Here is your extended battery pack

If they built the battery into the trailer where you could actually carry cargo, a SXS, etc that would be super cool! Hmmm maybe I could set up a battery system in my current cargo trailer so I could use my Lightning to tow my Polaris RZR?

I don't think Ford will allow you to drive while the truck is plugged in, so not sure how this is different from stopping at a charging station? Seems even more cumbersome to me personally because now you're hauling this "charging station" behind you.
Only way I see this being helpful is if you ran out of juice somewhere and they tow this to you

Just so you know this is kind of a joke if you didn't figure out. That trailer will prolly cost more than 3 or 4 Lighting trucks.

Yeah, I was gonna actually type in at the end "if this is real"
Aren't there "Hypermilers" that are using generators to charge their cars as they go so they can extend their range? I could see the advantage in adding a battery pack to my existing cargo trailer to give me an extended range while towing. I don't think that's too far-fetched if the Lightning will allow the truck to feed off of a remote battery pack plugged into a charging port.

Yeah but I ended intsalling 2 more cng tanks to my old dedicated CNG F150 truck just to make it out of Arizona to Albuquerque NM.
This was in 2001.
