Serfs are tied to the land and are not allowed to move freely about.
Motortrend found that it wasn’t the weight as much as the frontal area of the trailer that influenced how much range loss was suffered.
With the available 775 ft-lbs of torque available off the line, Motortrend found it was a joy to pull the trailer and keep up with traffic, but of course there’s no practical range.
Gas or Diesel will still be king for long distance towing.
Park the RV on the front lawn and get used to living off the grid.
This reminds me of the contests between horses and trains when trains first started to become popular.
Conservatives do not need to be against electric, only the attempt by leftists to “force” it on us.

My F-150 has 2 things going for it - a 36 gallon tank, and a reasonably economical twin-turbo V6. Although if you get into those turbos, the mileage drops pretty fast.
Just another broken promise amid a cascade of lies from an American manufacurer.
7,200 lb trailer is a little heavy for an F-150. I’d want at least an F-250 and would prefer F-350.(with a turbo diesel)
They really expected otherwise?!?!
Fools

Before we answer the big question, let’s set the baseline. While the EPA says the F-150 Lightning Platinum is good for 300 miles, that number is based on a mix of city and highway driving. With only a driver aboard and no trailer in tow, the Platinum achieved a MotorTrend Road-Trip Range of 255 miles.
We had been warned to expect the range to be cut in half when towing, but the effect of towing these travel trailers proved even more significant. With the smallest and lightest trailer, we measured a range of just 115 miles. That figure fell to 100 miles with the middleweight camper and sank to a mere 90 miles with the 7,218-pound Grand Design trailer.
Wait till thieves discover charging stations are full of valuable things, like the copper rich charging cord you plug into your car.
But, folks will notice, like the techs who perform constant meticulous maintenance on delicate charging station components
EV’s = ((stupid^2) * (greedy^2))^1/2
Maybe if the RV had a diesel genset running and you plugged the truck in..?
This is why Tesla won’t release the data on their touted electric semi. They can’t overcome the weight vs. range problem. The batteries would be so large the cargo weight drops to a quarter of the diesels.
Their answer will be Americans don’t need RVs anyway. What difference does it make?
I watched a video with International Trucks , one diesel and one electric , the EV had a battery conditioner to keep the batteries at the right temp and tons of big wires under it , in places that use salt on the road this EV would be eaten
Brain-dead environmentalists refuse to recognize that electricity doesn’t just materialize out of thin air. Furthermore, the downtime it takes to recharge a storage battery is a dead end for anyone who makes a living relying on a steady supply of horsepower. Time is money and downtime spells lost productivity.
This is the camper to use with an electric-powered truck...
Notice the EPA average is without a load and a single driver. Add the average American wife as a passenger and the mileage will be cut in half.
