Can I use 22" Platinum wheels on my Lariat ER without making any adjustments on the truck?

[AJ Tuli]

Lariat has everything I need but i like 22" Platinum wheels. I was thinking to use 22" Platinum wheels for winter tires and 20" current wheels for summer tires.

Just want to make sure i can swap between these wheel sizes without changing anything on the truck.

I would do it opposite, but you do you. The range hit with the Platinum wheels, combined with lower winter driving efficiency, would be a double hit.

Yes. You can swap between them with no problems.

Yes.

Plus you can find 22" all season / "summer" tires reasonably priced, but 22" winters are a lot more expensive compared to 20" or even 18".

I bit the bullet and got new tires for both 22" (all season) and 20" (winter) and then sold the general crapper that came with the truck.

I run Lariat wheels in the winter and Platinum wheels in the summer. In theory the difference between Platinum range and Lariat range is about 0.1 m/kWh. I don't detect the difference.

Platinums have stiffer springs than the rest of lineup. That may or may not make a difference when going from 20" to 22" wheels. I haven't spent any time in a Lariat so I can't speak to the ride difference other than to note it.

The tires on the Platinum are 32.83" in diameter vs the 20's being 32.99". That .5% difference. I don't see how that's going to make the range drop from 320 to 300. Doing the math yields less than 2 miles of range difference.

Only if you want a significant drop in efficiency. Electrical vehicles should *never* have boat anchor wheels and those things are HEAVY, 50 pounds apiece.

You can get a better looking set of wheels that weigh almost half that, greatly improving your efficiency. I eecommenOnly if you want a significant drop in efficiency. Electrical vehicle should never have boat anchor wheels and those things are heavy, 50 pounds apiece.
