While packing and shipping this Spring’s It’s Better Outside store orders, Corey shares the surprise about how he is getting all of the orders to the post office and scares Lily a little bit in the process!
Corey’s brother got his new Tesla Cybertruck right before we arrived in Maine this year and allowed us to use it not only to make all of our deliveries but also to test out towing the RV. The reactions we got driving it around alone were pretty crazy, but people were really expressive when they saw it towing the RV!
Overall, we were very impressed with how the Cybertruck performed during our little test. The girls loved being able to look through the full sunroof back at the RV, and we were all surprised by how smooth it drove since we were maxing out its towing capacity.
Jess got a little nervous when she had to drive while Corey was droning the adventure. Everything was fine until Corey crashed the drone!
Stay tuned for next week as we travel to and explore 2 totally different sides of New York, and we share our new RV for the summer! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

Hi!!! The Hanks sent us! So excited to be a part of your journey 🤗
@@jenniferkepler4382 thank you so much for joining us! We love those guys!
Ugliest vehicle ever built.
AMC Pacer was ugly also
He's not wrong. ^^^ LOL
The Pontiac Aztek still wins that award 😂
Cybertruck looks like some group bought so sheet metal and said “let’s build truck sort of thing”.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder!
Can not get over the UGLY factor. I grew up in the 70's with muscle cars. SS Chevelle, Mach 1 Mustang, 442, just to name a few. I got a brand new '76 Trans Am half way thru my senior year, thank you dad. Not because my parents were rich, because he told me and my sister if we dug deep and did the best we could in school. He would buy us a car our senior year. We both did that but my poor father as we learned later worked so many overtime hours to make that happen for us, we missed out on time with him. Even when he would work 6 days a week, he would still take us to the lake in the boat he basically bought for us and take us skiing. Funny how later in life you understand how much your parents gave up for you, how much they did for you.
Saw a quote once." You never understand how much you love your mom and dad until they are gone". I found out !!!!!!!!
Glad you had fun. Several channels have towed on a full charge and found it to get less than 100 miles. Maybe one day it'll be a practical truck.
That is the ugliest vehicle ever invented. It looks like a joke.
Not nearly as much of a joke as a squatted brodozer with offset bicycle tires and nearly every ounce of utility removed from the truck, but I get your point.
The reason it looks so stupid is because the guy made his engineers slap something together quickly just so he could be the first to come out with an EV truck. Seriously. That thing is basically a 10 yr olds doodle.
Awesome Episode. Thank you Drew, this was a good look into the Truck. The shirts look great. If you're not crashing your drone, you're not flying your drone. Crashing is going to happen the best "captures" have the most risk of crashing. Unless you're at the beach. and the ocean is your obstacle 😂
😂😂😂 “the ocean” 🤦♂️
So my red shirt got a ride in a Tesla before I have. Cool
It sure did 😃
😂 that’s funny!
Fun, surprising episode! My son is out in Austin building the CyberTruck. They’re trying to keep up with demand working 12-hour days.
A guy with our same model Brinkley TT is towing it with his CyberTruck and doing all the testing for range, etc. I think he’s consistently gotten about 100 miles with 11k GVWR. He tows with his F350 for longer range trips. Corey, you may be onto something with your idea to tether the RV solar to the vehicle. 🤷♀️
We have a Model Y and towed our car trailer with it. Empty load but still. We got looks for sure. It's super nerve wracking to drive till you get used to it. Glad you guys could try it out!
Great video. It’s the future for sure as range increases. So fun to drive
Saw one parked at Sams Club today. While beyond ugly but dwarfed vehicles in surrounding spaces - including half ton and 3/4 ton. good to see 4 wheel turn and would need them to negotiate tight parking lot. That full glass roof brought out bad memories from last year in Italy, and luckily with concern about Italian driver stereotypes took out the optional insurance on the rental. Middle of the night had a hail storm with what sounded like baseball size hail at the AirBnB outside Verona. While had major dents and cracked windshield, Hertz couldn't replace it because all their cars were damaged by same storm so drove it to Milan for flight back. Other residents/guest in the AirBnB had far more damage, including busted out windows, in their personal car as they were Europeans. Getting back to Tesla, one guest had friends staying further north at Lake Como where the same storm totally destroyed his glass roof Tesla. Got to the Milan airport, turned in the rental...and owed nothing!
Y'all are like "The Jetsons go camping!"
