Truck wars: Ford challenges Tesla to an 'apples to apples' tug-of-war
1/1
The Ford factor
The Ford F-150 features a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body and high-strength steel frame, providing the foundation for available best-in-class payload and up to 13,200 lbs. of available towing.
It seems more than likely that the F-150 used in the challenge wasn’t the most powerful model, while Musk declined to mention which Cybertruck they used — there are three versions, with the tug-of-war possibly involving the top-spec all-wheel-drive tri-motor version that’s capable of towing 14,000 pounds. The rear-wheel-drive, single-motor Cybertruck can only tow half that amount.
