I watch Hoovies Garage purely for the towing reviews!
All 1 of them!
Formerly known as Towie's garage.
I watch Alex Jones for the Hoovie guest spots. Lets go Brandin. Lets hope Steve Bannon is his latest regular guest shag boy.
LOL! Towie's Garage.. Sorry Tyler you're having to deal with InfoWars, complete garbage.
😂
He says it won't go over 20 miles an hour as the camera pans to the speedometer showing you going 70 😂
And people still believe him!
it's not all about what a person can see
He doesn’t know how to keep quiet.
That's what Jones is all about! Blatantly lie and just scream it over and over until someone believes him!😂
nah fuck that what did ford pay or say to him to make him review it again LMFAO lets be honest thats what this video was
I was watching an English Reviewer trying different loads on a Motorway at 70 mph. He lost (Approx) 7% of his SUV's range simply by putting ski racks and a pair of Snow Skis on it. That was actually about the same as he lost putting 4 other passengers in it. Aerodynamics is really important to EV's. He scaled it up, and a Caravan ended up taking about 60% of it's range.
That's what they are used for, for moving things!
Caravans halve fuel mileage on 'normal' vehicles as well. BUT can be refueled and on the road again in 10 min.
Well look on the bright side, you went viral and grew the channel. Plus you stood up and addressed the hysteria it created to set the record straight. That’s class.
Also, this is an opportunity to talk about HIF and the synthetic, carbon neutral fuel they are producing - long live the combustion engine.
Classy is he didn't RTFM or would have known the range estimates are based on city driving with regenerative braking
yaaa but the people who blindly belives alex jones :-p :-p wont see this clip or the original clip soooo
Alex jones was right on so many issues
That’s a real world tow. You use the hitch you got for the payload you got. We don’t get to choose only aerodynamic things to tow.
Don't think you're a dynamics will make much of a difference you'll still find yourself dead on the end of the road.
No, in the real world people with different trailers use hitch mounts with varying heights and hitch balls to adjust. It's not rocket science.
@@chuckschillingvideos in my real world I see people use chains, ropes, etc… whatever they have available. Hoovie did a real world tow whether he likes it or not.
@@chuckschillingvideos as a 3rd generation farmer I'd say, no, no they don't. We have dozens of hitches of drop sizes and we just grab the first one we can find, put it on the truck, "Is it going to drag? Is it going to bottom out?" "No, then it's good." The real world doesn't go up to a table/wall full of their different hitches and figure out which one will be optimal for the weight and load they are going to tow.
@@limptuna7687 you mean you don’t do advanced math, engineering and wind tunnel testing every time you need to tow something?
You gave an honest opinion of your experience. It’s consumer information that people need. Don’t apologize.
An honest opinion would not have been so one sided. IMHO LOL
@@danharold3087 yes, opinions should be faked to present the non existent 'other side'.
*I am a proud straight white male.*
@@MrXperx Generally when one only sees one side it is a strong indication of bias.
Did he apologize? I must've missed it.
Man I honestly subscribed because you pointed out the video showing how to get the max mileage driving conservatively. It shows that you are an honest reviewer and not just someone in it for the followers.
Thank you for an unbiased review of this vehicle. I always questioned the range and you nailed it.
The fact you can see how fast the truck is going and he still said can’t go over 25mph is what got me lol
That’s big EV moving the horizon backwards for the video.
Probably read something wrong and went with it lol
@@Aron-ru5zk You can see the dash and it says 70
Honestly, if you expect shows like that to tell anything remotely true, you'll be disappointed. Why? Because there's no consequences for lying. In fact, with how things are, they're actually rewarded for straight up lying.
Those viewers don't verify anything they hear. Why would they be lied to? And if they were lied to, it wasn't that bad. And if it was that bad, it wasn't the host's fault. And if it was the host's fault, it doesn't matter anyway because their ENEMIES are lying anyway.
"He can't get the car above 25mph", immediately cuts to clip of Hoovie driving the truck at 41mph.
it is a F.O.R.D. (Fast Only Rolling Downhill)
Right before that, there is a brief shot of the speedometer showing 73 mph! 9:13
And One clip was at 73 lol
9:10 73MPH. lmao xD
Did they mean MPG, but the electric equivalent?
Hoovie - just ignore them. You have what’s called an HONEST opinion, which is why you’re successful so just keep trucking along.
It is amazing to watch the way different people put different spin on the same thing…we can’t just accept things for what they are.
