Right at max payload in drywall… and as I post I realize I didn’t test out the onboard scales. Dang it! There are too many toys on this thing to remember them all!!!

Also, happy thanksgiving to you all. I appreciate this forum very much, being completely new to the ev world when I got my truck I’ve learned a lot from the collective brain trust on this forum.

sw engineering manager,
Hauled some trash from our small business (we don't have enough to have weekly service so we haul it ourselves as needed).

I had some pallets to get rid of in the bed but no room for the trash can. One of those times I curse the 5.5 foot bed. Would have easily fit in my old Chevy with the 6' 8" bed.

Luckily a 50 gallon trash can easily fits in the back with the seat flipped up:

(For those wondering, this photo was taken after emptying. Also, trash from the shop is mostly shipping materials like steel and poly banding and plastic wrap. No food waste, so was not stinky)

Tried doing truck things last night. Turns out, it's not very capable and I got stuck in my own yard.

Tread pattern isn't great for mud, but I would think the AWD would handle flat grass/mud ok. What happened?

Got stuck and barely managed to rock it out backwards, it couldn't get through in off road mode with the rear dif locked. Honestly thought I was going to pull it out with my jeep. Never expected my 11 year old grand Cherokee to save a truck but here we are.

What was your range with this 5th wheel?
Not a 5th wheel just a 37 foot long travel trailer. Weight 7500 lbs. I have been getting avg. 1 mile per Kwh. I don't go on any cross country runs, just local parks within a 300-mile range. (1 charge) For me, my wife and the Grand kids there are a lot of parks.


Long term I'm looking at trading over to a self powered trailer or adding battery and powered axle to this unit. That will make the trailer towing neutral.

Thanks for letting me know. I shouldn't have generalized your trailer in to that category.
