Wrong Vehicle combination. If that had been a Ski Boat (would be low and the hull aids flow), he probably would gotten the advertised range.
Driving an EV for range, requires a driving style change.  That was rammed home when I rented a car similar to the one I owned before my Leaf. My best mileage before EV was 30 (1.7L engine) After EV was 50 (2.0L) 
Simply by NOT using all the performance (snappy starts and quick stops) it had. |
Sorry to disagree but from the pictures of their mobile home hooked up to the 3500, it is considerably taller than their 3500 so while the air resistance might be lower, it's not that much lower. I went out and checked multiple reviews/comments/etc. on towing and EVs. Virtually every comment on towing using an EV whether it be a Cybertruck, a Rivian R1T, F150 Lightning, whatever suggests that towing using an EV is not going to be a happy experience. One item compared towing using a F150 in both the ICE and EV versions. Oddly, the Lightning did even worse than the Cybertruck in terms of range loss. The F150 ICE lost about 15% of it's range by comparison.
