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.”

It didn’t catch fire though! There’s that!
Sorry, couldn’t resist!
I see EV’s being situationally practical. An EV golf cart, completely practical. A cheap EV vehicle for in town errands, practical. But as a workhorse, for distance drives, back country... not practical.
You still have a choice you don’t have to buy a piece of crap. Yet
I have a 23 foot Monterey boat. I was really concerned that any electric vehicle would be able to tow this for any distance or to be able to get the boat out of the water.
What a wimp its for the planet he cant stop for a while ever hour screw him
He should try towing his Ford Lightning with his Model A to see how far it will tow it.
GOOD luck w/ that
Now that is a winning post right there.
assuming you can find a charger every 100 miles down the road
best keep a generator in the bed
Over and under for EVs stranded evacuating Hurricane Ian?
Cut that performance another 30% in winter.
Electric. It’s fun.

That’s what they refuse to tell you, EVs ARE NOT supposed to be practical. In the NWO you will not be allowed to travel very far from home if at all.
That’s all we’ll be allowed - because they don’t want humans leaving Control Zones to mess up Gaia, anyway.
He bought it KNOWING this would be true.
attention whore.
😂😂😂😂😂😂✌
Does the 150 in F-150 mean 1.5 tons towing capacity?
Yeah, the usual EV fluffer will be along to straighten all you that reject liberal virtue signaling.
