That's almost as small as our little TT. It's a 17' body and 20 OAL with tongue, probably 3500 loaded up and it's just under 3k unloaded. On average, quite a bit smaller than most that I see. From a friend's experience with his lightning, a trailer like the one above and mine would kill around 40% of range. My friend is losing nearly 50% and his trailer is a bit bigger and heavier.
No...still smallish; maybe schmedium.
Yeah, it shouldn't be a surprise that a newer model, with a smaller engine, more gears and 2wd is going to get better MPGs.
All semantics I suppose, depending on whether you mean just "small trailer" or "small travel trailer." It's not a small trailer when compared to something like a motorcycle trailer or utility trailer. But it's certainly on the small end of travel trailers.
180 miles 10-80% real world range with 30 minutes recharge rate should be easy to obtain with 500 mile EPA range CT. That is perfect for towing an RV for 90% of the use cases. 380 mile range, on one recharge per day of 30 minutes works perfect with only paying for the one Supercharger session. First charge is cheap from the campground or house.If you want to tow 15,000 pounds 500 miles without stopping, get a Tesla semi.
If you want a pickup truck that has significantly reduced range when towing, then get a Cybertruck.
You could tow a Model 3 in a
Just get the pickup version.
Semi is cheaper at that point since there is a $40,000 commercial vehicle incentive.
R1T is already getting that mileage with an airstream of similar size and weight. Actually 120 miles stretching it. That is only a 130 kWhr pack. That is why I am hopeful with a 180 - 200 KWhr 4680 pack, we hit the 180 mile 10-80% (70% of the entire pack). Some of the improvement from battery chemistry (more silicon) and some from better recharge curve with 900V architecture and hopefully V4 chargers. Even V3 chargers have a massive amount of untapped potential from simply flatting out the charge curve in the high rate charging part of the curve.
So here's my small (35'), light (13k lbs), Aerodynamic ToyhaulerTrailer I'll be pulling! Yes it needs a weight list hitch! Have a Tri (quad) motor on order so it can handle it tongue weight / weight wise - but yes Range will be abysmal (hopping 100 miles with this trailer is possible)....but it's only a year old and just got $12k worth of solar/batteries/inverter, etc so it's staying for a bit (kept my last one for 10 years)...and until they make a truly useful EV supporting trailer with batteries, regenerative breaking, etc
The plan is to sell my 2500 Dmax to the son in law for a discount and first usage right on camping weekends! Then use the CT to Hoon around in, commute, dirt bike hauling, etc
Missed this question. @Ogre it's a 20ft camper. Not mine It's a rental. I only bring that up because owners tends to accumulate things (weight) in their campers over time. This one was as empty as can be, not even mattress covers. The only additional weight we added was the water, cooler of food, bedding and a couple kitchen items.
It's all a matter of perspective...
it would be interesting to see a comparison
Yes , also new trailers I've seen have Built-in battery packs/solar, with electric power train to help push the trailer.
