    Model X towing test 2

    I feel for you with your tongue jack dilemma. I purchased the jacks on Amazon. Supposedly have a 6,000 lbs rating each. They are actually pretty sturdy, compact and easy to use.

    Model X towing test 2

    It was fully loaded at that time. I’m sure we’ve added a few more pounds of crap since. We run with tanks empty because the places we visit are all full hookups including both 30 & 50 amp to charge car and run trailer. I did remove the mounted stabilizer jacks to save some weight and help...

    We took it to the scales, attached is the weight sheet. Steer weight is the car and axle weight is the trailer.

    Model X towing test 2

    Technically it is considered a motorcycle trailer. Forest River is the manufacture, 14 x 7 plus the extra in the V nose. The inside stands at 5 ft tall. The Legends car in 60” wide so we have room for extra tires and such on both sides. The consumption usually is in 740 range per mile but I...

    We also pull this trailer with our Legends race car. Fully loaded puts us at right around the 5,000 lbs limit. Usually around 700 or so.

    Fully loaded. Dry the trailer is <4,600 lbs. Our essentials and supplies make up the rest to stay under 5,000 lbs. We tow with tanks empty since we plan to always go to full hookup places.

    Model X towing test 2

    Our latest outing (test) went something like this. A Better Route Planner said we could make it to the Colorado Springs supercharger with 14% battery left from our house in Brighton. I used the numbers from my previous test to calculate, but didn’t trust it all the way so I played it safe and...

    Model X Towing in Colorado

    You got it right. Basically, I left the ground wiring to the trailer brakes on the loop and split the left & right positive with a new wire run to both.

    Model X Towing in Colorado

    My hitch has a scale and was right at 460 lbs. Both weight of trailer and tongue weight are within spec. Three of us were in the car when it was weighed ( approximately 600 lbs). The Model X is a 6 seater.

    Attached is my scale sheet from my test. We are only going to be camping in RV parks with full hookups, so we only carry a few gallons in case we need the bathroom along the way. It leaves me close to 400 lbs for the rest. Steer axle = Model X Drive axle = Trailer
