Is that from Fast Truck lane guys who are always finding creative ways to downplay CT in every possible subtle manner? 230 miles on a 6K trailer is impressive, but again you have to see from the larger lens of how this will work for long distance towing. Charging network, charge time, ease of...

I have been towing since 5 years, but I don’t have experience with EV towing. I did my extensive research on towing and hitch system and fully aware of what it takes to tow. I have done many long distance towing. Every rig is different in terms of towing. This is the most basic thing about...

Any EV pickup truck is the wrong truck for long distance towing. It’s funny how we think Silverado EV with 400ish range will magically solve long distance towing problem. It won’t. EV towing is not limited by battery but by drag from the trailer. This exact same setup that OP tried might have...

Yep! His name is Andy. I called him and spoke with him several times while setting up my rig. He beats the conventional thinking of using traditional trucks to tow. That dude is just amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. I almost decided to make a trip to visit his shop and show my rig that he...

Exactly! Think of it as a wheelbarrow. The more you lift, the more weight is transferred from rear to front. You can adjust the WD tension once the trailer is hitched up. Depending on the tongue weight and trailer load, you adjust the WD. I couldn’t agree more. We need some official answer from...

Nope! Auto leveling and WD are two completely different things. Auto leveling won’t change the axle loads. You can overload rear axle by several lbs and make the rig highly unsafe, but you can still have perfectly leveled wheel wells. WD changes the axle loads and helps with...

My personal opinion is - when it comes to the safety of the family, few hundred dollars go a long way. If WD is compatible with CT, I would absolutely recommend it. I have towed for several years and did extensive research before buying WD on a 4000 lbs trailer. I can’t tell you how many times...

one more very important thing - lower your expectations significantly (at least 80%) when towing a parachute (as @CyberGus rightly said) during long road trips 😆

Safari condo was my top choice before I bought Basecamp 20X. It can be stored inside the garage if you can fit the length, as the height retracts. My only concern was the service and the community support. No matter how amazing the trailer build quality is, they all break at some point, sooner...

Checkout the Pebble trailer. It has drivetrain to propel the trailer. I won’t be surprised if other manufacturers start building battery powered trailers. Electric trucks won’t be able to tow long ranges mainly because of aerodynamics. If someone tows 11,000 lbs mass that’s shaped like a...

No EV truck is designed to do long distance towing. By long distance I mean anything above 100 miles. The only way to solve this is to have pull through chargers. Even if the range doubles, there is always someone who wants to tow a parachute. We just need pull through chargers everywhere. If...

Exactly! The most underrated feature in the Cybertruck!!

Love this! Thanks for sharing.

I was about to say that. The rear wheel well has completely sagged. I’m sure CT won’t have that problem.

Thread title should say tows as expected instead of saying horrible. The range cuts into half, and that’s primarily because of the drag. You would get the same towing range with similar setup on other EV vehicles as well. If you tow something that’s very aerodynamic, such as Airstream, then the...

Thanks for sharing! Should I start ignoring this channel going forward? I sense lot of negative stupid bias from these guys for Cybertruck. Their comments on Cybertruck after driving gas guzzling trucks - “Decent noise” from the AWD motor, No “instant” Torque off the bat? Seriously? Wow!! I just...

I think it’s software controlled. Someone here said this capability will be added in the future through software update. I hope that’s true. It’ll be great to charge CT and power trailer at the same time.

I love my airstream Basecamp 20X. It’s so lightweight and nimble that you can take it to most campgrounds. Though it has wet bath, the grey and black tanks are separate, unlike Bambi, and the tanks can stay heated if you need for cold temperatures. Basecamp is just perfect. Some don’t like the...

Love this trip report. Thanks for sharing. This is the type of towing I’ll be doing, but with a smaller Airstream trailer. We need real owners’ experience like this to encourage other CT owners to confidently tow. There is so much negativity out there in claiming that Ct is not a good tow...

Ugh! That’s not good. Hope we get an accessory soon or someone shares a 3D file to print a cap for that hole.
