I'm only going off the reviews of other electric trucks. Weight seems to greatly affect their range.

Yeah one of the things that Ford did well with the Lighting was to initially advertise the range with an appropriate load. I don’t know if they’re still doing so, but it took some of the guesswork out for buyers who were actually going to use it as a truck instead of a station wagon.
