I thought you said trucks. None of those is a truck. A truck tows heavy weights over long distances, can handle a full day the ranch hauling feed and mud, can handle all weather and temperatures without any loss of range or power, and isn't afraid of a battery fire after getting dinged up. A truck has no need for 0-60 speed. It needs to be easily leveled. It needs a wide bed and a strong gate. It needs to be easily repairable with easily sourced/fabricated parts because a truck is used to make money. It needs to have longevity and resale value, because there is an entire blue collar world of contractors, ranch hands, fruit/vegetable pickers, and other day laborers who need cheap, used trucks that they can run into the ground. None of these battery boxes is a useful truck. They are battery powered grocery getters that ought to have a minivan body style instead of oversized pickup styling. At least the Ford is making an effort to be a truck, I'll give em that. They tried to give it some pulling power, despite the complete and total range loss when maxed out. But those other two are a total joke.

No actual towing, I didn't buy my truck just to drive to work. How well do they tow?

@ZipZoomZip 5 ай бұрын

@matthewtruitt8077 I've towed various work trailers my entire life, but very rarely out of the local area. All the jobs I have taken are within an hour's drive (because it's difficult to make much money when you have to drive more than an hour each way, each day). But to answer your question, EV's have superior tow dynamics and safety, due to their great torque, responsive throttles, regen braking and solid heft with a very low center of gravity. You will not find tow dynamics like that in any gas or diesel vehicle. This will make towing even right up to the limit, a very easy and relaxing affair with superior control and stability. Of the three EV trucks reviewed in this dumb comparison, the Cybertruck is going to be superior, due to its higher chassis rigidity, relatively long wheelbase and short rear overhang (distance from tow ball to rear axle). Chassis rigidity is what prevents trailer sway from being amplified which is basically what happens with the traditional ladder frame. I have a 2010 F-150 and the trailer needs to be setup and properly balanced or you WILL get trailer sway with heavier trailers because the truck's chassis is very flexy. The Cybertruck, in comparison, will have almost zero chassis flex, like it is hewn from a single billet. It is more rigid than the chassis of a McLaren F1, even a heavy, improperly setup trailer is not going to experience every person's worst nightmare, trailer sway going out of control. That's what causes most loss of control events at highway speeds. Mind you, you still want your trailer reasonably well setup so it will have good braking and emergency avoidance dynamics, but the ability and benefits of a rigid chassis to dampen oscillations shouldn't be under-estimated. The Cybertruck will have a very tight, responsive ride, even when towing right up to its 11,000 lbs. tow limit.

I can tell you have a lot of Tesla stock. What I can also tell is that you don't drive a Tesla out of warranty. My model S has been the most expensive car to maintain that I have ever owned. And I've owned Mercedes S class and exotic imports. The lack of dealerships has been a major con, not a plus. It was the most painful purchase experience I've ever had, where they couldn't even tell me where my car was for several months, and this was for a car that was theoretically already built and sitting on their lot. They flat out lied about a majority of their features. They've consistently refused to honor their warranty, or their prepaid service plan. And they routinely remove functionality or degrade the user interface with nearly every software update while not allowing you to opt out of the updates. I will never, under any circumstance, buy another Tesla as long as I shall live.

It seems like a wonky review. I understand that they did cover driving impressions, but they showed the Lightning and Rivian's range and 0-60 time, but spent more time on the Cybertruck's turning radius and voice operated wiper controls. It was similar to their silly harping on the Tesla Model S Plaid's yoke steering (which is now an option), but they missed the Plaid's unequaled combination of acceleration, comfort and economy for the price. The Foundation Edition Cybertruck's price is high, but it is easy to option a Ford F150 Lightning or Rivian up to that $100K price as well. My take is that this video is mostly just a temptation to go to their website to hopefully see the important comparative information, laid out more objectively.

I echo your comment on the turning radius. How hard is it to put two chalk marks down and measure it? Seems like this is just clickbait - put 'Tesla Cybertruck' in the title for some extra clicks. Really lame 'review'/'comparison', I'd expect better from a 'top' name magazine but apparently Edmunds is not one of those. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the turning radius anywhere, not even in the CT manual. The only thing I've seen of late, is that they recently improved it by 1.9' in a software release.

