Towing with a Cybertruck
Towing limits by trim, tongue weight, tire pressures for towing, hitch-mounted carriers, and the setup steps in the owner's manual.
Limits
| Trim | Max towing | Max tongue weight |
|---|---|---|
| Premium AWD, Cyberbeast (20" wheels) | 11,000 lb | 1,100 lb |
| Dual Motor AWD, Long Range (18" or 20") | 7,500 lb | 750 lb |
Keep tongue weight around 10% of total trailer weight, never above the maximums. Heavy cargo or passengers in the truck reduce what it can tow, and the figures assume you don't exceed GVWR. If the hitch label disagrees with the manual, the manual takes precedence. Towing damage isn't covered by the warranty.

Before you pull out
- Check your state's towing rules.
- Inflate tires to the towing pressures above.
- With air suspension, match ride height to the trailer; Tesla recommends Low.
- Distribute the load so tongue weight is about 10% of the trailer weight.
- Engage Trailer Mode, then calibrate the trailer brakes.
- Adjust mirrors; use towing mirrors for larger trailers.
Hitch-mounted carriers
Carrier limits are lower than tongue weight because the load sits farther from the hitch. Tesla's examples: 4-bike carrier 220 lb, motorcycle carrier 370 lb, including the carrier itself.

Tesla doesn't publish a towing range figure. Expect a large drop and plan charging stops with margin. Our range illustration is a rough model, not a prediction. See also Tires and wheels.
