Want an electric truck?
Interesting video about towing with a Tesla. Sure, a TC would be different, but the video shows how much power loss and how far off the range is while towing. Seems like the range concerns that so...

For me, an electric truck would have to preform nearly equal to my GMC 2500. I could sacrifice 20% in range, provided I could refuel completely in no more than triple the time I can refuel a gas truck. I coulg justify a price premium. But I couldn't accept any decrease in payload and towing capacities. And those range requirements have to be met under the most adverse condItions relating to loads and weather.
I think the adverse weather (eg real cold weather) would probably make it not work for you. Everything else would probably doable. Cold weather affects EV’s, cold weather affects EV’s towing even more. You might be running your GMC 2500 for awhile yet.
Petrol vehicles will have a role to play for a decade or two yet. Your situation is one of them yet.
