Tesla Cybertruck's impressive towing capacity and additional information unveiled in Tesla advertisement

In 2019, Tesla introduced the world to its Cybertruck design, which has since garnered over a million reservations. The angular utilitarian truck is known for its off-roading and towing capabilities.

Now, just days away from customer deliveries, an advertisement has surfaced that outlines the Cybertruck's towing capacity. The ad, which refers to the Cybertruck as the "world's toughest truck," was discovered by Tesla enthusiast Dylan and shared on X.

The banner features a picture of the Cybertruck highlighting five key features, including the towing specifications:

Ultra-hard stainless steel exoskeleton
Shatter-resistant glass
Ultra-tough SMC bed, with a payload of up to 2,500 lbs
Adaptive air suspension with on-road and off-road drive modes
11,000 lbs of towing power

It is unclear which variant of the Cybertruck these specifications pertain to, but it is expected to be for the top-of-the-range "Performance" model, which will be equipped with a tri-motor powertrain.

Regardless, a towing capacity of 11,000 lbs positions the Cybertruck with an estimated 5-tonne tow rating, making it one of the most capable electric vehicles in terms of towing.

Recent sightings of the Cybertruck have showcased its towing capabilities. Earlier this month, a Cybertruck was observed towing a large trailer, which also carried a Tesla Model Y and a toolbox. This setup weighed more than the boat and trailer, as the Model Y alone weighs over 2,000 kg.

Another sighting took place in Florida, where the Cybertruck was seen towing a large boat. Additionally, the Cybertruck's off-roading capabilities have been demonstrated as well, with sightings of the vehicle covered in mud and conquering hills on off-roading tracks.

Tesla has kept the key specifications of the Cybertruck under wraps for a considerable amount of time, with the intention of revealing them on November 30th. This unusual approach by the company has generated anticipation among the million individuals who have placed orders. A comprehensive list of variants and their respective prices is also expected to be disclosed at the delivery event later this month.
