Towing with my Ford Lightning EV Pickup was a TOTAL DISASTER!

Meh, it wasn't a disaster.  I like Hoovie, but the range estimator has no clue how to calculate range when you've never even towed with it.  It shouldn't be surprising that your range towing went down by half compared to the last charge just driving around.  Are there YouTube videos of guys staring at the "miles to empty" estimate on their gas/diesel trucks and complaining that it went down by half after they hooked up a trailer?  Does anyone fill up their tank, see 600 miles to empty, then hook up a trailer and expect the number to remain?

But...when I hook up my 48' long, 2 story, single axle to my 1/8th ton Izusu Pup, I get more mileage towing...

It has a 5 spd manual.

:bag:

He literally starts every video on his channel with "The Dumbest Automotive Channel in All of Youtube", so I doubt he'd be offended. :biggrin:
