That's right, nobody needs a body on frame to tow!! You show them ?
The rigid chassis of the Cybertruck tows better than any old school, flexi-flyer, body on frame truck. Those ladder frames are like one big steel spring, hit its natural resonance while towing a heavy trailer and you will learn real quick what terminal trailer sway is!

I've seen far too many mangled RV's on the side of the highway around the American West, two of them were actively burning as I rode my motorcycle by. And for every twisted RV wreck, I've seen 20 or 30 trailers almost lose it due to trailer sway. This is why many experts recommend de-rating the published tow ratings by at least 20%.

Modern body-on-frame trucks are getting better, due to the addition of some high-strength steels to the frames, but those stronger steels are even more of a potential corrosion liability.

The only real issue is range for non-aerodynamic loads. Range extender is looking a lot better now.
