Truck suspension must be worn out. The one below doesn't have any issue.

Probably due to the fact that it’s being towed by Mater. The cyber truck is heavy for a half ton truck, but lighter than a new f250. Its weight isn’t nearly as ridiculous as the hummer EV, and shouldn’t be an issue for tow trucks.

I owned a Fiat and a Lancia years ago. Most of the issues with them were electrical. Now they have a Fiat that runs entirely on electricity. What could possibly go wrong?

I think the title of this thread was premature. Just my opinion.

Tesla Says The Cybertruck Hitch is Rated to Support the Same Vertical Loads as the Model Y – “No More than 160 lbs or 2 Bicycles”

According to Tesla’s Cybertruck Owner Manual, the Cybertruck “hitch assembly is designed to support vertical loads up to 160 lb (72 kg). Exceeding this maximum weight can cause damage.” Tesla further explains that the load is equivalent to two bicycles.

The tow hitch rated for only 160lbs vertical? How is this a real truck?

Compliance car. They could barely give the first-gen models away. I leased mine for $49 down, $49/month

The maximum load capacity is reached with the owner's ego.

Compliance car.

The first one was, but the new one wasn't intended to be. They had planned on the new 500 and 600 to be EV only and expected them to be their #1 seller like the previous ICE 500 was, but with how dismal the sales have been they are retooling to make them hybrids. The US launch has of course been a complete failure, but the Europeans aren't buying them either.

You’d think Tesla mounted the receiver directly to the battery pack or something. My b&w hitch weighs 30lbs by itself.

Is tongue weight the same as vertical? I've just never heard it called vertical.

While I see several references to the Cybertruck and Model Y vehicles having a 160lb vertical limit, the owner's manual says 1100lb max tongue weight.

I don't know, it's kinda confusing. I would think that vertical weight is tongue weight, but since I didn't design that piece of shit, I don't really know.

Maybe they'll do well in China.
Bwahahaha!

I'll never know. I have no plans to ever own a cybertruck.
