Congratulations! Nice looking truck. If you don't want the mirrors, I'll trade you.

How about the parking?

Looks good to me. Ordered the same combo but with the steel interior. Curious as to what the door payload sticker says?

How can you tell? Doesn't say so on the window sticker.

If the window sticker says Standard Fuel Tank, it's the 26 gallon.
If the window sticker says 36 Gallon Fuel Tank, it's the 36 gallon.

Tank info is sandwiched in between Select Shift Transmission and License Plate Bracket on the sticker.

Before calling you to say he was looking at it with the 36 gallon tank, the dealer should have looked a little closer.
I guess this is the case of another mistaken dealer.

If the window sticker says standard tank, that means the smaller 26 gallon.
If you wanted to be certain you could fill it. It's a awesome truck regardless.
Love the tow mirrors. Good luck with it. I'm waiting on the 36 gallon tank
before I order.

According to pickuptrucks.com and in concurrence with what I have heard from other sources, the eco is currently only available with the 26 gallon fuel tank-

http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/02...liter-v-8.html

12th paragraph down, where they talk about fuel efficiency. And I can understand your frustration, as I have to say the 36gal tank on my 5.0 FX4 has to be one of the better features you rarely think about. 600+ mile operating range on the highway is absolutely phenomenal. I am sorry to hear it wasnt quite up to spec with what you were expecting, but it is still a very nice truck and I cant really think of anyone I know that would turn that truck down. Nice buy!
