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

The 250 numbers you note I believe support my original contention rather well, but can you also comment how often percentage wise you are driving at those load conditions?
Not sure how the Ranger applies here, is it still functionally a load carrying vehicle in the electric configuration?
