titan-sidekick-15-gal-portable-liquid-tank-5040015

My tank Suze is acceptable if I'm not towing, but it's not great.  If you plan to tow, you need at least 32 gallons.

I've seen the new trucks on a lift.  There seems to be plenty of room for a larger tank, it seems to be made for a larger tank.  Maybe a larger tank will be in the near future.

My hope is the fuel bigger tank but.... I also noticed a spot next to the fuel filler for another neck about the size one would expect for DEF.  Perhaps they have other plans for that space. 

 

Regardless there is plenty of room and a replacement tank wouldn’t even require a complex shape. This project is totally within the abilities of one of the street rod shops that specializes in building gas tanks.

That space by the fuel filler will be for def when they release the diesel powered truck. I’m guessing the extra room around the fuel tank is going to have a def tank in it too.

Everyone except Ford, Toyota, and Ram, that all provide large gas tanks as an option for their 1500 class pickups. Ford for $445 provides a 36 gallon fuel tank. Ram also charges $445 for its 33-gallon fuel tank option. Toyota Tundra comes from the factory with a 38-gallon fuel tank. Only with Chevy/GM 1500 trucks is one stuck with a 26 gallon fuel tank. It is why I decided not to  buy a new 2019 Chevy truck and will be holding  onto my 2011 2500HD Duramax for the time being. The Duramax with its factory 36 gallon tank provides me with over 600 miles of range and not about to get stuck with a 26-gallon fuel tank on a pickup that provides two-thirds that range between fuel stops.

Good points Brian.  I've always liked to have a range of at least 500 miles.  My current ride can do that on the highway as can the K2 pickups.  If you figure them getting 22 mpg with 22 gallons of usable fuel that's 484 miles.  Not so sure these new ones are as fuel efficient as their predecessors yet.  I'm with ya, they should have more fuel at least as an option somehow.

And we are not even blessed with a 26 gallon tank anymore, mine is now 24.  I filled up yesterday and it told me I had a range of 321 miles :(

I emailed Titan Fuel Tanks the other day asking if they planned on releasing a larger tank for the new 2019 1500.  Their reply was "We have a few things in the works, stay tuned."  Anyone who's interested should contact them, show the interest in a larger tank.  It's all about there being a market.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
