    Larger gas tank '23 Explorer?

    Anyone have a source / solution for a larger gas tank for a 2023 Explorer XLT? When pulling our RV, we get about 11mpg and have to stop every less than 3 hours for gas. Any other way to improve mpg? We have the tow package, and a brake controller. Pulling a 4k lb RV.
