After reading a lot of conflicting information about the larger 38 gal fuel tank and trailer brake controller on the 2015 Tundra, I decided to email Toyota directly. I pointed out the discrepancies between the brochures not mentioning these features but the manuals including them. It took almost a week for them to get back to me once I pointed this out.
Below is their response which has clearly been passed through their legal department to cover their butts. Very disappointing and baffling how so many auto websites got this information wrong. I wanted to share this for those who were holding out for a 2015 to get these options (myself included).
Toyota's response:

I apologize for any confusion, and thanks for asking! I apologize; a 38 gallon tank is not available on the 2015 Tundra.
