Have you seen the rivian reviews? The range while towing went from 300mi to 60. Not an option if you actually use your truck.

- cudgy 5y ago60 miles is pretty good, considering most trucks aren’t usually towing a trailer. Obviously, if you are towing long distances, an electric truck does not make sense … yet. Diesel is the way to go. Again, most trucks aren’t towing long distances so towing range is not critical to electric trucks making sense for most uses.
- mgarfias 5y agoTowing a few times per year completely trashes the utility of an all-electric truck. I do have a big diesel (1T) bought just to be able to tow heavy things. What I'd really like, no one makes: namely an electrically driven, so GOBS of low end torque, but with a diesel powered generator to keep the batteries charged. Give me 150mi of electric range (unloaded), and then a fuel tank big enough to pull a heavy load 500mi. Oh, and the ability to keep it plugged in at night so 80% of the time I'm not needing to use the diesel motor.
