towing

I just lost my Kona to a deer collision and I'm thinking of replacing it with another Kona or the I5. I pulled my teardrop camper (~600lbs) with the Kona with no problems. It seems the I5 is less efficient since it has a bigger battery with similar range to the Kona. I suspect that towing...

Hello everyone! First post on the site. EV owner for about a year now with a 22 Ford Mustang MachE GT Performance. We’ve loved having an EV for daily use/around town. Have taken on the occasional longer trip, but usually will still take our truck on those. I’ve noticed a lot of folks lately...

Hi Everone, I'm possibly in the market for a new pickup and I like the idea of an EV truck. I tow regularly and know that the EVs have plenty of power and torque when it comes to towing. My concern is I live in a very mountainous area and my concern is coming down the mountains. In my current...

I am getting conflicting info about the towing capacity, in North America it seems it will be limited at 1500 pounds while in the rest of the world it’s 3500 pounds. Can’t get more information from Hyundai.

One of the most exciting features of the F150 Lightning is that it’s rated to tow heavy trailers but it’s not as simple as just ordering the F150 Lightning with a tow package. The gas F150 has four different tow options; just a simple Class IV Trailer Hitch, a Tow Technology Package, a Trailer...

I've seen a couple reports of people using the Kia Niro EV for towing. Curious on details such as maximum trailer weight and impact on range. Wondering if there are warranty issues, but haven't looked into that. My 2.5 L Subaru Outback is pretty clear on its limitations: Feedback appreciated!

For those that are considering towing, or utilizing a lot of hitch weight, we installed a set of Airlift 1000 airbags on our Niro EV. I would assume the process is similar for all Niro models (not sure about the size), but the install might actually be easier on our EV because we don't have to...

No mention of towing capacity, so I'm guessing not. It would be nice to have at least a 2000lb towing to make it a useful SUV/CUV. == MHC

Has anyone noticed the reticence of manufacturers to offer almost any towing capability? I would certainly sacrifice distance to get a minimal amount of towing, say 500-1,000 lbs for a loss of 25-50 miles. And the vehicle doesn't have to be a lumbering SUV. There is a YouTube video showing a...
