We are thinking of buying one of these trailers. It's a teardrop style trailer at 2,940 lbs dry with a GAWR of 3,900 lbs. Tongue weight is 385 lbs. We have a '16 Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel that we will use to tow this in the mountains where no DCFCs exist. However, I would really like to be able to use our Lightning to tow it on the interstate once the Tesla chargers are available. The usual route would be from Kansas City to Red Lodge, MT going I-29 and I-90. I think we would need to... Anyone towing a Nucamp Tab 400 boondock or similar teardrop ..read more

I bought my '23 Lariat ER about 3 weeks ago and I'm still getting a feel for range and efficiency. I figured, what better way to cut my teeth than to plan a camping trip at the beach 300 miles away!? I know that there are a lot of variables involved in EV efficiency/range, but I'm looking for some general guidance from more experienced folks here. I will be towing a Winnebago Minnie Winnie (Micro Minnie 2100BH) round-trip, and here are its specifications; Exterior Length 21'11" Exterior... First Trip with a Travel Trailer ..read more

Hey I’m new to towing anything with real weight. I’ve towed utility trailers but nothing that required brakes on the trailer. So I have a new 7k dump trailer and a new truck. Got everything hooked up, added the trailer to the truck and set the trailer brake gain to 4.5. I see 4.5 when I manually squeeze the lever but do not see anything when I brake with the truck. Is that normal? My neighbor’s GMC shows the gain both when you squeeze the lever and when you use the truck brakes. Is that a... Trailer brake controller question ..read more

I have a 2022 Lightning Lariat ER and an enclosed motorcycle trailer, and I can connect the hitch just fine and start the backup assist calibration...but no light connection.

Has anyone attempted to tow their travel trailer over either Hwy 50 (Echo Summit), or Hwy 80 (Donner Pass)? Hwy 88 (Carson Pass) does not offer enough charge stations. We have done shorter trips (around 100 Mi. with conservative charging) towing our 5.5K Winnebago so far, but would like to try Tahoe later in the summer. Knowing the terrain on the climb, the Trip Planner on Ford Pass seems WAY over confident ..read more
