I would disagree, de-tuning a motor doesn't make it more stock.
I'm surprised there isn't a pickup truck with dual tanks and a smol motor that can't do better

I had an F150 regular cab with a straight six, tall rear axle and a factory 36 gallon tank. I could approach 700 miles on a (pair of) tank if I was feeling brave. |

Since I have a claimed history of 19-20 mpg and a 36.8 gallon fuel tank, In theory I can do 699-772miles. The 1999 f250 had two 20 ish gallon tanks and a very kludgeish method of control that everyone hates

That wonderful dash switch, and the linkage that tends to leak and have one tank just pump fuel into the other? |

You're not including the overflowing the full tank performance option, or the running out of fuel just after switching, but yes, that dash switch.

My '96 Ford F250 diesel with such a fuel tank transfer switch still operates without fail. That truck has been remarkably reliable over the 24 years I've been using it to pull my travel trailer. Still going strong.

It's the 235-CID, slant-six, 1-barrel carb, breaker-point, 12-VDC ignition, oil-bath air filter, fixed, 4-blade radiator fan, non-shrouded radiator.

I won't say I haven't accidentally dumped a dozen or so gallons of fuel on the highway because of this. |

By the definition of vehicle I'd have to say a Semi truck?

Odd enough, this engine was never fitted to any Dodge in my country, yet it was widely used in neighboring Argentina despite the flathead-six retained some foothold well into the '60s.
