A 2022 Rivian R1T Quad owner towed a 2025 Brinkley i265 travel trailer from New River to Prescott, Arizona. The campground forbade EV charging, but the owner found a Tesla destination charger near a bar and charged during a 7-hour stop. The uphill leg consumed 70% battery; the downhill return used 40%.

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.

Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD Towed a 3,014-Pound Camper, But the 355-Pound Tongue Weight Is the Real Story

A 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD with the 4K Tow Package towed a single-axle camper weighing 3,014 pounds dry on 55-mph roads. After adding 450 pounds of cargo to the trailer and 200 pounds in the truck bed, the total combination approached the vehicle's limits. The tongue weight of 355 pounds, near the 400-pound maximum, raised concerns about using a weight-distributing hitch on the unibody Maverick. The owner opted for a sway bar kit instead.
