The vehicle can carry 2,500 pounds in the cargo bed and tow 11,000 pounds. Let&#8217;s see how that compares to the traditional, combustion-powered trucks from Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram.<\/p>\n<p>Before we get too deep into comparing the pickups, it&#8217;s worth noting that a VIN decoder indicates two variants of the Cybertruck are coming, likely indicating two- and three-motor powertrains. The lighter version has a gross vehicle weight rating of\u00a08,001 to 9,000 pounds, and the heavier one&#8217;s GVWR is\u00a09,001 to 10,000 pounds. Unfortunately, the promotional image doesn&#8217;t tell us which variant of the truck has these payload and towing specs.<\/p>\n<h2><span><svg class=\"arrow-heading\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/design\/dist\/critical\/icons\/sprite-common-0-dc6b7de11d922cb73553899f27128303.svg#sqr-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Payload<\/h2>\n<p>A pickup&#8217;s payload refers to the maximum weight the vehicle can carry, including cargo in the bed and passengers. The Tesla Cybertruck&#8217;s spec of 2,500 pounds puts it on top compared to the Silverado, Ford F-150, and Ram 1500. However, these trucks are also lighter than Tesla&#8217;s electric offering. For this reason, we also include figures for heavy-duty trucks from Detroit in the table below. These models can carry thousands of pounds more than the Cybertruck can bear.<\/p>\n<h2><span><svg class=\"arrow-heading\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/design\/dist\/critical\/icons\/sprite-common-0-dc6b7de11d922cb73553899f27128303.svg#sqr-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Towing Capacity<\/h2>\n<h3> Gallery: Tesla Cybertruck <\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>A pickup&#8217;s towing capacity is simply the rating of the maximum weight a truck can pull, whether you&#8217;re hauling a horse trailer, a boat, or a race car.<\/p>\n<p>The Cybertruck&#8217;s 11,000-pound towing rating puts it at a disadvantage against combustion-powered full-size and heavy-duty trucks, full stop. A 2024\u00a0Ram 3500 can pull over 26,000 pounds more than the Tesla, but even half-ton combustion trucks out-tow the edgy electric pickup.<\/p>\n<p>We expect to learn significantly more about the Cybertruck during Tesla&#8217;s big debut\/delivery event, slated to take place on November 30. Stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/697142\/how-cybertruck-hauling-specs-compares-to-ford-chevy-and-ram-pickup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tesla Cybertruck&#8217;s long-awaited debut is on November 30, but a leaked poster (below) on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245817,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
