Still can’t haul anything.
Towing capacity is 10,000 lbs. the 2023 f150 V-6 can pull 10,100 lbs.
I’d say that’s a pretty comparable drivetrain. Not to mention, most dudes that buy a truck anymore don’t actually use it as a truck. The amount of people I see with a truck not making it do truck things is staggering.
This to also say when tested, the lightning, which is double the standard cab weight of the 2023 F-150 towed a 7700 lb capacity for ~120 miles, the f150 towed the same for ~150 miles before needing to fill up.
You could argue that the gas car is better because it’s faster to fill up. But how often are you long distance towing 8000 lbs +? Unless you’re constantly hauling a camper van, which at that point you just take a nap or go sight seeing while the truck charges for an hour or two. It’s a light duty consumer dude bro truck. Not a semi truck. Which when compared to the Tesla semi…
The Tesla semi can tow 82,000 lbs for 500 miles, 2000 lbs more than a standard semi, and about comparable to a fully loaded semi going highway speeds (between 600 and 900 miles before needing to fill up 300 gallons of diesel)