Exactly. This EV truck could be perfect for one person and terrible for another and yet people want to define it as one thing for everyone which is silly. It's almost like they are doing that for clicks and views implying that clicks and views somehow get them more money which is high on their priority list.
@@lanceareadbhar The problem there is I have seen advertising pointing out the lightnings ability for towing so.... would that be Fords spin?
@@cjtuckerbpmc it can tow though....
@@TheOrlobo barely....
@@cjtuckerbpmc fair enough. It would be enough for my in town towing.
Hoovies Infowars is my favorite trailer towing test channel. Looking forward to Tyler's new segment with Alex where they drive electric cars looking for lizard human hybrids
I hear they can be found at the Bilderbergers Conference. Maybe they can stop off at one of the FEMA Death Camps and visit the secret Russian Troops. Lol
LOL
Is Hoovie a Shapeshifter?
Guess we know Hoovie is a D
🤣
My favorite part of his channel is how he tests all vehicle's towing capabilities. Whether it's Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Aston Martin, or Ford, he tows them all. You are the Man Hoovie!
Underrated comment
Especially when they are on fire! Hoovie's cars on fire towing segments are second to none!
learn something new everyday, can't wait until we dig up that car for a towing test.
Yup, most of Tyler's cars have been towed (on the back of a tow truck) one time or another. They all towed rather well.
Yeah. I really liked the one where he put the 5th wheel on the Ferrari 308GT and hauled that 50 foot Airstream across the Donner Pass almost as much as when he used the Bugatti Veyron to pull the Winnebago out of the muddy ditch.
You gave an honest review. The truck is very limited by range. There is no question. There is also no question that it has incredible torque. Keep up what youre doing
We demand more towing reviews!
Perhaps the next one should be a VW Beetle, or if I dare suggest, a golf cart.
You handled this incredibly well while staying kind and moderate. Thanks for the nuance Hoovie. I wouldn't get that from a lot of people if they were in your shoes.
Agreed!
I sub to this channel because he covers ALL aspects of something and is honest about actual ownership.
His review was honest and affirmed all the information I had already attained via independent research. EV's have poop range for towing. (Don't tell me I'm going to go 20mph under the speed limit while towing, it's not going to happen.)
Infowars guy was CLEARLY an idiot, not knowing what he was talking about or clearly lying.
I have 3 cars. I may replace my Focus RS with an EV. I may replace my SUV with a hybrid, but I probably won't replace my truck ever with an EV... This doesn't mean I'm against them, but just like was stated in the video, the cons are too far negative for the jobs I'm demanding of the vehicle.
AND 1 thing not stated ever in EV reviews is you absolutely need a lvl 2 charger installed at your home location if you plan to drive an EV daily. That's an additional ~$1000 cost...
Alex Jones gives head to chipmunks
You do a great job on your channel. Now, let's get dwn to the real topic both seen & hidden. This video was a TOTAL CYA deal. Trying to undo the massive bad PR damage that Jones created from thin air, using selected facts, ( as do ALL MAIN STREAM MEDIA outlets, daily, to lie to viewers). So now Hoov has to try to do a wrap of car review video so as to try to appease the Ford pple from totally ruining his present and future relationship with the largest truck manufacturer on US soil. It's rather comical to see how a guy that nobody including Hoov likes (Jones) when he 8s doing EXACTLY what MSM does daily to viewers by lying & twisting facts to suit there narrative. Like when WhiteHouse press secretary JKP lied 9 ways from Sunday about how Joe's gaffe of a tragic death of a woman in congress a month previous, was met by Our President asking where she is in the crowd during his speech. That part was not funny. What was funny was the circular loop of lies the WhiteHouse told to try to defend Joe Bidens inability to remember when pple died & how they can no longer be present for his press brief or speeches.
Anyway, Hoov had to try to smooth this all over to avoid a future relationship with Ford, & although Ford Executives would never act mad about this PR nightmare, even Hoov had to ADMIT he uses clicking titles to lure in viewers & subs. So this whole thing was a TOTAL Public relations disaster for Hoov, Ford, & CLIMATE Change/Global Warming activist. & Hoov doing everything possible to distance himself from his own content by pointing out small nuggets of misrepresented info from his vid to Jones show. When we see the exact same things DAILY from our own Main Stream Media & WhiteHouse, & are just supposed to accept it as fact, when they present lies & twisted dialog as real reporting. So, in closing, for once, maybe...just maybe... the Liberal Left got a dose of there own medicine. Clearly this scared Hoov. Not cuz he did anything wrong. But because Liberal public relations was given to them what they believe they give to the STUPID AMERICAN PPLE every day. & now nobody likes it. & this could cost pple something do to the damage believed to be done to everyone involved.