Probably easier to park especially in the city with decent space to load things. The cyber truck is meant for people who don't actually use a truck.

If I had the money, I would buy all three trucks! We use the F150 Lightning Platinum at work and it is GREAT! INSANELY BIG AND COMFORTABLE and is can STILL tow a typical 10,000 lbs worth of flat bed trailer with typical low-bed cargo for over 160 km (100 miles) on a single charge. For most urban and suburban environments that is more than enough for daily work and home use. For off-road use, I would change the tires of the Rivian to 33 inch Goodyear Duratracs and it would just fine as my weekend warrior vehicle that goes into the back-country lakes and rivers for some fishing and carrying my ruggedized inflatable fishing kayak. The Cybertruck is the vehicle I want to drive to the local city park for a BBQ with family and friends and use for the 2.5 hour drive to the local ski resorts (i.e. Whistler-Blackcomb from Vancouver!) blasting some 1980's era music all the way there while we sip on mocha lattes!

Great review/comparison. Just wanted to point out that you did search for other areas to get more cargo (boxes) into F150 and the Rivian, but did miss a point of storage in the end that you showed for a bit in the video. you could have fit more boxes in the far section of the Cybertruck bed and still closed the Vault. At least three and maybe four more boxes, thus making it the winner. And if you wanted to go crazy, the fold-up second row seats would have made this a total blowout!. Also, don't know if one box would have fit under the bed? In the end of your storage comments while you judged it barely being behind, you actually said "not much in it" about the Cybertruck. A bit harsh for your almost tie. Again... in the end it does hold more. Thanks; and again, a very nice overall presentation.

The Cybertruck DOES have a center screen. I think you are referring to a screen behind the steering wheel, the dumbest place ever to put a screen or a speedometer. People love to say you don't have to look down to see this but then you have to adjust the position of the steering wheel for line of sight instead of ergonomics. I want my steering wheel where I get the best control and the most driver comfort, not the one height that allows me to peer through the steering wheel and see important information. Even that only works if I'm steering straight ahead. All critical information should be placed at 2 o'clock, just above and to the right of the wheel. The center screen accomplishes that and keeps the view of the road just as much within your peripheral vision as a traditional binnacle. That worked OK when steering wheels were large with skinny rims, not well at all now that steering wheels are a smaller diameter and have thicker rims for control and driver comfort. It is legacy auto that's doing things in a dumb manner, and many accept it simply because it's always been the norm. Time to enter the 21st century! @@ericn3221

About a year ago I was debating between the Rivian or Lightning but ultimately went with the lightning because of three main reasons: 1. . Rivian is a fairly new company and still has many obstacles to overcome not to mention we don't know what could happen to the company in years to come. With all startups especially in an inconsistent economy you have to be cautious. 2. . One underrated feature about the Lightning that many don't mention when comparing EVs is that because the lightning is based off the traditional F-150, a majority of parts and accessories are compatible. This makes the lightning one of the most easiest EVs to repair, mod, accessorize, and customize. Most EVs not based off a traditional design would require custom mods and accessories which would cost more not to mention that EV designs other than the lightning keep changing year by year making it impossible to create a market for a specific EV line. 3. . As of today, there are not a lot of Rivian dealerships or repair shops. This can pose a problem if there is an issue with the vehicle and you would need to tow or ship it across country to a Rivian location, meanwhile you can take your lightning to any Ford dealership at every corner of the country. This also affects your ability for mods and accessories too, especially the ones that require professional installation that would force you to ship your vehicle to have them installed.

The horizontal screen works better when you're stuck with only one screen, because it can manage to get that left side of the screen a little closer to the driver. It's also better for watching videos when parked. However if you've designed the vehicle sensibly with a second screen in front of the driver, and you're planning to use the vehicle more while driving than to watch videos while parked, the vertical screen is better in every way. I have the vertical screen in my model S, and the only time I would want horizontal is while parked at a supercharger and watching videos.

