Harvester towing

[mbeadnell]

I would strongly suggest the harvester model towing more than 5k. This is going to be a deal breaker for most people and cause a lot of cancelled reservations. My opinion but I would not have announced something like this without all the details
In place to make a firm stance. This has created a lot of confusion and speculation and as a result many cancelled reservations. I would like to see the Terra at least able
To tow 7500 at minimum and the traveler at 5000k minimum. It makes no sense for both the tow the same with one able
To tow nearly 3k more on the pure ev models. This is just my suggestion. Keeping the price within the mentioned amount during announcement I hope is possible to have the towing range increased ( 7500 for Terra 5000 for traveler) that’s my suggestion and opinion.

I'm also just adding my name to the general statement that 7500lbs should probably be the minimum. At only 5k, this thing wouldn't be able to tow a friend's cybertruck to a service center, lol.

The only disappointing thing about that video with Jay Leno is the towing limitation of 5K for the Harvester model. Unfortunately, that would be a deal-breaker for me as well.

Same. I reserved the Harvester because I want to use this vehicle for truck things and with the Ramcharger advertising 14k towing, Rivian over 10k depending on configuration (even though its a BEV), Scout would be starting behind the eight ball sort to speak if that was the case. I would have to cancel if it was any less then the 10k that was floated at the beginning and be disappointed in doing so.

It is pretty likely that while Jay had that limitation in the prototype, the production vehicle will be better. Those prototypes cost a lot of money, are metaphorically brittle, and aren't easily fixed or replaced compared to a production vehicle. I'm holding out hope for the production traveller with the harvester to be on the level or slightly surpassing all the other vehicles in it's class.