Welcome Liberal Pple, to the world of 74 million voters. Now ya get to understand how they feel when you lie to them daily on TV, youtube, & the internet in general.
Nice review BTW, Hoov. Especially pointing out the seat materials on the Ford EV F150. Man, this really scared ya, looking forward into your own future. Well... lesson learned son. U want clicks, so ya use titles to get um. & now no free trucks for you anymore from Ford. Unless your awesome review in this video got you off the hook.. Don't worry. Americans have short memories. & politicians know this. Just gotta deny deny deny, till the next distraction comes along. Just think if UA-cam shut off your channel like they have thousands of others who accidentally did exactly what you did..?? Got the wrong pple upset at you. Those CLIMATE pple & Others will crush guys like yourself if you hadn't done all the hiding & fainting to try so hard to show how bad you act like you feel. Hopefully U appeased everyone and u get to keep the revenue from all those great clicks & new subs you got out if it. Cuz really, you win big time on this deal.. Nice Job... especially since it Clearly wasn't your intention.. 😆
I mean if Info Wars can't or won't get the most basic facts right, how can people trust anything they say? 🤦🏻
Exactly what I wanted to say - but better expressed. Thanks to you both!
I love how he says it can't go over 20 and shows it towing at 73 and 40 in the video. LOL
Yeah, Alex Jones is never stopped by silly things like facts and truth.
Must be some of those kilometricans or something!
Hoovie mis-informing...."it was a really heavy load"....it basically weighed similar to an empty Uhaul trailer....lol

People already mod EVs in their garage. And built them from scratch in college. It isn't going away, it just takes a different skillset than working on carburetors etc.
The issue is car repair is a trade and should be one, EVs you need a university degree to work on them, that is a problem
“Mod” EV’s? What can you do to an EV to “mod” it outside of bodywork or interior. My Tesla S P85D was extremely limited. Boring cars to “mod”

Sue Alex for Journalistic Malpractice.
There is a LOT of towing in his videos. So it's easy to make that mistake.
Wait this isn't the "Tylers Towing" channel? Huh... now all those other videos he has of sports cars suddenly make a lot more sense.
@@lordgoofus2364 Well as often as his hoopties are getting towed..................it might as well be "Tylers towing"
Very informative as always man.
Right now the EV truck isn’t a truck for towing because, no range. Keep making you stuff man. Especially your towing videos.
Though watching Alex Jones was making me cringe. 😂
I gave a like just for the shout out to Buckee's and Texas. It's one of my family's favorite stops while traveling here in Texas. Of course, I really appreciate your honest reporting on the Lightning's deficits. Thanks!
Hoovie is prime time now. Your review of the Ford Lightning was accurate; range when towing is horrific and will worsen as the battery degrades.
Or when it gets cold, or hot, or hilly
Weird…. Here's What Happened When We Tried To Tow With The Ford F150 Lightning Electric Pickup Truck
ua-cam.com/video/aGCokwJnntQ/v-deo.html
the infowars guy seems like an idiot but I think they call that exaggeration.
It’s not just the Ford. It’s the same with ALL electric vehicles. It’s their one huge downfall.
@Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Look, I appreciate the effort, but I feel like you're wasting time with people who are aren't interested in a balanced view, but only in the negatives of something so they can apply that "fact" to an _entire_ segment that they hate, who are probably most of Hoovie's viewers tbh.
IW: He can't get above 20 mph
IW: *Shows a clip with the speedometer at 73*
And his followers couldn't care less. They'll believe the 20 mph claim, and tell a friend.
#HoovieTheCrisisActor
Yeah, there was no need to lie about it. The facts were bad enough.
Yeah. I don’t know why he said that.
@@SonnyGTA Yeah I’m thinking he probably didn’t watch the video or the clip showing 73 on the dash lol
Maybe he meant to say mpg, not mph? Since the lightning is rated at 61mpg highway, and it loses about 2.5× to 3× the range when towing, bringing it to roughly 20-24mpg... maybe?
Don't feel bad.
I know a guy who bought one in North Dakota.
Wasn't even particularly cold at 20F. He had to stop and charge multiple times to get it home 200 miles. Had to run with the heat off. He was only getting 65 miles between charges.
He returned it. The next day. Bought a truck with a V8.
