    Hi,

    My wife's 2014 BMW i3-REx handles small trailers easily but struggles with our larger, enclosed trailer. She needs something more substantial. These are my USA available, candidates:

    • Tesla Model Y
    • Ford F150 Lightning
    • Rivian
    • GM Hummer EV
    Any others I should add to this list?

    Mandatory requirements:

    • Manufacturer installed towing hardware with trailer wiring
    • Seat driver and four passengers
    Optional requirements:
    • Use high reliability, fast DC charging network(s)
    • Provide 120/240 VAC, 15-20 A outlets
    • Automated Driver Assistance system

    The lead time for all those vehicles is so long that other candidates may become available (Chevy Blazer?).

    Have you considered an ID4? It can’t tow as much as those you’ve listed but it is certainly more than the i3.

    I’m open minded as we are looking at February 2023 to decide.

    Any estimate of how much the small trailer weighs?
