I don't support the EV industry at all. I wouldn't buy one of them at gunpoint. I have no idea why you would make yourself look foolish by leaping to a conclusion like that.

Show me the distance stats of an EV truck hauling a fifth wheel camper with an average weight of 13,000 lbs.

An EV pulling a 13,000-lb. fifth-wheel camper probably has a battery range of about 50 miles. I have never heard of anyone using an EV to tow anything, let alone a 13,000-lb. trailer ... which means I'll never be asked to design a new guide rail to deal with such a thing.

You inadvertently revealed how silly your original comment about the 8,000-lb. EV F-150 was, though. If the weight of an EV pickup truck is such a problem that we need to redesign guide rails to deal with them, then why are ANY pickup trucks pulling 13,000-lb. campers even allowed on our roads?

How long have EV vehicles, especially the more advanced pickups been on the road to force new studies into improved impact resistant guard rails?

This has nothing to do with guard rails bro, this has everything to do with the additional damage that EV's with the additional battery weight will cause in vehicular collisions...

That lesson obviously went right over your head.

Now go to bed