Soooo cool ❤️ seems quiet inside - I would buy it if I could afford it & love the space age exterior.
I don't hate it, I don't Like Someone Telling Me I Half To Buy One. I Would Rather Have A Gas car Because I Like Filling It Up Once A Week and You Can Get Gas Anywhere. It Looks Cool As Heck And It Sounds Like Fun. A Bunch Of You Tuber's Have Tried Them. And The Winabego Electric RV. Range seems to be The Only Issue.
The truck is....unique. 😉
I've grazed several trees with my DJI Mini 2, including in the Yukon last summer. It actually fell from quite a distance, but I recovered it, and it worked perfectly. They're remarkably durable.
Amazing channel, need to find time to binge watch with my wife/kids. Great work cnick!!
Zeustribe,
Thanks, man! I saw Cnick and did a double take 🫣 nice to see you on the other side!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing the new truck for those of us who will never be able to afford it! lol. I can’t wait to see how y’all are enjoying your summer! Be safe out there!
aka…Our Traveling Nest
I’ll see what you say at the end of the video, but starting off-I hear that is the worst excuse for a truck ever made.
Something that has to be addressed for EV towing is the fact that charging stations are not built for trucks with trailers, etc. Every time you charge up you will have to disconnect, drive over to charge station and then charge and reconnect.
Pilot/Flying J is adding EV chargers designed to accommodate towing, it's still early but we'll get there eventually.
Precisely. Existing lithium battery technology just isn't going to cut it due to the long charging time. Driving 2-3 hours followed by 2-3 hours charging isn't going to work for most people towing long distances.
Thanks for taking us along!
We just saw one at Myrtle Beach state park & had no idea it was a truck. I wasn’t a fan of the exterior either but I figured it would be cool inside. Im so shocked it tows that much. Thanks for all the info. Great video
It’s a unique truck for sure! Yeah 11k is a lot!
I wonder how it would feel backing an Rv with four wheel stearing. Also I have noticed locally that electric vehicles that don’t use the brakes but just decelerate no brake light go on. I think that could be a potential rear end collision given how quickly electric motors slow down. Thanks for taking us on a towing test drive.
was wondering the same thing too. wouldnt want to be following the rig. nothing more annoying than no brake lights
They have to put on the brake light when deceleration exceeds a certain value, it's a NHTSA requirement.
@@andrewfidel2220You mean tell us someone at NHTSA had already thought about that potential problem before deceleration electrics were allowed on the road?? Wow.
@@chsmithins hybrids have been doing regenerative braking for nearly 30 years at this point, so yeah =)
Found y’all from happily hanks y’all are awesome
Yes electric trucks are just not ready for towing. Also currently in most cases your would have to disconnecvt your trailer to be able to charge.
Hi, The Hanks sent us. happy to be here😊
Hanks are awesome, Discovery Bound Rv, love them also.
Have seen 2 of these trucks in So Cal. One is my neighbor’s. Going to take a while to get used to the looks of it. Looks like it would be fun to drive.
We tow our trailer (although only 5,500lbs) with a 1/2 ton hybrid. It has great torque and in my opinion is the best of both worlds for a light RV. I get great mileage in the city while it takes advantage of the electric motor but have the range needed when doing bigger trips. I share your opinion about the interior of the CyberTruck but am not a fan of the exterior. Until battery range increases exponentially, they are not viable for anyone that wants to drive more than 2 hours at a time.
Cory, you look like me. A V-8 duel exhaust kid of guy. Have had those my whole life. Now I have a '23 Hybrid Tundra V-6 Twin Turbo. 437 HP, way more than my old V-8 F-150. Changing times.
Miss the sound of my old V-8 duel exhaust. Will miss people driving their own cars. Self driving cars, what happens when the GPS goes out because of clouds. You get driven into a tree or back of a semi. Will never trust them. I am waiting for but will never see. BEAM ME UP SCOTTY, ENERGIZE !!!!!!!!!
❤😂😂❤ The girls look like they did when they were pre-teens sitting back there. I can just see their feet hanging off the end of the seats. It's adorable but I'm sure they don't think so. 😂😅😂 ❤❤❤. The truck isn't my cup of tea. I prefer the late 50's, early 60's trucks, the real Detroit stuff, not the fluff they're serving up now a days. An engine I can wrench on, or take it to a, if they pass the test, trusted mechanic.
COREY MICHAEL!!!!!! LOL Looks good.
That thing is the most unserious vehicle since the unicycle. Way better and way less ridiculous options on the EV market.