The Ford lightning is garbage, and in the wrong situation, North Dakota winter driving, it could be a death trap.
there is an interesting company working on electric trailers for this kind of use case, the trailer has a battery built into it such that the trailer can supply some amount of a range boost to the pick up truck when towing. It is a really interesting idea, idk if it will work, I don't tow much, but glad people are looking into trying to solve this problem.
Still have the battery charging problem.
And lowers the actual payload
I love how at 9:11 in this video Alex is literally saying “he can’t get it above 25mph” while Hoovie turns the camera in the video and you can see 75mph on the display. 😂😂😂
Not the first lie out of Alex's mouth. Just ask the Sandy Hook parents. Or people he grew up with.
The conservatives always get stuff wrong, what else is new. They're literally subhuman.
It still took a crap in record time though.
@@IronmanV5 the sandy hook parents that have been trying to arrest Alex for how many years? Because why? He made a shitty comment about how some parents were “overdramatizing for the cameras”? He’s been proven right about 80% of the time that’s more than I can say about a lot of public figures. Alex’s point was that ev technology and batteries aren’t technology advanced enough for mass manufacturing and a forced switch from gas to electric. You’d notice how there isn’t a lot of super chargers in the world. The power grid can’t handle it. California has been experiencing rolling blackouts even though we have one of the largest solar and wind farms in the nation. Facts are facts man doesn’t matter how you feel.
@@IronmanV5 as true as that is he doesn't tell as many lies as politicians even current ones in the White House and that Alex weirdo has also been right about a lot of stuff that's why he has the following he does he knows it went over 25 miles an hour he's the ultimate troll
A real 'lightning rod' of controversy for Hoovie; he's normally a well-grounded UA-camr, not one to spark this sort of chaos
Don’t cry ohm about it. Very revolting.
IC Watt u did There. 🤣😉
But it hertz so much. Lol
This is a very polarizing comment.
Are you positive?
To be fair I see these trucks targeting the people who want a truck but do not really use it as a truck.
Those people want a truck for what it can do, not what it does do. IMO ford FKd up hard only offering a tiny 100kwh pack when my sedan is comfortable with a 77, you don’t put a 13 gallon tank on a 400hp engine. The Silverado has a 200+kwh pack and has been shown to tow a 6’ high 8’ wide 25’ long trailer loaded over three tons to go 220 miles on the freeway which doubles ford and is equivalent or outperforms the 3.5 ecoboost with the standard 23 gallon tank.
I think I will stick with petrol truck! Thanks Hoovie and Alex Jones for shining a light on the farce of EV :)
Did you even watch this? Alex Jones flat lied about the video and the truck. Hoovie was honest about its shortcomings but Jones, like always, was totally wrong.
Your reaction and response embodies the humility and good humor that has won you a solid base of viewers. WTG, Tyler.
Not this one,unsubscibed.
No, it doesn't, because he threw a fit because two groups he didn't like pointed out the catastrophic consequences of the coming EV only law. They were 100 percent right that this would hurt people, but Hoovie cries and calls it "political." Yeah, when you have a law outlawing something that is going to hurt people, it's going to be "political." But screw all the people who actually work for a living--rich Hoovie has lefty friends who won't like that he has exposed a major evil in a lefty law, so he has to cry. Alex Jones is a kook, but the whining about The Wrong Sort covering him accurately was pathetic.
O look, the butt hurt MAGA crowd found your comment.
He complains about a future without hoopties while fanboying all over the EVs! I detest the mandates, they are purely political and definitely not practical. Tyler mentions the “infrastructure bill” fixing the charging station dilemma, and it flat ass won’t. That is a pork filled bill meant to pay back political allies just like Solindra and the solar farce BS. We need push back against government involvement in EVs! Let the free market decide!
Miss your towing videos, what happened?
09:10 is perfect. "Can't get the car up above 20 some miles per hour"
Hoovie pans the camera...73 MPH.
🤣😂
It's amazing that people still want to put their political spin on crap when the source material is already factual enough that it'll get their point across without any spin necessary!!!
@@YouWillNeverKnow The issue is that conservatives never have the facts on their side so they have to fabricate a reality.

OH no, he told the truth! Something leftists aren't used to.
I think you should retest which affected the trip more: the speed or the terrible aerodynamics of what you were hauling. I bet if you put up a thick tight tarp from the front of the trailer, over and to the back like a two opposing trip angle wedges you would have gotten a huge amount of range back
Highly doubt it.
The governors of New York and California should be called out by anyone and everyone with a brain for mandating anything so radical and childish.

There's many reasons to watch Tyler's videos but the best reason is that he's always been honest with the audience about what he does.
That, and the towing reviews.
