I likely will trailer the Lightning behind the RV and have a golf cart that fits in the bed using a system called MadRamps that uses the hitch to support the weight. In my last vehicle that I towed 4 down, I added airbags to the rear to help with the weight in the bed. Anyone know if there is a system like this for the Lightning?

You may want to rethink your setup.
RECREATIONALLY TOWING
YOUR VEHICLE
You cannot recreational tow your vehicle
with all wheels on the ground because
vehicle or electric drive motor damage
could occur. You must recreational tow
your vehicle with all four wheels off the
ground, such as when using a car-hauling
trailer.


The lightning isn't designed to be towed for long distances at speed. It's also a heavy truck.

Thanks for the note - If you note I stated that I would be trailering it with the golf cart in bed.

Ah, I see.

You'll have to try it out but it will squat with that much weight back that far.

It also might upset the trailer balance with the weight distribution.

I was able to do this on a 26’ utility (heavy) trailer. Dont like squatting the truck so much but it was nice to run the RV off the generator from the truck in silence when we stopped. I have had no luck seeing a way to add support to the rear - anyone else?