For the rear view camera I don't get why they didn't just put what looks like a regular rear view mirror in the normal place but have it be a screen instead. These are common items already for people that don't have zero visibility in the back as is the case with the Cybertruck.

If you are spending this kind of money, I'd go with the one that will most likely have a company around in 5 years to service it. That would be Ford. It is an F-150 through and through but it has an EV powertrain. If you want to tow heavy things a long distance you aren't shopping these trucks anyway so that to me is not a factor. CT is daft, period. Rivian is pretty cool but not better enough to warrant that choice over the Ford.

I keep hearing the argument about the steer by wire being compared to a commercial airliner. What' you don't realize, is that an airplane at 35.000 feet altitude, gives at least several minutes to try to solve a problem, before there's any risk of a crash. Driving down the freeway at speed, in heavy traffic, you only have a fraction of a second. I'm all for a mechanical coupling between the steering column and front end, so I can "muscle" it safely off the road, if there's an error.

Yeah. Kind of garbage review. There are plenty of videos of the cybertruck doing real work including maxing out the over 2k lb bed load. What truck doesn't carry items that go above the bed walls.

It's also the most expensive, and the most expensive to maintain and operate. If you've ever owned a Tesla out of warranty you will know how absurdly expensive they are to keep on the road. Not to mention the hassle of even trying to get Tesla to honor their own warranties or contracts, or to get any repairs done in a timely fashion.

Which truck has more visibility without using cameras? Which is easier to install ladder racks and/or tool boxes on? Can any of the three have a utility bed or flatbed installed in place of the original bed? If the battery pack failed today, which truck is cheaper to replace batteries on? Not including warranty. Can any of the three be ordered without an infotainment touchscreen?

@carlfriedrichs2404 5 ай бұрын

I have an F150 Lightning Lariat. It is basically an F150 with an electric battery. I love mine. It has plenty of visibility without using a camera. It has a 5 1/2 foot bed, and you could easily install ladder racks or toolboxes. You would have to ask the dealer about changing out the bed. If it could be done, the Ford is probably the one that it could be done on. The battery packs all have long warranties, eight years and 100,000 miles or thereabouts. battery reliability is likely to be high if the manufacturer is warranting that for such a long period of time. Obviously if your battery goes bad at nine years and 150,000 miles, it will be expensive to replace. Pretty much every new car on the road right now has an infotainment screen. It is a matter of how small you can get it. The basic trims on the F150 have a smaller screen.

my quick take on this actually great video: 1. if testing the storage of the trucks not within the cabin, surely you would stack them in the cybertruck as it clearly fits 4 more on top when the taneu is closed. 2. the rear steering is currently locked to 3% and will in future be unlocked on all trucks to 10% (not ok imo) 3. small but the camera on the screen can be dragged all of the way to the left of the screen, making it no more cumbersome than a rear-view mirror, still a great job on the video keep up the quality content

CyberTruck. It is the clear winner especially once the rear wheel turn 10% rather than the current 3% and the AntiFa resistant cabin. The riven has too many reliability issues and doesn't have the Tesla charging network.

both the rivian and cybertuck base model has way more tech and features than the f150 top end model. Cybertuck beats rivian on tech too, but rivian is close behind. Cybertruck has by far the best charging network. most durable exterior; and the air suspension means you don't need further expense of running boards which cause more faff and lose aero with them. then there is the phone features which allow you to remote heat the cabin, dog mode, remote check security camera, MUCH better computer compared to ford. f150l owners already complaining their computer is getting slower and slower while even the last gen tesla computer has zero complaints about speed. these are features i use with the ev at least once per week. the f150l is way more spacious in the back which pretty big deal. but just know the software is like and very outdated, worse than a amazon kindle fire tablet compared to a 2022 ipad. i'm skeptical wheter the base model cyerbertuck will keep airsups and 4 wheel steering at 61k and all these other features. if it does, than there is clear winner in here. he should have put in plywood sheets in all 3 trucks.
