it's not about want... you simply cannot tow a 15k lbs horse trailer with any EV truck availableNobody wants to breath die-sel fumes that has a functioning brain.

18 months more of free supercharging in a 2018 model X, I can chill until its fault free 99.7%.Still faster than the CT which is currently 18 months +
RIVIAN R1T No better all around EV truckit's not about want... you simply cannot tow a 15k lbs horse trailer with any EV truck available
Nice picture We just learned that towing something like that it would drain the Lighting F150 within 100 miles or less.. Interesting to find out how that RIVIAN does..Wonder what kind of range they get. That would take up a large amount of room while charging

We know the towing capacity but no one has actually published how much kWh you use up while towing.Sorry I didn't take the picture Not the right tool for the job. What would the range be towing in places like WV, Or Tenn from Chattanooga to Nashville. Towing up the hill in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Canyon Texas

For folks in CA, whose houses have solar PV and utilities that charge extreme rates for electricity usage in the evening, use of stationary batteries would be a daily cycling event for peak shaving. One would, most likely, not want to do this to one's vehicle battery as it would prematurely wear out the battery. However, a separate battery, such as a Powerwall, or perhaps an RV would not be subject to daily driving use so it can make sense economically when just the RV battery without home connection or the Powerwall that is only for storage, might not.Except the Lightning will already do that on it's own, so it's not really necessary. Then there is the added cost to the RV compared to other options like a backup generator, that can provide long term power in extended outages. The cost-benefit analysis matters. However since an EV RV doesn't currently exist, it's not a factor for those looking to buy now.
That's stretching beyond the topic and the intended use. Those who want off-grid solar capability need a dedicated system like Simpliphi. Those who live in an area with extreme rates & unreliability in their grid, should take steps to resolve the core causational issues, which are easily solvable.

The necessary charger is included with the extended range battery, and hardware per the website is $3,895.I noticed that the home backup option on the Ford is a 20k option

four horses, tack, equipment, clothes, hay and grain, the weight total will be an average of 10,700 pounds
thank you. either way you aren't towing a 4 horse trailer with a F150 / Silverado / R1T / cybertruck or F150 Lightning.... gooseneck and HD trucks like F250/F350 or Silverado/Sierra HD with a diesel engineThe majority of 4 place or larger Horse/Livestock trailers are 5th Wheel or Gooseneck. Even with a 2 Horse bumper pull trailer I sure would not drop my trailer with Horses in it and leave it someplace to charge the truck. Some of these trailers even have living quarters.
Many many decades of statistics would disagree with your point.as to the OP's question, "How many will..." I'd like to add, "How many won't?" I'm one. I could care less about Ford, who historically have built a cheap product. Fix Or Repair Daily is not just a cute acronym. When Toyota started selling in the US, Ford and GM had to step up their game or go out of business. If not for Toyota, they would still be selling junk. And they know it.
