And if you are switching i have heard there is a 40-42 aftermarket option.
My buddy that went for Coyote with a Roush supercharger has been shopping them to replace his 26gal.

A quick Google search suggests the tank would be about $2K. I'll need to do a deep dive to figure out what it would mean as far as crash safety and etc.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
That sounds about double to what my buddy was quoted.
Everything makes me want a PowerBoost: performance, mileage, ProPower. I had originally thought that the ProPower was going to be a really niche, "people will get it and then never use it" thing, but...damn. Run any of your home's major systems. Charge your boat's batteries. Automatic on/off on the engine to manage it, and the entirety of your truck's fuel supply to keep it going in an emergency. It's a feature I'm absolutely going to get, and likely the 36-gallon tank if I can, too.
I wouldn’t worry about crash safety, Ford’s been doing this big gas tank a long time, it ain’t their first rodeo. Honestly, a newer F150 is gonna be way safer than your 2001 with all of the airbags and whatnot.

One downside to the PowerBoost trucks is payload, particularly on the optioned up trucks. I believe my 2016 XLT has a payload of around 1750lbs. Looking at some of the door stickers of PowerBoost trucks online the payload is in the 1300 lb range. That could cause some folks problems depending on intended use.
The 36 gallon tank is not available on the PowerBoost, I think it is only available with a 30 gallon tank.
I just realized the 40 some gallon tank I Googled up was aftermarket. If I did a tank swap, I would buy the Ford tank for exactly the reasons you just said.

As I understand it, the tank on the Powerboost is the stock tank which is 26 gallons. And there are no options for increased tank sizes. To me, it’s not really an issue. My current RAM with a 32 gallon tank gets me around 500 miles, and I try to always fill up at half tank in normal situations. The Powerboost, I would think, should come close to the same range.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Hmmmmmmm, plug the camper in and run the air conditioner overnight at a truck stop...
