WE TOWED WITH FOUR ELECTRIC TRUCKS OVER THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS: HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED

EV Channels Review

This episode summarizes a challenging towing test across the Rocky Mountains involving four electric trucks: the Tesla Cybertruck (Cyberbeast), Rivian R1T (Quad Motor, Large Pack), Ford F-150 Lightning (Lariat), and Chevrolet Silverado EV 4WT. The primary takeaway is the Silverado EV's exceptional performance, largely attributed to its massive 215 kWh battery, which allowed it to complete the journey with significantly less charging time than the others. The reviewer highlights the Silverado as a "beast" for towing, offering a substantial range advantage. While the Cybertruck and Lightning showed potential, they were hampered by charging infrastructure issues and software glitches, respectively. The Rivian R1T secured second place, performing well despite studded tires and a bed rack. The test also underscored the critical importance of charging port location and the unreliability of some charging infrastructure, particularly older Tesla V2 Superchargers and inconsistent navigation software in the Ford Lightning. The video serves as a compelling preview to a longer, more detailed review on the "Out of Spec Reviews" channel.
