Well that Jay Leno video indicating a 5K towing capacity is a shock. I don't quite understand why towing is reduced so much with EREV. The smaller battery was to offset both the space and weight of the generator so why is the towing capacity significantly reduced?

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the average car trip length for an...

In general, an EREV takes care of the issue of range anxiety but a 500-mile range battery (like Lucid) also addresses range anxiety for most car owners.
However, range concerns for a truck, especially towing, multiply the problem; when you are camping, it is exponentiated. So the Harvester...

Owner of a 2019 Raptor and Tesla X & 3. If the Raptor and X had a baby, it would be the Scout lol.
I ordered the Traveler Harvester the day after announcement in Oct. but recently put a deposit on the Terra Harvester as well.
