I might be wrong, but I think that the Cybertruck sides are part of the reason why it doesn't need a heavy ladder frame.Please explain further, aren't those loads primarily concentrated in the rear axle assembly?
Center structure handles pitch torque and center loads. Towing should be mainly inline other than tongue weight. Payload in bed should be mainly vertical.
The truss-like shape helps hold the vechicle together when towing forces put a lot of load on the rear end. Maybe this isn't as significant as I think it is, I ment to convey contributing rather than primary.
If the CT can match the performance of a body-on-frame in a lighter unibody design that is a big step forward. Corey did have some doubts on CT towing.