Unlike Breitbart or Alex Jones, who don't know the meaning of the word honest.
*When Lego & Star Wars first met...*
He was never honest with us about being a towing review channel DX
It's why his video was noticed. He didn't bullshit
Remember: In war, truth is the first casualty. TFL trucks got the same result.
I think the new advances in the next few years will not make huge range differences, but will make the speed of recharging much faster. If the lightning had the exact range it does now but could go 10 to 90 in 5-10 minutes it would be much more viable for towing.
Even getting from 20% to 80% in 15 minutes would’ve been a game changer.
To be fair, I don't watch your videos because everything is broken. I watch because you fix them and I love to see the cars saved.
You and i have different definitions of broken when it comes to cars. There is a 0-100 difference between cars that needs body shop and specialized equipment to fix and ones that have an oil leak that is perpetual for some cars.

Hi. Loved the video.
I wanted to point out that like many people, I do sometimes seek out negative review videos, not because I'm looking to confirm a negative opinion, in this caes of electric vehicles, but somewhat the opposite. I do like many of the aspects of electric vehicles, but videos extolling the virtures of electric tend to do just that - extol the virtues and ignore any downsides. I wan't to see an honest perspective of downsides as well so I can make an informed decision as to whether the upsides outweigh the downsides in my particular application.
I think you've provided that. -and the Engineers at Ford should not be disappointed in your video at all. They should be pleased and incorporate the information into their marketing info so they don't have a bunch of really unhappy landscapers saying ford electric vehicles are trash because the techology wasn't a good fit for their application.
Amen brother I tell my dad all the same things. We are not ready for this crap.
“The cheap plastics are well disguised” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You arent helping Hoovie!!!
Today in Hoovie’s InfoWars. Shocker: Ford uses Cheap Plastics!
😆😆😆😆
The truth will set you free.
Better than expensive plastic!🤣
"Your Focus now costs $200Gs! Nothing but the best plastic money can buy!"
Towing is the only reason I've watched this channel for the last 7 years! All of my towing questions have been answered here!!
Probably 3 years for me.
The reason you don't go 70+ towing is the tires and the mileage. Trailer tires rated that speed are very expensive, and you don't want to max it out anyway. Also, the difference between 70 and 55 is exponential not linear, as far as gas or electric mileage. To top it all off, it's flat out unsafe to go 70+ with a load like that behind you. All that being said, the Lightning is a step toward progress. We'll see what the future holds.
What about the heater? Could that put more dran on the battery? And what if say it's a cold rainy night with wipers on lights on heat on GPS on charging phone rear window defrost on. What would the range be in this scenario?

OK so 73 is the new 25mph. So that means we can only to 10 around town as that was the old 30mph and the old 50mph is now 17. I wonder how many people would be cussing me out for driving these new speeds Infowars are implying. The guy's an idiot.

This is a real push in the automotive community and the more coverage is given, the more it can move forward! There's a few open source projects for replacement control units for various modules, and slowly but surely there are more and more for other electronics! Hoopties will only be a thing of the past if we let the big players get away with their non-repair-friendly methodology!
Big yes!
You already have that right; the thing is that your rights must be exercised. You and many other people subscribe to the idea that others will exercise your rights for you, but the reality is that you must assert your rights and stick by them. If you want to know what your rights are, look at what the enemy is labeling as "sovereign citizen" and mocking - they're pushing that propaganda to keep you a slave to them.
For example, each state DMV is operating a massive fraud, because federal statutes define MOTOR VEHICLES as "a carriage...used for commercial purposes" in 18 U.S. Code § 31 (6). And yes, this applies in EVERY STATE because each state is subject to the supremacy clause of the Constitution for the United States...so it doesn't matter how states define "MOTOR VEHICLE" if it is in conflict with the federal statute, which requires "commercial use" to be a requirement.
The other big scam is tricking you into believing that your car or truck is "equipment", thus subject to registration. Equipment is something used for commercial purposes. For most people, who just use their cars/trucks for traveling in private (i.e. you are not being paid to transport goods or passengers), they are CONSUMER GOODS (durable goods) which are not subject to registration. See UCC § 9-102 (23).
Yesssss!

As long as there are cars and trucks they’ll always be someone, somewhere wanting to make it go faster, go stronger or go longer. Never worry Hoopties will always be here in one form or another.
Man I want that golf kart he was talking about. Sounds like a hell of a ride!
Tell it like it is.
