The Wait Is Over. The Ranger Raptor Long Range Tank Is No Longer a Prototype
Back in 2023, we shared results from our prototype testing program. At the time, we had a development unit living full-time under a Ranger Tremor test vehicle and were gathering real-world feedback from customers willing to put miles on it. Fast forward to today, and what started as a prototype is now a production reality. As with our previous-generation Ranger 37-gallon tank program, the goal was never to create a race truck accessory.
The Ford Ranger Raptor (2024+) 35-Gallon Replacement Fuel Tank has been available since mid-2024 and is currently shipping to customers across the United States. Designed specifically for the U.S.-spec Ranger Raptor, this replacement tank increases fuel capacity from the factory 20.3 gallons to 35 gallons, providing approximately 58% more onboard fuel capacity.

The goal was simple:
Drive farther. Stop less. Carry fewer fuel cans.
Whether you're crossing Nevada, exploring the back roads of Utah, towing through Arizona, commuting long distances every week, or simply preparing for circumstances where fuel availability becomes uncertain, extra onboard fuel capacity provides a level of flexibility that stock fuel systems simply cannot match. We often hear customers talk about "distance to empty" numbers, but the reality is that every Ranger owner drives differently. Some owners will see numbers that make EPA estimates look optimistic. Others will see significantly better range due to driving style, terrain, tire selection, vehicle weight, and cruising speed. Just as a 34.6-inch tire gets called a "35" by virtually every tire manufacturer on the market, range numbers are often best discussed as practical averages rather than absolutes.
What we can say is this:
A stock Ranger Raptor starts with approximately 20 gallons of fuel capacity. The 12° North / Long Range America replacement tank raises that number to 35 gallons while retaining OEM-style filling through the factory fuel door and utilizing the original tank location. [12degnorth.com]
For customers accustomed to planning trips around fuel stations, that additional capacity can fundamentally change how the vehicle is used. The Ranger Raptor was built to go farther off pavement. Now it can stay out there longer too.
For those familiar with our earlier 2019-2023 Ranger program, you'll recognize the philosophy immediately. That tank increased capacity from 18 gallons to 37 gallons, more than doubling the factory fuel supply and earning a loyal following among overland travelers and long-distance drivers. [12degnorth.com]
The next-generation Ranger Raptor tank follows the same approach:
- OEM replacement design
- Uses the factory fuel door
- No jerry cans required
- Built from aluminized steel
- Designed specifically around the U.S.-market Ranger Raptor platform [12degnorth.com]
The prototype phase is over.
The testing is done.
The product is on the road.
If you've been waiting for more range from your Ranger Raptor, it's available now. Questions? Feel free to reach out directly or leave a comment below.
