Wow, that would be wild to see. Where can I see a Cybertruck owner "literally ripping the frame out with the hitch?"

- loandbehold 5mo agoWatch WhistlinDiesel cybertruck video.
- Robdel12 5mo agoAnd if you hate WD, here’s another with them bouncing the skid steer on the actual trucks hitch haha before the cybertruck fails 2k before its advertise rating https://youtube.com/shorts/9yLzs5SzaxQ?si=nXElRpuLY_l-DbB4 https://youtube.com/shorts/9yLzs5SzaxQ?si=nXElRpuLY_l-DbB4
- jm4 5mo agoOh, man. I remember that one. He absolutely destroyed that truck. What’s notable about that video is that the other trucks handled the abuse dramatically better than the cybertruck. He was determined to break every single vehicle in ways they would never actually be used, but it was laughable how bad the cybertruck was. If I remember correctly, he made the wheels fall off and had to get it repaired in the middle of the “test”. I think the Ford was still running at the end.

- mrcwinn 5mo agoThanks, that is absolutely crazy!
- magiclaw 5mo agoJerry has one of the worst cases of TDS (Tesla Derangement Syndrome). In his video he applies 10,000 lbs of downward force directly on the hitch point before it breaks, and then says that it "is far too close to the 11,000 pound towing capacity. Yikes." He's a smart guy, he knows downward pressure at the hitch point (tongue weight) is a much different rating than towing capacity. Tongue weight is usually estimated at 10-15% of towing capacity, so 1100-1650 lbs. The cybertruck clearly exceeded expectations here.
- Robdel12 5mo agoThat’s a lot of text for you to not realize these are the exact lateral forces a hitch faces when towing. One pothole and your payload is causing a pileup
- DonHopkins 5mo agoHe explained why you're wrong in the video that you just proved you did not watch.

- culi 5mo agowhistlindiesel also discovered this. it's honestly terrifying that these are legal to sell as "trucks" and people believe they can safely tow with them. Aluminum will only get weaker over time and is guaranteed to eventually break unlike steel