I appreciate the honesty. I do not feel i will buy a new car in next 10 years, gas or electric.. price is outrageous on both. Especially if a vehicle doesnt meet fuctional requirements. Drive across Montana 20 below zero in the dark.
They did this exact same test on The Fast Lane Trucks and found the exact same results a few months back. Interesting that Hoovie got much more traction with it...
The UA-cam algorithm is a strange place. The more you question it, the more strange it becomes
Who?????
Hoovie did what Hoovie does: Sensationalized his title/thumbnail. As he says, he does that for the views.
Can’t stand TFL
Hoovie's got a larger audience.
The best part is listening to the guy say he cant get it over 25 mph and the video showing him doing 73mph LOL
Mpw
73 was the estimated range, the speed is on the left of the cluster
I'm pretty sure he meant over 20 miles of range, it is Alex Jones so yes some of it will be exaggerated either way I don't see electric being the future.
@@jhomrich89 dude it definitely went over 20miles of range lmao. Jesus
Alternative facts
Great videos! I think that a battery exchange will eventually solve the recharge problem. I also think that battery repair will be a major mechanic position in the future.
That old truck looks so much better than the new one.
Glad to see your towing review skills are finally being recognized
I love after Jones says "won't go over 20 something miles per hour" it cuts to you doing 40+
i saw 70 something right before it cut to the 40ish 😵💫💀
deadass shows him goin 70 then 40 😅
he obviously meant to say 20 miles
@@ryandriscoll1672 you might have made that argument if he said it once. But he said it multiple times, and iirc he even read it from the script at one point
He was reacting to a “news” article not the footage. “That’s almost 90 miles of range in 30 miles” clearly what he was referring to no script only an article
We're hear for "carnage." It's a little more than that. As a fellow car enthusiast, we're happy to see we aren't the only people "carnage" happens to.
The only way I see it possible is to make the roads themselves wireless Chargers
Carlos, that is a very interesting idea and shows your thinking outside the box.
No idea what that would look like, or the practicability but thanks for tossing it out there.
Who knows where an idea could take someone.
The bigger issue is what these gangster Ford dealerships are charging in markups for these!!
EXACTLY THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR MINDS!!!
Big facts
you can thank biden for the increase in cost of gm and Ford ev. they give incentives they jack up prices higher than the incentive.
Everywhere.
@@therealnynetynyne360 Sooo would that mean that all other evs would also do the same thing? Also non EV vehicles have prices astronomicaly high. Sky high prices are because of unscrupulus dealers.
You handled that very well Hoovie, just stay with the facts and call them as you see them.
This is an opportunity for Tyler to re-do his initial video, but with the Ford towing profile optimized for it that the EV rep mentioned and the drop hitch for a level load. Let's see how much of a difference it really makes!
@@ironymatt - I agree, and a perfect opportunity for Ford as well to show the pros and cons and if it works show people good easy to follow practice to maximize fuel efficiency while towing with an internal combustion truck, who doesn’t like to save money on gas.
@@ironymatt it's really not gonna change that much
@@Thai.H you're not wrong. I confess that a good part of my motivation is for Ford's PR about their EVs to be revealed as BS
A “heavy load” is FIVE antique trucks.
we actually dont claim Alex Whatshisname from inforwars as a conservative. he is that absolute worst! using horrendous spinning of information to suit HIS narritive, not conservatives.
Personally loved your video. an honest a true reflection on the use of shortcomings with electric vehicles.
It's good to have these videos come out and go viral. It forces the companies to improve.
Amen to that statement
Yep. Companies NEED honest, real world, feedback. And it can't get any better than this. The idiots that use this type of feedback for their political spin agenda are just trolls, and should be ignored.
@@davelowets Yes. The irony is that all the EV haters are making the vehicles better.
The improvement would be to go back to combustion engines and stop with this fantasy EV bs.
@@hutchison3379 They won't ever get much better. There are physical and chemical limitations that simply won't allow it. Thinking we can transition 100% to electrical vehicles is pure idiocy.
Stay strong, Hoovie. You have made something very informative. And you are genuine and humble. Those are the qualities that make a career, not just a video. Thank you!
It does not help the Conservative cause by spreading false information without checking.
It is obvious Breitbard did not watch or understand the original video.
Hoovies video says that there is lots of torque and he travels at 60 mph.
This is the type of misleading lies that Liberals are expert at..
nah fuck that what did ford pay or say to him to make him review it again LMFAO lets be honest thats what this video was
Seriously. All he did was complain about the range in his video and because Alex Jones agreed with him now he wants to defend the truck? HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Charges in 45min at a DC charge station Ford has a network of 6k+ stations and your truck can plan your charge on your trip.
