Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

So I guess you’d have to either fill up your trailer with gas or charge it. Now that’s two vehicles you have to power, which kind of defeats the purpose of towing anyway.

Electric vehicles lose a lot more range when towing than diesel vehicles, and they take longer to charge.

This would be a good option for a family that has an EV, but doesn't want to drive an 8,000# EV day to day, just needs the extra juice when towing.

You could use an EV motor home, but then if you wanted a smaller vehicle with to drive around at your destination, you'd have to either drive that separately, or town that vehicle.

This is a solution for people to have a single, smaller EV that can bring an existing travel trailer for vacation.

This is EXACTLY the type of thing that would help prevent people from "needing" an F-350 for day to day driving, cause they have a trailer they use twice a year.

Of course it takes longer to charge. Who charges a diesel vehicle?

/s just in case.
