OP, unless optioned out, you either have a standard 23 gallon, or an optional 26 gallon tank. Look up your VIN as shown in post #2 for listing. FYI: Possibility the 26 gallon tank fuel gauge not show true amount of fuel in tank, it is set for 23, not 26, ask me how I know, LOL.

There is a 23 gallon tank? I thought it was 26 or 32 on 4th gens and 5th gens optioned to a 33.

Oh yeah, and allegedly, some of the newer E Torque trucks have 23 gallon tanks, or has been reported. From wat read, the 31/2/3 tanks are on the high optioned trucks with bigger beds, but only from what I read. Not heard of hardly any Bighorns having larger tank, though think you can get it built depending upon trim levels and options taken. I have never ordered a truck, have played on site, and when you pick certain options, like a bigger tank, other things are changed from what you may have selected. CRAZY: What you say on the 4th Gens may be true, OP says he has a 2019 Big Horn 1500, which would be a 5th Gen DT truck unless, he did not say he had a classic. Someone else who has a Gen 4 would have to chime in.

ADDED: Sure wish the Bighorn came with larger tank. I even went on RAM E site and tried to build a Bighorn with Bigger tank and MFT, would not allow me to do either, higher level trucks, not Bighorn. I think if RAM offered the MFT Option (and bigger tanks), on Bighorns/Lonestars, they would sell a lot more trucks. I would buy a new Bighorn/Lonestar if I could get Bigger gas tank, MFT, and LED lighting. Seems like after the early builds of the Bighorns, RAM dropped the lighting back to Quads, which I will never go back to.

ALL above IMHO.

I did buy a Bighorn new, off the lot that was loaded including the 32 tank. They must have had a hundred of them late in the year. Oct 2017. So yeah, they are out there.

I have no idea if the Ram Classics have the same tank options as the "true" 4th Gen rams. 4th Gen rams had 26 and optional 32 gallon tanks. I have the 32.

K. So it seems Ram Classics have the same tank options as the rest of Gen 4's. So, you have the smaller tank at 26, 32 was the bigger option.

I was PM for the group that installed the fuel system leak testers at FCAs Saltillo Mexico plant. As I recall, we had the ability to test 23, 26, 32 & 50 gallon fuel tanks. We had a tough time verifying the 50 gallon test operation because they didn't run too many of those down the assy line.
