The video features a 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric pickup truck towing a 1930 Ford Model A pickup truck. The host, Hoovie, tests the truck's towing capabilities and range. Despite having a light aluminum trailer and a small payload, the truck's range drops significantly, using over 70 miles of range to travel just 35 miles. Hoovie notes that the truck's instant torque makes towing effortless, but the range is a major concern. He speculates that the lack of a normal transmission and the drive motor working harder may contribute to the poor range while towing. The test is deemed a failure, with the truck unable to complete the intended trip due to range limitations. The video concludes with a preview of the third season of the show "Car Issues" and a tour of the cars in the driveway, including a Hummer H3, a C36 AMG, and a K5 Blazer.
