A Duramax owner walked into a car dealership looking for an EV because the cost of diesel was getting to be too much. Towing capacity was another concern, so he wanted to check out a Rivian, a Ford Lightning, and a Tesla Model Y.
Here's what to know
A TikTok from a dealership salesperson captured the discussion, and the Duramax driver said in the video that he was considering "maybe trading in for like, a Rivian or a Lightning," because diesel costs were up around $7 a gallon.
He said he has a camp trailer and a side-by-side that he needs to tow, so he needed a vehicle with considerable towing capacity. He said his trailer alone was 3,400 pounds.
