Cybertruck Towing and Payload: 4,990 kg Towing, One Ton Payload

In brief: The Cybertruck tows up to 4,990 kg and carries about 1,100 kg on the bed – more than most diesel pickups and several times more than electric SUVs. It features a factory hitch, towing mode, and 120/240 V outlets on the bed. Two things to remember: towing reduces range by up to half, and towing heavy trailers in Poland requires a separate analysis of licenses. Below are the numbers and practical insights.

Data: How much can the Cybertruck tow and carry?

• Maximum trailer weight: 4,990 kg (all AWD versions and Cyberbeast).
• Payload: about 1,100 kg – passengers plus cargo on the bed.
• Bed: approximately 1.83 × 1.3 m, covered with a roll-up cover, with an additional storage compartment under the floor and electrical outlets.
• Hitch: factory-installed, under the bumper, with a trailer socket; air suspension self-levels the vehicle after connecting a trailer.
• Towing mode: adjusts suspension, recuperation, and range estimation; the trailer is visible on the screen from cameras.

For comparison: the Tesla Model X tows 2,250 kg, a typical pickup like the Ranger or Hilux – 3,500 kg. The Cybertruck is in a completely different league, close to large American combustion pickups.

What do people really use it for?

• Boat or jet ski trailer – 2–3 tons, a typical weekend scenario; the Cybertruck barely feels it on inclines.
• Horse trailer – two horses plus trailer is about 2.5–3 t; stability and air suspension make a difference.
• Camper trailer – even large models 2.5–3.5 t; here, planning charging is crucial.
• Construction and business – a pallet of materials on the bed, power tools powered from the vehicle's outlets, a flatbed with machinery on the hitch.
• Second vehicle on the hitch – a flatbed with a passenger car usually weighs 2.5–3 t.

Range with a trailer: honest numbers

A trailer increases air resistance and weight, and an electric vehicle feels this more than a combustion one because it doesn't have a fuel reserve. With a 2–3 t trailer on the road, expect 200–260 km between charges instead of 400–450 km solo; with a large camper trailer with poor aerodynamics – even less. In practice, this means a charging break every 2 hours of driving. On short distances (a boat to a lake 100 km away), it doesn't matter; for vacations across half of Europe, plan charging at stations accessible with a trailer.

Licenses: driver's license and trailer

The Cybertruck is registered in Poland with a GVW of 4,250 kg, and you can drive it with a category B license thanks to an exemption for alternative drive (details in the text Cybertruck and Category B License). With just a category B, you can tow a light trailer up to 750 kg GVW. A heavier trailer requires a B+E category – and with a vehicle GVW of 4,250 kg, the vehicle combination quickly exceeds the limits covered by B+E. This doesn't mean towing heavy trailers is impossible, but it requires checking licenses and configuration in your case. If towing over 750 kg is to be a daily routine, let us know before purchase.

Hitch and trailer in documents

For individual approval in Poland, the tow hitch and permissible trailer weights must be included in the vehicle's technical documentation – the values in the registration certificate are binding, regardless of what Tesla declares. That's why we discuss this during vehicle preparation: if we know you'll be towing, we ensure the documents allow it. A trailer over 750 kg must have its own brake, and the entire configuration must have a valid technical inspection.

Outlets on the bed and equipment power

The Cybertruck has 120 and 240 V outlets (American standard), which can power tools, a fridge in a camper trailer, or lighting – up to several kilowatts in total. For European 230 V devices, the 240 V outlet is used with an appropriate adapter. For construction and service companies, this is a real argument: the generator is in the vehicle.

Test with your own trailer

Come with your trailer to Katowice (ul. Francuska 184) or Częstochowa (ul. Główna 140) – we'll connect it, check leveling, and show you the towing mode. Schedule on WhatsApp.

A light trailer up to 750 kg GVW – yes. Heavier requires a B+E category and individual analysis of vehicle combination limits with a vehicle GVW of 4,250 kg.

Is the Cybertruck suitable for a camper trailer?

Yes, even for large trailers; key is planning charging every about 2 hours of driving and choosing stations accessible with a trailer.

How much weight can be loaded on the bed?

Total payload is about 1,100 kg – so a pallet of building materials or several scooters without issue.

Is the hitch listed in the registration certificate?

For individual approval, permissible trailer weights are included in the technical documentation – that's why it's worth telling us about towing plans before vehicle preparation.
