And know the real F/R weight bias range, loaded and unloaded, and then can give a real world realistic estimate how much drive distance is in each category.

I do. Either the diesel F250 or the electric ranger.
The 250 with a full 3/4 ton load is 50/50, empty the front axle weighs 5000 ish pounds so it's really front biased maybe 63/37, worse when I drive. It's so nose heavy that it burns through front brake assemblies in any configuration. It does close to 800 miles per tank of fuel
The ranger is missing the engine which was replaced by the Kostov so it lost 200 lbs but it has 600lbs related battery hardware in the bed. Not sure about F/R BIAS perhaps 45/55 but it's weirder than anything else I've driven. Gets really twitchy on the freeway above 55. @18kwh, you get 40 ish calculated, I chicken out at 30
