1. ANSWER
Yes, the Tesla Cybertruck can tow a camper, with official towing capacities of 11,000 lbs (AWD models with 20" wheels, Cyberbeast, Premium AWD) or 7,500 lbs (Long Range/Dual Motor AWD with 18"/20" wheels), and maximum tongue weight of 1,100 lbs or 750 lbs respectively.12 Real-world range while towing varies widely by camper weight, aerodynamics, speed, terrain, weather, and model (EPA unladen range ~320-325 miles):
- Light aero camper (~3,000-4,000 lbs, e.g., Bowlus Volterra ~3,250 lbs): ~160 miles (65% highway/35% rural).3
- Medium/heavier boxy campers (4,500-7,500 lbs): 100-160 miles per charge, often ~50% range loss (e.g., 113 miles avg. over 3,400 miles towing 4,500 lb Airstream; ~115-135 miles est. for 7,500 lb trailer).4
Tesla warns towing "significantly decreases range" due to added weight/drag; use Trailer Mode for estimates, but plan frequent Supercharger stops (~every 100-150 miles realistic for most campers).25
2. EVIDENCE
- Official Tesla Specs (2026): Cybertruck site lists 11,000 lbs towing for Cyberbeast/Premium AWD; Owner's Manual details capacities, tongue weights (~10% of trailer weight), Trailer Mode, and range reduction warning: "Towing a trailer... significantly decreasing range."12
- TFLtruck Test (Feb 4, 2024): 7,500 lb travel trailer; 22-mile test used 20 kWh (~1.1 mi/kWh); est. 135 miles full battery, realistic 115 miles (123 kWh pack).4
- Bowlus Test (Apr 11, 2024): 3,250 lb aero camper; 160 miles (47% of 340-mile EPA).3
- Owner Trip (May 19, 2025): 7,000 lb camper, 381-mile round trip (half interstate/beach traffic); 350.9 kWh total (~920 Wh/mi avg.); multiple ~35-60 min charges, implying ~150-200 miles/charge est.5
- Airstream Tow (Apr 2024): 4,500 lbs, 3,400 miles total; avg. 113 miles/charge (785 Wh/mi).6
No major 2025-2026 changes; range loss consistently 40-60% vs. unladen.7
3. CREDIBILITY
9/10 – Official specs definitive; real-world tests (TFLtruck, Bowlus, owners) consistent across 2024-2025, no conflicts, though variability expected (e.g., aero vs. boxy campers, weather).12
