Long Range America Fuel Tank on 4th Gen Tacoma

[TacoFreak]

@lauren01 That brings up a good question. Does anyone know if this tank works with hybrids? There are differences in their fuel systems compared to the non-hybrid trucks, and has LRA indicated that those have been addressed?

Oink Oink or whatever sound a guinea pig makes. Don’t know yet. If there is a problem with fit or function, I won’t be getting this tank. Right after I placed the order, I sent the order email back to LRA to highlight that I have a Trailhunter with 6’ bed. Fingers crossed that they will kick back the funds if they find out they can’t put the unit on and have everything work.

An extra 53 of fuel (14 gallons) weighs approximately 85lbs. You add the weight of the long range gas tank that's 90lbs = 175 lbs. from what I can find the stock tank weights 35-40 lbs empty so. More like 140 - 145lb difference. Which still isn't bad at all. 100% Worth considering if the Toyota computer could be adjusted for the fuel capacity.



Just looking at the 3rd gen one... LRA says

• The fuel gauge will remain accurate, DTE will not. Once the E-light comes on there is 7 gallons remaining.

7 gallons which would be ball park 100 miles... so the factory DTE isn't all that important.... but would still be nice .

If it's a Toyota product, you'd like to think that they can do a software adjustment to recalculate the DTE?
