Toyota Tundra owner overloaded by 400 lbs, switches to GMC Sierra 3500HD

Phil Walworth found his Grand Design Imagine 2800BH trailer's actual tongue weight was about 1,200 lbs, double the claimed 604 lbs. After a CAT Scale weigh-in, he replaced his Toyota Tundra with a GMC Sierra 3500HD AT4 Diesel.

A Rivian R1S Towed a 4,000-Lb Airstream Through Mountains, and Speed Was the Villain

A Rivian R1S owner towed an Airstream Basecamp 20X (approx. 4,000 lbs loaded) 938.5 miles through California's Sierra Nevada and Yosemite, logging 1.38 mi/kWh average — a 31% drop from the 2 mi/kWh baseline without trailer. The key finding: the 179-mile theoretical full-pack range is misleading; the practical planning floor is 140 miles, based on worst-case legs with climbs and wind. California's 55 mph towing speed limit improved efficiency, and the Airstream's aerodynamic shape reduced drag compared to boxy trailers.

Tesla Cybertruck Tows a 4,500-Pound Airstream Sport to Julian and Beats Owner’s Range Expectations

A Cybertruck owner towed a 22-foot Airstream Sport 22FB (4,500-pound GVWR) on a roughly 200-mile round trip from the coast to Julian, California. The trip averaged 520.8 Wh/mi, only 41% higher than his normal 370 Wh/mi, consuming 104.2 kWh. Estimated real-world towing range is 144–192 miles depending on usable battery capacity. Trailer aerodynamics (narrow, rounded aluminum shell) mattered more than weight; boxier trailers can yield 900–1,200 Wh/mi.
