Max Trailering Question

[Ivessm]

Trailing is not the question. Pulling up wet slippery ramp. That's the challenge depending on angle

That's why you have AWD

No different than an ICE vehicle.

Charging. That 420mile trip is going to require leaving at 100% and likely five 60min charging stops.
If you are headed to Marathon you are going to find approximately 0 superchargers that are set up for you to handle that boat and pulling in, you are going to have to drop the trailer so find superchargers at grocery stores or malls etc so there is room for you to drop it, charge, and come back.

The current charging infrastructure is pretty terrible for those of us who tow. Look up your route ahead of time, have your passenger paying attention to charging stops, and plan on 60min+ charges about every 90 miles.

Whole heartedly agree with that last paragraph. Strategic charging stops are crucial for overall happiness. I always assume i will have to drop my trailer (I mean, the CT makes it easy) and am happy when I arrive at the station and I don't. And I always plan on a stop every 90 miles.

Yup, close to being the perfect truck, a couple things like the midgate and bed gaps are problematic, bench seat for some. But really if they put the 500mile pack in it towing for 200miles at a pop would make it no big deal.
Well that and we are all still waiting for the 500kw charging...... which would also make trailering a lot more pleasant with the smaller battery packs.
