I learned a lesson towing one of those box trailers with my F-150 (the gas one, not the EV). I'm not a trailer guy, and this was a one-time tow across the country to help someone move.
Air resistance makes a big difference! Nobody told me I wasn't supposed to drag that trailer along behind me at 90mph. I didn't figure that out until after the trip. Meanwhile, while ON the trip, my gas mileage was about 7 mpg. I could barely make it from gas station to gas station. I was later told that if I had managed to constrain myself to 60mph and under, I would have saved several hundred dollars - or more - on gasoline during the trip.
Oops!
