The single motor version is 7,500 lbs - almost exactly the same as a Dodge Dakota.
The Tri-motor is 14k lbs, a 2019 F150 is 13,200 lbs. https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/2019/features/capability/f1...
I stand by my comment, this thing falls between a dodge dakota and a ram 1500.
"The towing capacity of the 2019 Ford F-150 ranges from 5,000 lbs. to 13,200 lbs., depending on how the vehicle is configured.*"
There is exactly one model of F150 that can tow 13,200. The other 47 models [1] mostly tow between 8-10,000 pounds.

There’s exactly one model of cybertruck that tows 14k lbs. what’s your point?
My point is it outperforms the top-end F150, just like Elon promised it would, while also beating a Porsche 911 in a drag race. Just like Elon promised it would.
I haven’t done enough research on F-150 but I would guess it outperforms a more expensive F-150 at each of the 3 price points offered.
And that’s before accounting for maintenance and fuel savings.