Such a fun experiment to watch. Diesel/EV hybrid? Solar regeneration? We’ll see what the future holds. Happy, safe travels to you!
I think of the Jetsons cartoon I used to watch when I was little when I see the cyber trucks🤣. They’re cool looking vehicles 👍🏿
Great video!
That was very interesting. Thanks. ♥ 🇨🇦
Curious to know if the trailer breaks activate when you let off the gas.
If you let off the accelerator, and that simulates braking, does that actuate the brake lights on the trailer, or are you slowing down, without giving drivers behind you any indication?
Yes the lights aluminate just like actually hitting the brakes, I had the same question!
The girls look like they are sitting in one of those huge chairs! So surreal!
I have never been an Electric vehicle person. But I was really impressed with Cyber truck. I work at a Freightliner shop and they are working with Electric trucks now. Great video stay safe and most of all live life to the fullest and have fun.
I can see electric coming along within 10 years for RVing. The infrastructure across the country has to catch up. I do like the idea of using the camper solar system to augment the tow vehicle. So, there are ways ahead. But, I'm glad we have options now. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah 2k plus in solar panels on the roof could charge that puppy up!
@@FindingOurSomeday It would be slow. 2 kilowatts of solar output is under 2% of the Cybertruck's capacity. Over the course of a bright summer day, they would only replace about 10-12% (at best) of the truck's capacity (about 10-12 miles of driving while towing, per your test). Those are some big batteries to charge.
just wondering if ..when towing a trailer with solar is there a way to "back feed " power back into the truck ??
I'm sitting here in a campground in Statesville, NC. Reading the rules and regulations. I come across this jem. Electric Vehicles can not be charged on any RV site. A fine of $500. will be charged to violators of this rule.
This is to cool. For camping around in state, it would be great and work fine. I could charge it at home, pull to campground in state, then charge the truck at the campsite. So, from a fuel cost, this might be a big savings. Even going out of state to let's say the Smokies, I would only have to charge it once on the way which is no big deal. You guys are great.
Definitely doable with proper planning! Have a great rest of the day !
Sorry but you wont be charging battery vehicles at the Campgrounds because they are not allowing them to be charged
For what it is, the Cyber Truck is pretty cool. I'm not a huge EV fan whatsoever, but I would mind driving it around town.
That's all they are good for. To drive around town and get waves and looks.
It’s perfect for my brothers needs, and a hoot to drive!
These are fun to see & the shape reminds me of the 1980s DeLorean...
I’m sure that was some inspiration for it !
Everyone has an opinion on the esthetics of a vehicle. I personally love the Cybertruck. The range is the drawback so that stops me as I love off grid camping out in the booneys. For years into the future, charging stations, even in suburban areas, are going to be an issue if you are away from your home. The interior looks amazing but I'm curious as to what Lily & Leila think about the back seat ride after years in the GM pickup.
I think it could work if you're bouncing around locally. We live on the East Coast, so if you keep it within that 150-mile range, you'd be okay. I also wouldn't pull our RV with it, something lighter like a Airstream Base Camp, or something in the Jayco 172 size, GeoPro, etc might work.
Did I see your brother with this truck in Waterville Maine last week? It is AWESOME!!!
It could have been him!
Luckily, I have never crashed my mini three. I thought for sure that your drone was done. Thanks for the video.
I LOVE it...cant wait till they aere built for long distance on charge...it is the future!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
How was backing up with the trailer?
I seen one of those Tesla Cyber Trucks on I65 going south in Louisville Kentucky on July 4th. I was in my 2500HD Duramax and it was flying through a 55 MPH zone. LOL
Can it be charged with the generator you use for an RV?
Pretty cool! Don’t hate it.
Hello, the Hanks sent us! :) Subscribed and will check out your channel. All the best to your family. Be safe out there.
Did I miss it in the video, how far did you go and what was the mileage towing your RV?
I have seen the Cyber truck several times here in SoCal, and initially, they didn't appeal to me, but I have to say I liked the way it looked with your trailer. I'd like to see what it would look like with my Heartland Bighorn connected. I also think it would be awesome if there was a way to recharge the batteries while traveling.
im hopefully going to upgrading to a diesel pickup, waiting to hear what the axle gear ratio is before i go for it. time to put less wear and tear on my half ton
So it can tow 11k lbs and also take load in the bed, so with a 5th wheel configuration, you could tow a 14k lbs 5er. As long as both the tow weight and truck bed weight isn’t surpassed?
