Due to wind and cool-ish weather, Tom got only ~253 miles on the 20” wheels in Conserve mode at 70MPH.

It took me way longer than I thought it would to spot that this was a Limestone truck. Thought it was LA silver until I saw the rendering on the center display.

Honestly I think getting 80% of advertised range on the AT tires at highway speeds is pretty good. That would equate to 290 miles or so with the 21" wheels. I'd certainly take it.

Not bad at all. Remember that the EPA highway test is not run at 70 mph and that as speeds increase over 65 drag, which is proportional to the square of speed, starts to dominate the total load. Plus he had a 14 mph headwind for a portion of the run. That increases drag to 144% of what it would be without that headwind.

There are just too many variables to account for in such a test so its result can only be considered anecdotal but we can certainly look at it and say "Hey, not bad."
