Curious as to why the Panther can move further than the lighter Pz IVH.Wider tracks but a lot heavier and slower i would guess?????????

Panther had a better engine, transmission, suspension and tracks.

It had a road speed of 34 mph.

The PZIVH had a road speed of 23 mph.

That would explain it.

Thanx!

A Heavy Tank doesn not necessarily mean slow.
Modern main battle tanks are also quite fast.
