My EV is 2023 Lightning Platinum with everythi g that comes with....looking to make 50- 100 mile trips to parks and ocean here in Western Washington...one day a road trip I5 southbound....so is it too much trailer?

What is your payload rating on the door jamb sticker?

 

[OES414]

Sorry...1605lb

100% I would tow that. My travel trailer is 36 feet long and 7000lbs and my Flash tows it like a champ. You just have to keep an eye on your payload.

Thank you for your feedback, it really is appreciated.

A 6,600lb dry weight equals close to a 8,000 pound wet wait. Tongue weight should be 13%, so around 1,040. Plus wdh.

With a payload of 1,605, minus anything you added to the vehicle after it was made, you barely have capacity for 2 people.

Personally, I would never go over 7,500 GVWR trailer. 33 feet is too long also.

I appreciate your input. So on the length thing, what should I be looking to tow it with? Do I need a truck with a longer wheelbase?

...33 feet long

That is more of a mobile home. I have had a 40' pusher, and a 35 ft gasser while towing a CRV and run 50=55'+ so I know about driving around with that length. Do you have experience with such a long unit?

Have you checked the spots you want to visit for that length of available RV parking spots?

The truck will pull it if you get the proper equipment, but it won't do it for many miles without charging,. Basically you need to make it from your house to that RV park on one charge at 0.8 mile/kwh, have you checked? Dropping off that 33' monster each time to charge will be a major task.

You are trying to use the wrong tool to pull that long RV. Sorry, just an old man comments after a life time of RV experience. You posted the question, you have to expect this type of response ...\

I would recommend a superduty diesel with full hitch equipment if you are locked in on a 33' mobile home.
