Cool, but TBH pretty dinky.. make it a dual axle with a propper stateroom at the frontHere's another neat 5th wheel concept with corresponding article and youtube video.

Huh? 3mm thick (0.118 inch) steel is not light. It weighs about 0.3 lbs per cubic inch.it’s 3mm thick and very hard which is why the have to score it. But it’s also very light...
Conventional steel which is not what they’re using. They’re using a proprietary alloy designed at SpaceX for rockets which necessitates low weight, weight eats money when getting to space. This is all ignoring the fact that they outright said “it will be about the same weight as the F150” they outright said it, and it’s not like they didn’t have a prototype to weigh of all the things they could get wrong I’m betting that’s not one of themHuh? 3mm thick (0.118 inch) steel is not light.

I don't think the prototype weight is a great guide for them: From the Motortrend reveal article: "Construction of the prototype is "unibody-on-frame" in the same vein as the new Land Rover Defender, but the production Cybertruck will be pure unibody"[...] and it’s not like they didn’t have a prototype to weigh of all the things they could get wrong I’m betting that’s not one of them [...]
Apparently the CT will weigh in as a 3/4 Ton truck. If so, I think it needs to be 5th wheel capable to compete with F250, Chevy/Dodge 2500.
Wonder how many power walls that trailer could carry?Might have been brought up and discussed or just a stupid idea but i'll ask anyway. Why can't the trailer have its own battery pack like the cybertruck or any other Tesla so it extends its range? Kind of like having an extra gas tank on big pickup? That trailer would be able to have one heck of a big battery

Does anyone think the Cybertruck will be able to tow a 5th wheel trailer with the sides and where the batteries are at?
5th wheels are a better design, and I think there should be more of them for half tons, but they are really for dually one tons and ton and a half trucks
Remember the ICE answer to these towing capabilities is a huge dually smelly diesel with a 5th wheel in the bed. Makes the bed totally useless for anything else and will get around 5mpg overall with load. Will typically cost more than Cybertruck as well. Will ride like ass when not towing, not fit in a garage or even parking lot stalls. Needs a step to climb up into cab. Essentially a one trick pony. It will idle like a can full of rocks and stink up everything around them while spewing canceragenic particles.
Lol better off towing a couple more TM CTs on a trailer for less money than the powerwalls.
