It all comes down to what you want to do with the Truck. Some people may only tow 5 to 6 times a year and haul stuff in the bed once every couple of months. But trying to rent a Truck when they need one may not be practical. Some people may only need to tow short distances. Others may have to tow heavy loads less than 200 miles round trip. Can a Rivian tow 11,000 lbs? Yes it can but you won't get far and if you can't charge it on your trip or stopping to charge isn't practical it isn't the Truck for you. Same with the Cybertruck. We just have no idea on price, payload capacity or towing capacity. My personal opinion is that the Truck at launch will be priced around the Rivian may be a little cheaper but not by much. Weight will be close to the F150 Lightening and Rivian. Most likely towing capacity for a 350 mile Truck will be around 8 to 10K. Payload capacity will be close to the Lightening. If the bed is actually composite the Truck may have close to the same payload as the Rivian. The Rivian has a lower payload than the Ford according to the majority of door stickers I have seen. All the pictures of the Cybertruck I have seen the rear part of the cabin looks like a small Cave. Low side window visibility in the rear and the rear seating area seems very dark. Again these are just my observations and opinions.
