Towing and hauling capacities vary from brand to brand and even from trim to trim. Generally, our half-ton pickup trucks can haul about 1,700 pounds to nearly 2,000 pounds. When it comes to towing, our trucks can tow anywhere from 5,000 pounds to upwards of 10,000 pounds when fully equipped.
Half-ton trucks can weigh anywhere from 5,000 pounds to 8,000 pounds depending on the make and model. The trim package, manufacturer and other features all affect the gross weight of the vehicle.
While specialized “fast chargers” can charge a Ford Lightning from 15% to 80% in under an hour, most of the time it will take between 8 and 19 hours to fully charge a Ford Lightning. EV charging is available in three levels: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. DC fast charging and Tesla Supercharging comprise Level 3. Since more electricity is being supplied to the car, the charging process accelerates at increasing charge levels.
