No, that is not correct— both tanks are manufactured by the same company in Australia. (Out of Town 4WD) is the manufacturer for both the 37 gal tank distributed by The Long Ranger In Australia (and Outback Accessories AU), and they make the 35 gal tank distributed in USA by Long Rang America.

A lot of folks have been ordering the 37 gal global tank instead of the U.S. Spec 35gal because of the lower price. That makes me ask 2 questions: Is the difference in cost because of Canadian supply chain vs US supply chain tarrifs on Australia? Does the global tank actually fit and work correctly?

Has anyone actually installed one on a North American Ranger Raptor, and had it work ok?

Simple google inquiry states difference in capacity is due to different frame, emissions, suspension, and fuel filler between North American and Global versions of the Ranger Raptor. I personally do not know if they physically fit or not. When I first researched this a year ago, I was told only the 35 gal tank was US Dot certified—at the time, I wanted to get a poly tank like the Brown Davis, or the ARB.

  • The Long Ranger (Australia):This is the manufacturer, based in NSW, Australia, operating under the entity "Out of Town 4WD". They design and produce high-capacity, long-range fuel tanks, often branded as "The Long Ranger".
  • Long Range America: This entity acts as the American distributor/importer for the Australian-made "The Long Ranger" products, providing them to the North American market.

  • Outback Accessories Australiais another distinct Australian manufacturer producing long-range tanks.
  • The products sold by "Long Range America" are marketed as Australian-designed and made (specifically often from "The Long Ranger" or other Australian manufacturers) to suit vehicles like the Ford Ranger.
  • Both companies (Long Ranger and Outback Accessories) offer high-capacity, 2mm steel fuel tanks designed for tough off-road conditions, which are then shipped globally.
In summary, The Long Ranger is the Australian manufacturer, and Long Range America is the US-based company that supplies their products.

The variation in fuel tank sizes (35-gallon vs. 37-gallon) for the Ford Ranger Raptor produced by
Out of Town 4WD (The Long Ranger) is primarily due to differences in chassis configuration and emissions equipment between the North American (US) and Global (Australian) vehicle models.

35-Gallon Tank (US Models)
The 35-gallon (approx. 132-liter) tank is specifically designed for the US-spec Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor (2023+).
Long Range America
  • Emissions Equipment: US models have specific evaporative emissions systems (carbon canisters) and fuel neck designs that take up space.
  • Chassis Packaging: The tank is engineered and test-fitted around the US gasoline engine and rear coil spring suspension to ensure it clears all factory components.
  • Performance: It replaces the standard 20.3-gallon US factory tank, providing a roughly 58% increase in capacity.

37-Gallon Tank (Australian/Global Models)
The 37-gallon (approx. 140-liter) tank is typically marketed for Australian and Global Ranger models.

  • Different Drivetrains: Australian Rangers often use different engines (such as the 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel or 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel) which may have different plumbing and clearance requirements compared to the US EcoBoost gasoline version.
  • Chassis Variations: Minor differences in the Australian chassis or the lack of certain US-specific emissions hardware allow for a slightly larger physical tank volume.
  • Comparison: While the US tank is capped at 35 gallons to maintain safe clearances and functionality with local components, the Australian version can often accommodate the full 140-liter (37-gallon) capacity.

Both tanks are manufactured from 2mm aluminized steel in Australia and are designed to be direct replacements for the factory units. If you are in the US, retailers like Long Range America specifically list the 35-gallon model as the correct fitment for the American Ranger Raptor.

Weird. My internet must be different because I did this exact research before ordering and got completely different info:

"Many Long Range America tanks are actually manufactured in Australia, but not by the same brand as the TR-98. They are made by Long Range Automotive, and then sold in North America through Long Range America.

So the chain typically looks like this:

Long Range Automotive (Australia) → Long Range America (North America distributor)

The confusing part

There are two different Australian companies with similar names:
  1. The Long Ranger
    • Makes the TR-98 tank you mentioned
    • Based in Newcastle, Australia
    • Designs and manufactures its tanks locally.
  2. Long Range Automotive
    • Different company
    • Makes tanks that are sold in North America via Long Range America. .
These two companies compete with each other in Australia.

So are they the same tank?

No.

Even though both are:
  • Australian designs
  • aluminized steel
  • similar capacity upgrades
They come from two separate manufacturers."

I guess the internet answer depends on the time of day and the specific question asked. In my original post—I copied and pasted directly from Google. Just now I asked Google AI very specifically about the relationship between all the companies and it seems Google changed it’s mind—says last month Long Range Automotive was acquired by investors as well different associations I had copy/pasted from Google before.

This is the part, copied from Google that leads astray:
  • The Long Ranger (Australia):This is the manufacturer, based in NSW, Australia, operating under the entity "Out of Town 4WD". They design and produce high-capacity, long-range fuel tanks, often branded as "The Long Ranger".
  • Long Range America: This entity acts as the American distributor/importer for the Australian-made "The Long Ranger" products, providing them to the North American market.
    Exit Offroad +2

  • I read that as The Long Ranger company is under the Out of Town 4WD (who designs and makes the tanks both AU and U.S. ), and Long Range America is the importer for The Long Ranger products—at this point, I didn’t even know there was a Long Range Automotive.
I tried to be helpful. I only reported what I found—and where I got it from. Last year, in my search for an extended capacity tank, I contacted several Australian companies that sold these brands outright, or re-branded these tanks as their own manufactured products. It was hard figuring out what was what—and still is apparently. I spent way, way too much time trying to get straight info. All of the Australian direct purchases required payment up front for item and shipping. Tarriff was due to the importer on arrival—which could take months to fill a container. Seemed complicated. I found the U.S. distributor (Long Range America), out of Boise, Idaho and bought on sale what I think was a pre tariff tank ($2400 total w/tax/delivered).