In theory yes, but I don’t think you can put a 5th wheel on the cyber truck🤷♂️
Great episode! Nice review on the Cyber Truck. You gave good common sense thoughts on where it can work and where it just isn’t quite ready yet. I love the fact your shirts are a family project and you use your brother’s company to print your them.
Did you tow with AC on or Off? Why no highway travel at highway speeds.
I would like more information on how that cyber track does with towing trailer on hills & mountains. I just cant see it towing anything thru the rocky mountains. I agree, i think around town it would be fine. But in areas of our country that some towns are 100's of miles apart or if you live in rural, back country, you'd have to find a charging station before you could turn around & go home. As well as how the batteries don't do well in cold & extreme heat. More research and refinement needs to be made, as well as the cost needs to come down before most people would buy! But, thanks for your fun video. Beautiful photography!
I be so glad when i get mine
So if you need a charge do you have to unhitch the trailer?
Depends on the charging location but probably.
We are on the Oregon coast and saw a cyber truck towing an airstream. We didn't get a picture. They were pulled over and we couldn't stop.
Fun video guys. Personally, I wouldn't have a Cybertruck. It doesn't match my needs (range) and I don't care for the design or the stainless exterior. Reminds me of my frdige and it's enough of a chore keeping that looking good. Given your zeal to keep your white GMC clean, I think keeping this truck clean would drive you crazy 🤣 As you suggested, you'd have to get it wrapped.
How about finding charging stations? Your trailer weights less 11,000lbs?
A refrigerator on wheels😬 while hooked to your trailer, does the truck have a trailer braking mode (setting) and a similar GM Stabilitrak system🤔 Just think, all wheel steering while backing your camper into a site 😳😎 Truck side view mirrors should be able to slide out more, so you can see 'down" the side of your camper 🤔
I crashed mine when it lost connection and it hit a telephone pole and some how stuck to the pole. I fixed it but have not as yet flown it again.
Hello The Hanks sent me 🎉
@@KimHenderson-NC we are so happy to have you! The Hanks are the best!☺️
Problem is you’ll have to charge it in about 150-200 miles with that load
100% It's absolutely ridiculous, whether it be Elon's junk truck or Ford's Lightning junk. Nobody who's serious about towing would ever buy something like this.
Extended range system goes almost 600 miles. Pulling would most certainly lower that some.
30 gallon of diesel at 9-10 mpg is 270-300 miles. Sounds pretty reasonable to me
@glengronewold2274 my Chevy Duramax will tow our camper 300 plus miles. I pull in and fill up, get a drink and use the restroom. All done in 20 minutes. How long does it take to charge to get a full charge?
Probably more like every 120 miles
@@glengronewold2274it takes a long time to charge it. Not exactly easy or reasonable to unhook and charge at these locations. It’s useless when it comes to tow for camping.
I wanna find someone trying to charge the CT at a charge station while towing something. No one has done that yet that I've seen. Are there pull thru changing stations?🧐
That's just way cool, but not very practical for full time RVing, like you said. I was impressed with how much cargo space it had. From the outside it doesn't look like it would hold much. Thanks for the FOS review!
Be 4 drones we had radio control aircraft a friend of mine purchased one it was a gas helicopter he had to assemble it which he did and was very proud of it how ever it was short lived as he thought it wood be a good idea to start it up in his lounge witch he did with the rotor blades attached so it started and took of straight into the lounge ceiling bring the ceiling down and the light fittings shorting out house electrics smashed the TV and wrecked the sofa and spill it fuel everywhere 😢 not happy
Your girls look like there in so much space and so relaxed in the back seat.
Are you sure your trailer is 11k lbs? Mine is 34' and is only 7500lbs GVWR. Not that it matters, just caught my attention when you said it. Great video, thanks for the content!
We’re 35.5 and reflections are heavier to start with , but we have added a lot of stuff… full solar setup, auto level, upgraded suspension, disk brakes , and renovated the interior. We’re also full time so we carry a lot of crap🫣😂
That was very interesting. I think it would certainly fail on the road because of the battery and the time to charge. It is ugly too...
Corey looked like a kid in a candy store. Fun and interesting to watch.
Did you know their were 3 museum's in Cartersville, GA that were tied to the Smithsonian?
Booth Western Art Museum
Savoy Car Museum
Tellus Science Museum
All this 30 minutes away from your uncles bus company in Rome, GA.
