Systems and methods for optimizing vehilce performance based on aerodynamic profile

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, user inputs associated with a load connected to a vehicle;
• estimating, by the processor, an aerodynamic profile of the vehicle with the load based on the user inputs;
• calculating, by the processor, an estimated range or a change in a driving efficiency for the vehicle based on the aerodynamic profile;
• and
• performing, by the processor, a predetermined action responsive to calculating the estimated range.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• obtain user inputs associated with a load connected to a vehicle;
• estimate an aerodynamic profile of the vehicle with the load based on the user inputs;
• calculate an estimated range or a change in a driving efficiency for the vehicle based on the aerodynamic profile;
• and
• perform a predetermined action responsive to calculating the estimated range.
