If did buy one I would 200 percent restore with a bigger tank (and a new engine too while we’re at it) lol
It won’t hold a much bigger tank......that’s why my 1970 had 2 tanks....a 14 gal main and a 10 gal reserve (mounted under the driver’s seat with a petcock valve to make the switch)

The 2dr has a 9.5L smaller fuel tank than my '04 Xterra, which is annoying. I only got a 460km range with that truck. It got roughly 17mpg.

I guess I'll have to carry some jerry cans with me when offroad. Especially on the longer trails.

Yeah for sure less weight equates to better fuel economy. But, I could get 30+ mpg out of my r1, But I ride it hard when I do ride. Fuel economy comes down mostly to how the vehicle is driven.

On my Honda 600F3, 6th gear, 120kph, 6000 rpm, 90km on 4 litres.....so 52.9 USmpg.

But yeah, if I wanted, I could empty the tank real quick.

I fully expect that 90-95% of my miles will be driving to work and back. So the fact that a 4400 lb Bronco with the Eco-boost gets worse mileage than my 6600 lb Expedition with the old 5.4 is somewhat disconcerting.

Wouldn't matter so much if Ford would put in a decent size fuel tank.
Yeah, the argument made for "eco"boost engines giving the Bronco some kind of fuel savings advantage went right out the window.