Blue Angles, Rome, GA . OCT. 18 & 19th. ROME, GA BE THERE OR BE SQUARE !!! So says the 1970's slang. Boy, that was bad.
Others don't recommend towing with the cyber truck unless you want to make a lot of charging stops.
There is an electric truck that has enough range for towing. Rivian R1S. Depending on what battery pack you get, you can get 375 to 440 on a charge. Cheaper than the cyber truck.
You can go to the rivian factory and they will let you test drive. I think they might let you tow, but one of them would be with you.
Problem is, there are hardly any pull through charger stations. You can't charge while driving.
Most charging stops are 25 to 40 min up to 80%.
Detailed information is on "out of spec" channels on RUclips. The ones will be reviews. The range test, motors. Note: most are between 1 and 2 hours. Some are longer.
@findingoursomeday trying to find the blue truck rear suspense "bumpers" you installed on the Sierra but can't find the video to look up product. Help. #loveyourvids #inspiration
They are call sumo springs I have the 2 piece design “SSR-203-40-2”
@@FindingOurSomeday awesome thanks
Is this your new tow truck?
Corey I have two drones one is a very expensive DJI mini and a cheap one I bought on Temu just for testing , now the cheap one I bought I was testing in my garage and somehow it just went nuts and was crashing into everything and and I had no control over this crazy thing lol needless to say I don’t use this one very much and absolutely don’t use it in the garage anymore lmao
We were in Spanish Trail RV park in Moab, UT and I crashed my Mavic 3 into a power line! Stupid part was I saw the lines and thought I was above the highest line. I hit the line and it broke the camera mount so the camera was hanging underneath the front of the drone. The drone carried on flying so I brought it back to land. DJI was terrific with their service. They replaced the drone and I got the new one in a week.
Can u put a fifth wheel hitch init?
Interesting, and I really do think Elon Musk must have watched the Jetsons too. While watching this video I couldn't stop thinking about the survivability rate of this electric vehicle/truck in an accident - that's a lot of glass!
We've seen one in High Springs FL area twice now same area.
Its a cool concept.. But not for real world application, I don't think it can match up to a diesel. Yes, around town for short hauls maybe. One thing you didn't mention, How long will it take to charge it? I hear it takes a long time to charge.
A family in our neighborhood has one. The exterior is not the best. Rivian has trucks that look like our current trucks do. Not sure if performance is any better
What drone do you have? I got a cheap one to practice with and I’ve crashed it into trees. 😂😂. Would like to upgrade it though and film while we’re camping. I’ll just keep practicing with the cheap one.
I currently have a DJI Air2S , I almost upgraded to the Air3 , but somehow the thing righted its self mid air 😜
Well, I’m looking at the Air3 online and it has obstacle sensing. 🤣🤣
I love my shirt!
I dont hate the cybertruck, but they're ugly (all the teslas are imo)
I crashed my drone on our first trip into a creek. The kids retrieved it, let it dry out, and its still working.
I have air suspension on my '23 Tundra, love it. Love it levels your truck after you hook up your load. But, in that thing. If you run low, you can not just pull into any gas station and fill up. There are so few places to recharge and if you can. Do you want to spend couple of hours recharging? That is one of the things the infrastructure package is supposed to help with. Also the battery companies are not going to get EV going until they get charge times down to 30 minutes or less. Tell me this. If you had to pull in and charge up. Would you buy an EV where very time you had to stop, 2 hours ? Or would you get a gas or hybrid. 5 minutes you are on your way ?
I am not dissing EV, just the infrastructure is not there yet. Battery charge times is not there yet. It will be, just not at the moment.
I wonder how it does on hills.
It's pretty cool, but I'll hang with my diesel dually. lol.
Yup, diesel💪
That was funny when Lily was talking and videoing Corey while he drove the truck! The boxes all made it to the post office but how many packages were lost enroute?
All packages arrived, Jess and I did loose one package and had to turn around though🫣
I wondered about that too. Lots of loose cardboard flaps on the back of that "truck." :)
I noticed you ducking your head down a lot while looking out the windshield. Is the visibility not great for someone who is taller?
Diesel electric would be the way to go. Engine runs at its peak efficiency point and instant torque of electric. Seems to work well for locomotives.
Stelantis is using the 3.6L V6, easier and cheaper to keep it updated for US emissions laws.
Dodge is going to build one with a gas engine.
We saw one on the interstate up in Ohio a couple of weeks ago.
