As has been said, this is going to be highly dependent on the individual trailer. However, I would expect roughly the same percentage drop as you see in an ice vehicle of the same dimensions. So if you're towing with a full-size SUV or half ton pickup, then figure out what percentage decrease...

Which is roughly half the normal efficiency/range, correct?

A quick Google search turns up a list of lobbying groups. It would be up to you to look into the activities of each group and decide which one you want to support. Another good action is to call your congressional representatives and voice your position on issues.

Doubt it. It will take them long enough to ramp and build out the showroom/service network in the USA. There's not a huge demand for F150 and Tahoe sized vehicles in Europe.

I'd wager the 35 off-road tires will be an option, hopefully in an off-road package or something that will be available for all trims. However don't bank on getting anywhere near EPA range figures with those big tires.

Let's remember that Congress is in charge of passing laws and is the branch that will need to do something to dissolve the EV tax credit.

I'm going to vote for an integrated trailer brake controller.

I think having the option is the best way to go about it. However the VW id vehicles were certainly engineered separately from the Porsche vehicles and both sets do not have 1pd. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

So just a thought. Other VW group EVs do not have 1pd. VW engineers came to the conclusion that it's more efficient to allow the vehicle to coast. It would be great if Scout gives you the option, however I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have 1pd available.

Unless they start using some new battery technology (which is doubtful) the Scout is going to weigh similar to the Silverado/Hummer EVs. Which is significantly heavier than the F150 lightning.

I'll take the school bus yellow on my Terra.

With the Traveler, I'd probably do contrasting color, depending on the body color. Terra, probably do the body color roof.

I wholly agree, you need the larger brakes. This vehicle is probably going to weigh 8000+ lbs empty with the top battery range. They shouldn't reengineer (and I doubt they would no matter how many people suggested it) to get 17 inch wheels.

I currently have a 4500lbs camper trailer and also have a livestock/horse trailer. I don't really see myself traveling across country with them so I think even having 150 ish miles before having to charge will be sufficient so I reserved EV only. However I may change my mind once specs and...

At this time, it's actually unknown how much battery will be replaced and if the generator will weigh more or less. I guess it's possible for it to go either way. My initial thinking was based on going from ice only to phev and he added components, but I see your point that the weight will...

35 on 18 has more sidewall than the 33 on 17 that comes on a Jeep Rubicon.

Right, the max quoted range is certainly NOT with those tires.

The f150 lightning and mach-e EPA numbers actually slightly beat what they had announced as 'estimated range'. I believe that the GM ultium vehicles, including the Silverado EV, blazer EV, and equinox EV all had at least one battery option that met or exceeded the initial announcement range...

This sort of pricing thing happened with legacy auto as well. My uncle bought a Jeep Gladiator Sept 2022 and paid full sticker. Now they're going for 25% off. This certainly affected trade in and used prices as well. My feelings on residual value of vehicles is that you should just keep the...

They can do like Tesla does in Texas. Sell the vehicle to you out of state. Then just have service centers wherever they need.