I heard something about sulfur and gravity batteries being tested. Honestly I won’t stop driving my F250 7.3 Diesel until they arrest me or they impound it because I’m sure they will block registration in the future and I’m not giving up my truck. Why should I? It has low miles, it looks like new and it’s fully equipped for what I want to do. Plus I’ve put a ton of money into upgrades and I don’t plan to spend that or more again. I don’t owe a dime on it and again I am not going to give up diesel.
I suggest they stop private jets, plant trees and they eat the bugs because I’m not. I will however plant trees because we know they do pull carbon out of the atmosphere and they store it.
You did nothing but showing an honest review. Which is hard to come by no adays.
Every lightning truck review I've seen appeared to be honest to me; showing pros & cons. Do you have links showing all of these dishonest reviews you speak of?
Naw. He was sensational about it. He deserves to show up on infor wars. There are plenty of non sensational reviews of towing with EVs on UA-cam
Yet, here he is, doing damage control. Saying his real world experience, was flawed?
And that going dangerously slow on the highway, is more "realistic"?? Referencing JR Garage's video, going 50 in a 70 zone?
Seems like Ford got to, and paid off Hoovie to say nice things.
Making these an actual work truck will be a serious challenge and the engineers already knew that. Honesty wins the day.
True. But many trucks and suvs are not used as workhorses or off road, they are bought for 'lifestyle'. So while people want inappropriate vehicles just based on looks they need options that are appropriately powered.
Unborn babies shouldn't have soot particles in them (new studies confirm this is now the case) just for peoples insecurities and fashion sense.
Standardize the batteries and swap them out instead of charging on the vehicle. Solves both charge speed and battery longevity. No one cares how long paper money lasts because banks replace the old bills with new ones.
@@ctrlaltdebug battery swapping has its own set of trade offs, but NIO does do swapping.
The need to replace (second use & recycle) batteries is also often overblown. Degradation is much less of a problem than is made out to be.
Truth is, inductive charging can be added to roads such a that a tiny fraction of them could boost range while driving enough so to nEVer need to stop to charge. A few strategically placed charging lanes could eliminate the need to stop and charge, but humans still likely need to take a brake while driving many hours.
@@thebrowns5337 yeah, but many trucks are bought for trucking things. Many
Yea...the city municipality I work for just ordered 100 of these Ford Lightnings.....can't wait to see how they perform on a 9 hour work day, let alone 16+ hours during times of trouble.....gonna be a hoot!!!
its not only Ford but all EV manufacturers, that show only the most optimal mileage per Kwh. As soon you put 4 people in the car or additional weight, the mileage per Kwh, will reduce drastically. but they will not tell you!!! they should show the practical mileage per Kwh.
Its embarassing, for Ford; Alex lost his mind at conception.
Stand your ground man, you did nothing wrong.
TFL Truck also towed identical trailers behind a Lightning and a GMC Sierra (gas), and had very similar results with the Lightning ravenously devouring range, and had to be recharged after 50 miles. The GMC went round trip and only used a few gallons of fuel. So your towing experience is not unusual for this truck.
What are you Alex Jones? I went and watched the video and they got 89 miles of range. Now that is 1/3 of the total range but I'm tired of people literally just making stuff up.
I believe TFL rated the towing rage as 100 miles not 50. Still a big drop from 300. Let's not exaggerate.
@@donkey4578 he’s sighting a different review….
@@NickApex Lol if he is talking about the hill climb video they didn't start with a full charge.....
If I remember rightly, he did 30 miles each direction, that is 60miles, and decided he couldn’t do another return trip which presumably would total 120 miles. That is, he said he couldn’t do 120 miles which seems to roughly align with TFL trucks. Some people just can’t handle any suggestion that EVs aren’t everything to everyone every time yet. The fact remains that you can’t tow any useable distance for many people.
What your video shows is how there are easy ways to get caught out on range when towing, such as trailer setup, not telling the truck your towing, speed etc
Now picture the same trip on a cold rainy winter night with the heater, defroster, windshield wipers, lights, and radio on.
@@mikez6683 I've been saying this to everyone, with the size, weight and range we just aren't fully ready to ban gas yet, we must find a much more efficient way to store energy.
@@gman4141007 We dont ban anything, if the product is good enough it will phase out the old. The government forcing these things on us is just rediculous.
@@mikez6683 the automakers are being paid by tax money to force this on people. It is not about the cars.
