A Tesla Cybertruck drew attention after appearing to tow a boat in a video. However, seconds later, the camera revealed that it was also being towed by a Ford F-150 pickup truck.
In the footage shared on TikTok, the Cybertruck is seen pulling a boat called “Spike Island” while climbing a ramp. The camera then pulls back and reveals a rope attached to the front of the Tesla pickup, connecting it to the vehicle that was actually providing the power needed to complete the climb.
The clip quickly gained attention on social media, with users making jokes about the situation. Some commented that, for a moment, they believed they were watching the Cybertruck perform a typical pickup truck task, until they realized it was receiving assistance.
The video also reignited discussions about the model’s towing capacity. Although the Cybertruck is officially rated to tow heavy loads, it has previously faced criticism following independent tests and reports from owners involving difficulties while towing trailers in certain situations.
Among the best-known cases are a towing hitch durability test carried out by the JerryRigEverything channel and a report from an owner who lost power steering assistance while towing a loaded trailer.
In addition to the towing discussions, the Cybertruck has also faced other problems since its launch, including recalls related to exterior trim and reports from some owners involving mechanical and charging failures.
