Not without a penalty. The range that Boeing lists on their website includes TWO AUX TANKS. So take your pick... gas, pax, bags. Can't have them all arrive at the same place and the same time on that pig. Will we opt for the AUX tanks? What will that do to the weight and balance, not to mention the cargo capacity? Somebody stop this before it's too late...
