Curious here...when you go to the R1T Shop and filter to new-26-QM there are 3 different mileage estimates on the veh available. most 338 then the dune wheels 325 and one is 374 w Bronzed Sport. only difference i see is the higher milage one has Burnished Bronze Sport Wheel 22. Could just that get nearly 10% more mi? I know on our Gen 1 QM the wheel covers don't add that much. thoughts appreciated.

They have different tires. And the sport wheel has better aerodynamics. But mostly it is the tires.

Yeah, it's the tires. The 22" Sport wheels probably have low rolling resistance street tires, while the Dune ones are chunky all-terrains. That alone can swing range by 10%.
