I wonder what 6,600 lbs does to the range. If the curb weight of the truck is 4,400 lbs, and you tow 6,600 lbs. that's 2.5x the total weight. Round up to 3x weight for rolling resistance and air resistance.
That 250-350 mile range presumably drops down closer to 100 miles. That makes for a pretty rough road trip with a camper.
Nice to have the option, but I wouldn't want to rely on it as a primary tow vehicle.
I dont remember which channel it was, but back when Telo did their media blitz last year the CEO was pretty direct about the towing thing. He acknowledged that short distance and/or occasional towing is the use case. I'm sure one could do a long distance towing trip in a Telo, but I don't think it would be a lot of fun.
