Fuel Tank Higher Capacity Replacement

I know CAFE requirements cripple manufacturers fuel capacities, but with only 16.9 gallons 2DR and 20.8 gallons 4DR I am eyeballing 60 gallon replacement tanks available for the Ranger.
Multiple 4-5 gallon cans in makeshift racks/holders look the overlanding lifestyle, but don't even begin to compare to internal volume, range and the lower center of gravity a larger tank provides. Not to mention ease of use and no smelly gas-hands in the cab. I have an 23 gallon aux tank now totaling 42 gallons on board, one of my favorite most performance enhancing upgrades I have ever done.

16.9 gallons range will only decrease as gear is added, truck lifted and MT tires making more resistance.

Wish there was a factory option, so how low will it take for third parties to have replacement/aux tanks for the new Broncos?

Are you interested? Do you like the smell of gas on your hands and gear?:)

Not an issue for me. No way any passenger riding with me on a road trip would be able to make it through a full standard tank of gas without needing a bio break. Not much need for more capacity when I need stop every couple of hours anyway, haha.

CAFE has nothing to do with capacity. The limiting factor is space/packaging. Take a look at the chassis photos floating around. Pretty much every square inch is occupied. The 4-door is longer so it has the increased capacity. The Supercab Raptor gets a 26-gallon tank and the Supercrew gets 36-gallons. Same issue.

You mean the guy with the aux tank that takes 3 times as long to fill up at Costco?

How about a 2nd tank option? The old bronco's had 2 tanks. Maybe even put it on other side of car have 2 20's would be nice on 4 door.

Aux tank would be a true performance enhancement. All the gadgetry is shiny lux objects compared to a range increase.
