An F-150 weighs just over 4,000 pounds. A Cybertruck weighs nearly 7,000.

That's a lot of weight pushing into the soft sand.

This isn't true. Many higher trim F150s (bigger cab, 4wd, luxury interior) weigh over 6000lbs. Only the smallest, cheapest ones used for work vehicles are on the 4000lb range. Not defending the Cybertruck, but repeating false info doesn't help.

The 2023 F150 King Ranch Super Crew has a curb weight of 4,912 pounds. The Cybertruck is nearly a ton heavier.

It's not an unfair to explain that being heavy affects traction in the sand, and batteries weigh a freaking ton. In the case of the F150 Lightning, for instance, the battery is 1800 pounds, and it's pretty close to the Tesla in weight.

Side note: the King Ranch Super Crew sounds like a range of chicken burgers.

Sure, if you intentionally try to make it as heavy as possible, it's only a thousand pounds lighter.

Or you go for the F250 and reach into a completely different class of vehicle it can get heavier.

I bet a Navy destroyer weighs even more!

Only the smallest, cheapest ones used for work vehicles

So, the only cases where using F150 is even justified?

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what's being said here, but it's pretty surreal hearing someone explain how their pickup truck is too big to be useful as a work vehicle.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Most big trucks are big because they have more interior passenger room. They're essentially vans/SUVs with a small, useless bed that's purely for looks. Only smaller trucks have a bed of usable size.
