A YouTuber with 1.4 million followers attempted to tow a 1930 Ford Model A truck with his brand new 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck, but it ended in “a complete and total disaster.” “If a truck towing 3,500 pounds can’t even go 100 miles — that is ridiculously stupid,” Tyler “Hoovie” Hoover says in his video. “This truck can’t do normal truck things. You would be stopping every hour to recharge, which would take about 45 minutes a pop, and that is absolutely not practical.”
“This is my new 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck,” YouTuber Tyler “Hoovie” Hoover said in a video in which he tests the electric truck’s towing capabilities, which resulted in “a complete and total disaster.”
For his experiment, Hoover planned to simply drive the EV truck with an empty trailer in tow only 32 miles away, and then load up a 1930 Ford Model A pickup truck he recently bought, so that he could tow it back the same way he came.
“My plan was to make two trips up today,” he said. “About 32 miles each way, so that’s about 64 times two: 128 miles round trip.”
Tell it to BIDEN !!!!! Diesel & Gas HERE TO STAY !!!!
I think what’s more telling about how dismal electric vehicles will impact our future travel was the comment referencing the 45 minutes to recharge when on the road. Can you imagine the backup of electric vehicles at a Royal Farms as each E/V requires 45 minutes to recharge?
They want us off the road and forced to use public transportation.
Only takes me less than five minutes to fuel up my vehicle from empty
but you will have to wait 45 plus minutes to charge up your vehicle and hope there is
no one there when you get to a charging station! Days of road trips will come to an end!
For commuting back and forth to work if you live less than 50 miles from work is okay,
for weekends, and vacations or long distance trips, forget it!
Not pay 80K plus, for a Tesla or 35K for a Chevy Bolt!
