Right there with you! My son and I restored a 89 D150 with a 318 and it only gets about 11mpg on a good day downhill with a tailwind breeze with the engine off in nuetral.
ICE people don't realize that... If you travel 3 weeks or of the year and work the rest... Assuming you fill up once a week that's 49 trips to fill up you're not wasting time on.
No worries...I was just saying that. I didn't think you were implying anything.;) I hear folks on every platform complain about long range towing. It's definitely more time consuming but much less stressful. If you don't care about arriving on a long trip exhausted and cannon ball running...
Thanks. I'm not complaining. With tow pups and a wife in the cab we usually stop more than the required charging in general. I had an 05 F250 diesel for about 10 years and it was great at towing but expensive and rough riding unless I had at least 500lbs on the tongue.
Started with 260 miles of range. Stopped every approximately 100 miles with about 70 miles remaining and charged to 260ish. We stopped 3 times and arrived at our final destination with. The navigation wasn't adjusting for the slower speed. It's like every new leg it was counting on me driving...
So I towed a Jeep XJ from Nashville TN to Dayton Ohio and range was 50%.
My average consumption was 748Wh/m.
I set cruise at 65 mph on low suspension setting with all seasons. Towed like a dream and with air suspension unhitching took about a minute. We had to unhitch once.
Pretty easy trip.
Gotcha. Check your grounds..I had an issue with my trailer first tow and this truck seems more sensitive to weak grounds. My model y towed this same small motorcycle trailer last time and it didn't find any issues. The CT made me find a slightly cut intermittent ground wire.
