Hi, does anyone knows if Ford has annonce the towing capacity of the mach e... Tesla model X has a 5000 pounds.

Not for North America.

750kg

750kg

It's good to see that is what Ford UK is also telling people on Twitter

Maybe we’ll get 1500 pounds in the US? We can hope.

That should be possible since 750 kg is 1653 pounds.

Possible but very different standards in US and Europe. It's more likely it will be lower in the US.

Here's a video someone posted on the Mach E Forum about why they are so different. Much of it relates to towing speeds but also just differences in standards. Get ready to geek out on towing:

As long as I can tow my small trailer with my go-kart I'm happy

I didn't realize how different the standards are. But I would imagine Ford kept that in mind with the Mach-E.

No doubt. The question is if Ford will even rate it for towing and provide a tow hitch option in the US. At least one source has said towing would only be an option in Europe.

Great video! Thanks for posting.

L soucis c'est que même en Europe nous n'en savons pas plus à ce sujet , comme beaucoup d'autres d'ailleurs. Que ce soit Ford France où mon concessionnaire, ils font la sourde oreille. Si ça continue je vais finir par annuler ma réservation et aller voir chez Tesla ou Jaguar

The worry is that even in Europe we don't know more about it, like many others. Whether it is Ford France or my dealership, they are turning a deaf ear. If this continues I will end up canceling my reservation and go see Tesla or Jaguar

If anybody watched the Ford webinar videos, I noticed in the design question that someone asked if there will be an option for a hitch, to which the moderator replied yes there will be an option for a hitch for a bicycle rack, etc... Pricing left up to dealer, but yes there will be a hitch according to Ford.

I thought he said he expected the aftermarket to offer solutions.

Watch the chat window on the right. its mentioned there.

Thanks for this information. I'm currently checking towing equipment and parts at 4WheelOnline. At least I have a good idea which I should get to tow a small trailer.
