Towing a Trailer

*The tongue weight is the downward force that the
weight of the trailer exerts on the hitch. It must not
exceed 10% of the maximum towing capacity. Carrying a
significant amount of equipment, passengers, or cargo
in the tow vehicle can reduce the tongue weight it can
handle, which also reduces the maximum towing
capacity. Maximum towing capacity is calculated
assuming the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is
not exceeded. For GVWR, see
207).
CAUTION: Tesla assumes no responsibility for
damage or injuries resulting from towing a trailer,
for any errors or omissions in the instructions
accompanying towing equipment, or for your
failure to follow the proper instructions. Damage
caused by towing a trailer is not covered by the
warranty.
WARNING: Do not overload the vehicle or trailer.
Doing so can cause poor performance, vehicle
damage and loss of vehicle control, resulting in
serious injury.
WARNING: Do not use the trailer hitch to tow/
transport Cybertruck.
WARNING: Never operate a trailer with a negative
tongue weight, where the trailer tongue pulls
upward on the trailer hitch. Negative tongue
weights can significantly increase the risk of trailer
sway or loss of stability.
Tire Pressures when Towing
When towing a trailer, tire pressures must be adjusted to
accommodate the additional load. Keep tires inflated to
the pressures shown below (these pressures override the
pressures that are provided on the Tire and Loading
information label – see Vehicle Loading on page
Tires Cold Tire Inflation Pressure
20" All Season
20" All Terrain
WARNING: Check tire pressures using an accurate
pressure gauge when tires are cold (see
Pressures on page 184). Driving one mile (1.6 km)
warms the tires sufficiently to affect tire pressures.
Parking the vehicle in direct sunlight or in hot
weather can also affect tire pressures. If you must
check warm tires, expect increased pressures. Do
not let air out of warm tires in an attempt to match
recommended cold tire pressures. A hot tire at or
below the recommended cold tire inflation
pressure is dangerously under-inflated.

WARNING: Never attempt to tow a trailer when a
tire is faulty or has been inflated using a tire repair
kit. A temporarily repaired tire is not designed to
sustain the towing load. Towing using a faulty or
temporarily repaired tire can result in tire failure
and loss of vehicle stability.
Trailer Mode
Trailer Mode must always be active when towing a trailer.
When you connect a trailer's electrical connection (see
Electrical Connections on page
automatically engages Trailer Mode. Trailer Mode
disengages when you disconnect the trailer's electrical
connection. To engage or exit Trailer Mode manually,
touch Controls > Towing & Hauling > Trailer Mode on
the touchscreen. One of the following indicators displays
on the touchscreen:
Trailer Mode is active.
Cybertruck detects a connection for trailer
lights but Trailer Mode is disabled. It is
likely that a carrying accessory has been
connected.
Cybertruck detects a faulty electrical
connection for the trailer lights. Some, or
all, trailer lights may not be functioning.
Pull over as soon as safety permits and
inspect the trailer lights for faulty cabling
or connections. If the issue is resolved and
the red icon persists, manually turn Trailer
Mode off and on again.
Some Autopilot features, and any feature that requires
the use of the rear camera, may be unavailable when
Trailer Mode is enabled. In addition, some features may
operate differently. For example:
• Autosteer (if equipped) is unavailable. Therefore, for
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control availability, touch
Controls > Autopilot > Autopilot Activation > Double
Click. This allows you to engage Traffic-Aware Cruise
Control with a single click of the right scroll button
on the steering wheel.
• Traffic-Aware Cruise Control increases the following
distance from the car in front of you.
• The air suspension system will not make speed-based
adjustments from Medium to Low and does not
automatically raise ride height based on saved
locations.
• Side collision warnings are active but automatic
steering interventions are disabled.
