MUSTANG TOWING??? HERE’S WHAT IT’S LIKE TO TOW ACROSS COUNTRY IN AN ELECTRIC CAR NOT BUILT TO TOW!

EV Channels Review

This video details an extensive cross-country towing experience with a Ford Mustang Mach-E, a vehicle not officially rated for towing. The reviewer, Jay, shares his journey from Washington to Duluth, towing a 1300 lb trailer filled with furniture and tiles, effectively weighing over 2000 lbs with the car's contents. Despite the Mach-E's lack of a factory tow package and its unofficial towing status, Jay reports a surprisingly stable experience, with minimal trailer sway and effective regenerative braking that negates the need for traditional brakes on descents. He notes a significant reduction in range, estimating around 120 miles when towing at highway speeds, and charging sessions typically taking 30 minutes to an hour for an 80% charge. A critical incident involved running the battery to zero, resulting in the car being towed. The review highlights the Mach-E's strong torque for towing and its comfortable ride, but also points out the challenges of charging infrastructure not being designed for EV towing setups, often requiring unhooking the trailer. Overall, while not designed for it, the Mach-E proves capable of towing, albeit with substantial range penalties and logistical considerations.
