Depends what you are towing I suppose. I see lots of little tear drop trailers being pulled by Tacoma’s and other half tons around here. I wouldn’t be surprised if 300 km is doable for something that low profile.
That's why I stated "at max capacity". Yes, maybe you could squeak 180 miles towing a little tear drop trailer, or maybe not. I've seen a video or two of a Tesla Model X pulling a little tear drop in the mountains, with a power consumption of 800 to 1000 w/hr per mile. The F150 Lightning is not going to do any better, so your practical range with a bit for reserve might be 120-130 miles. But towing, say a 26'-28' Airstream, as Andy Thomson did with a Tesla Model 3 the range will undoubtedly be less. IIRC Andy got about 100 miles per charge with the Long Range Model 3, and again the F150 is not going to do any better. The Cybertruck with the 200 kw/hr battery just might eke out 130 miles per charge towing a real travel trailer, but time will tell.
