I've theorized that Max Tow is the reason the Platinum's EPA range is 300 instead of 320 for all other trims. Max Tow is standard on a Platinum and optional on other trims. I've not verified this in any scientific way.
Also the larger wheels.
I believe it's the larger wheels, not Max Tow.

I believed that too which is why I bought a set of Lariat take-offs. I wasn't able to detect an efficiency difference with different wheels.

Honestly I don't think I could detect a 0.1 m/kWh difference anyway. Disregard everything I've said.🤣

When you use tow mode, the extra cooling does lower range a little, but that's it, no impact when in normal mode.