I completely understand where you are coming from; if the 37 gal fits , and works in the North American Ranger Raptors—and you get an extra 2 gallons of fuel—and it costs less, I’m with you, I’m all for it.

I think it still begs the question; why are there two versions of this tank? One specifically for the U.S. market, and the other for AU/Global.

Back to the companies—here is what Google says now which completely contradicts what I quoted it reported earlier, and some of what you are reporting:

My question to Google AI:

Are the Long Range, Long Range America, Long Range Automotive, and Out-of-Town 4WD all the same company or somehow interrelated selling the same product?

Long Range America and Long Range Automotive are
intimately related as distributor and manufacturer, respectively, while Out-of-Town 4 Wheel Dr is a separate Australian company that also operates within the same 4WD accessories market.
Here is the breakdown of their relationships:

1. Long Range Automotive & Long Range America (Related)
  • Long Range Automotive (LRA):Based in Lilydale, Victoria, Australia, this company is the original manufacturer of auxiliary and replacement long-range fuel tanks, established in 1989.
  • Long Range America: Based in Eagle, Idaho, this company is the exclusive North American distributor for Australia's Long Range Automotive.
  • Relationship: They sell the same product (LRA-made tanks). Long Range America handles the importation and distribution of the Australian-made tanks to the U.S. market.
  • Update: As of February 2026, Long Range Automotive was acquired by Australian investors but continues to produce the same products, and Long Range America acts as the dedicated US partner.

2. Out-of-Town 4 Wheel Dr (Separate)

  • Relationship: While they are notthe same company as Long Range Automotive, they exist in the same niche—producing long-range fuel and water tanks. They are also a major supplier of ARB 4x4 accessories.
  • Product: They sell their own in-house manufactured tanks, not those manufactured by Long Range Automotive/America.

I successfully installed the Long Ranger 37-gallon tank I got from Canada via Australia. Install went perfectly. I think there might be a slight difference in the transfer case cross member between Australia and NA because the pictures did not match. However the additional carbon canister bolted up fine to the NA cross member. Other than the cross member picture and mention of a fuel filter, the instructions matched perfectly.

You ordered it from somewhere in Canada or just had it shipped to Canada?

Guys, OP here with the NA version of the tank. Asked about fixing DTE and Jeffery helped with a referral to Cody with Stanghi. Highly recommend him to fix that issue and for tuning the truck. He did both for me and we had a beer and pizza after it was done. Awesome trustworthy guy. https://www.stanghi.com/

Glad it worked out for you. Cody is the only guy I found that could even re-calibrate for these larger capacity fuel tanks.
For other people thinking about this Re-calibration, I’ve been driving mine for a while now. After several tanks full of fuel, I have manually calculated my DTE (distance to empty), MPG, and gauge level and have found them to be almost perfectly spot-on after the programming by Cody. I have also found it to have about a 3.2gal (28.5-31.5mile) reserve— which I think is about perfect (my truck is converted to E85 ethanol—which lowers mileage by about 30% (I only get about 9.5-10.5mpg). A normal 93 octane tune should be about 47miles reserve (based on about 15.5mpg).

Guys, OP here with the NA version of the tank. Asked about fixing DTE and Jeffery helped with a referral to Cody with Stanghi. Highly recommend him to fix that issue and for tuning the truck. He did both for me and we had a beer and pizza after it was done. Awesome trustworthy guy. https://www.stanghi.com/
Glad it worked out for you. Cody is the only guy I found that could even re-calibrate for these larger capacity fuel tanks.
For other people thinking about this Re-calibration, I’ve been driving mine for a while now. After several tanks full of fuel, I have manually calculated my DTE (distance to empty), MPG, and gauge level and have found them to be almost perfectly spot-on after the programming by Cody. I have also found it to have about a 3.2gal (28.5-31.5mile) reserve— which I think is about perfect (my truck is converted to E85 ethanol—which lowers mileage by about 30% (I only get about 9.5-10.5mpg). A normal 93 octane tune should be about 47miles reserve (based on about 15.5mpg).

Before you recalibrated did you also have quite a bit of “range” before the needle on the fuel gauge started to go down and quite a bit of range after the fuel gauge was at zero/Empty? Just curious

Yes, the range and tank would bounce around. I’d consistently give myself 50 mi after it hit zero but the bag lights were driving me crazy. My ACD can now relax a bit

Yes it did. It stayed on full for about 60 miles, then, after it started to move, it dropped quickly to empty—which still had about 10-15 gallons in the tank.

Guys, got done with Cody at Stanghi (highly recommended) to calibrate the LRA tank. First pic shows the tank at almost empty with the range, second sows how much gas I took in (it left 5 gallon at empty) and the third with the new range after filling up. At the 14.4 mpg, that reserve leaves me scout 70 miles. This option has made a huge difference as I fill up where and when o want to, not when I have to
