          Max tongue weight for a Cybertruck is 1100 lbs. They put almost ten times on it before it broke. It was fun, but it’s not a valid test.

                They also explain in the video that you basically have to assume that at times the entire towing capacity load will fall on the tongue weight, like when you hit a pothole or speedbump and your trailer starts rocking back and forth a bit.

                Everything might be fine and dandy when the load is more or less balanced on the trailer wheels while parked, but when driving, bumps and shit happen, and that towing tongue, back end of the vehicle, and suspension system better be able to handle it.

                Any which way you look at it, the front fell off and the back fell off. All around the dumpstertruck isn’t even half worth a shit compared to real work trucks.

                  Then the video is plain wrong in regards to tongue vs tow weight. No truck or trailer manufacturer anywhere in the world adheres to that.

                  I commonly tow a triple axle trailer that weighs 12,000 pounds with my GMC Sierra 2500HD. That much weight would snap the receiver off and bend the frame if the hitch had to support it all.

                  The CT is for clowns but that video is stupid and should be disregarded.

                    Cyberdump broke, other truck didn’t. Same test.

                    However relevant or not you want to think of it, the results speak for themselves.
