Since its debut, the **Tesla Cybertruck** has undergone numerous tests, frequently yielding comical—or even catastrophic—outcomes. **Tech YouTuber JerryRigEverything**, recognized for his smartphone durability evaluations, opted to challenge the Cybertruck in a different manner: by examining its towing capabilities. He attached **11,000 pounds** to the truck’s hitch, the vehicle’s maximum towing limit, to assess how well it could endure the load.
As one might anticipate from the title, the results were not favorable for the Cybertruck. During the assessment, Jerry utilized an excavator to deposit **10,000 pounds of weight right onto the hitch**, mimicking an improperly loaded trailer or abrupt weight shifts that may happen while towing. What was the outcome? The Cybertruck could not cope with the stress.
For a comparison, Jerry conducted the identical test on a **Ram 1500**. In contrast to the Tesla, the Ram **managed the weight with ease**. Even as the excavator jostled the truck while sustaining a **10,000-pound load**, the vehicle stayed unscathed—demonstrating its toughness.
Jerry deduced that Tesla’s **gigacasting method**—a manufacturing technique used to produce large single-piece car frames—functions effectively for Tesla’s other models but might not be ideal for the **Cybertruck**, particularly in terms of managing heavy-duty applications.
