What are you towing with currently?
3/4 ton Dmax.
Where did I ever say anyone is going to prohibit me from driving my truck? Go on, quote me. Didn't think so.
BTW Propchef didn't own anybody. The Lightning had an energy density problem and I pointed that out. He dose not seem to understand this. I don't think he even understands the term? I tried my best to explain this but he does not seem to understand. Then I gave him a video with an engineer that tried to explain the problem in the simplest terms. He still does not grasp it. No problem.
Most of the people that don't understand and more than likely don't even own an electric vehicle....much like Propchef.
Like I said above; this is a RV towing forum. For me the five most important things when tow an RV are #1. horse power #2. stopping power, #3. range #4. cost/mile and #5. capability to control RV in back of me.
If anyone of the above are missing you're going to have a very bad experience. The Lightning did great on all of the above except #3. That darn #3 keeps on getting in the way of towing things with a battery powered vehicle. LI batteries just don't have the energy density and more than likely never will. Will some other battery come out and solve this problem? Maybe, maybe not.