@@gman4141007 well we got what, 10-15 years before the bans kick in? Trust me, technology has this. In the past 10 years we've made massive (over 10x) battery capacity improvements, in another 10 years? Wouldn't be surprised to see even more as more money is put into it. Give nerds actual research money, and technology sores forwards.
And imagine ALL vehicles doing the same, including police, ambulances, fire trucks, tractor trailers, not to mention emergency back up generators, heavy equipment Earth movers, ships, planes, etc...
You showed how a normal person would do some towing with a truck. Important for us casual guys who might not tow often, but sometimes have to hook up a trailer and get your kids hooptie on the side of the road. Or if you need to trailer up and get some heavy trash to the local dump.
Just all a tow truck. Your EV isn't going to make it back home unless they're just down the block.
I'm very sure that a Lightning EV can haul heavy trash to the local dump with NO PROBLEM. What affects all EVs, not just this one, and is what happened to Tyler, is carrying a fairly heavy load at high freeway speeds over a relatively long distance. Emphasis on the high speed (75+ mph) and longer distance. In a few years, the Lightning EV will probably cost less and have a higher-capacity battery option. Not everybody should be the first adopter of a first-generation electric truck.
Just not too much heavy trash and not too far to the dump and not too many times in one day.
@@calholli your just talking shit to talk shit your argument doesn't mean anything
Hoovie new sponsor "Info Wars"..... Hahahah
As an electric forklift mechanic I think the automakers made a blundering oversight by deleting transmissions from the EVs. A forklift uses a massive gearbox to gear the motor down so that a full 10k lb load is barely noticeable on it but these machines also only go 0-8mph. It is impossible for an electric motor to perform optimally over a range of 10000rpm~ with just a single reduction ratio while not either unrealistically increasing power consumption or having lack luster performance. A simple 2-3 speed gearbox would help tremendously.
The days of the Hoopies are never ending!!!
Tyler providing commentary of an Alex Jones video in which Alex Jones is providing commentary on a video Tyler produced is the full circle I never expected to see today
Hoovie-ception!
Funny thing is, if you watch where he first shows the clip of the dash, it's actually going 73 MPH!! LOL
If you divide by 3 bingo.
Infowars viewers aren't that observant. These are the people that sent death threats to the parents of Sandy Hook victims. Shame, shame
@@houseofmalachor7425 Go to 9:12of the video and tell me what the speedo readout says... I don't expect you to admit you're full of it, but that's ok. The rest of us know the truth.
@@roberth4022 lmao why are you acting all crazy.. idiot Alex Jones says it can't go beyond 25 mph or 20 mph so if you divide 73 mph by 3.. were closer to that nut jobs ideas. I've been a fan of this for a long time.. I think you mistaken what I said.
You should feel honored ypu made it onto his show. Alex jones will go down on history as one of the greats.
Lithium ion batteries can go into thermal runaway and explode & catch fire too. Don’t charge it inside your garage or near your house.
You know you made it big when you get featured on InfoWars 😂
It’s the equivalent of Weird Al covering one of your songs. Ask the rapper Chamillionire.
@@DomDeVille Good analogy, lol. It's pretty awesome (if it wasn't, he wouldn't have created a video on it).
A taste of sewer life…
I didn't know what info wars was until this. Yeah and I don't think I'll ever watch info wars as this channel has way better content to offer 😀
@@cmgtbone Alex Jones flat out ridiculously lying about what’s in the video is about the most honest he’s ever been.
We all(hopefully) really appreciate the amount of transparency you have in your videos. Nothing better than being straight to the point and sticking to facts. Keep it up.
Conservative media, what's that?
Couldn’t figure out who he talks like. Now I realize it is Jeff Goldblum. 😂
Hoovie, for your next towing test you should take a V.W. Beetle and tow the Model-T to compare:)
Brilliant comment
Lol yess
You have one job, Tyler.
A VW may do better except the hitch on a bug is bolted to the engine I had a bug with one it pulled a small boat very well .
I loved my diesel beetle. Got almost 50 mpg. Was insane. Took that thing through snowstorms, only problem it ever had was vampiric battery drain.
Some people make mountains out of molehills.
Alex Jones makes a whole different planet.
Alex Jones also makes chocolate rain
Alex Jones makes a whole separate reality for himself. Weapons-Grade narcissism is a virus among these people
But he’s right waaaaaaaaay more than he’s wrong on those whole different planets
Good to see you here
I know like the New York Times who lied about wmd (just one example) to get us into a war that lasted twenty years and cost 10s of thousands of lives! But the stuff Alex Jones says is definitely worse!
