INTELLIGENT RANGE

While you drive, your truck learns. It estimates the range while factoring in the weather, traffic, grade, payload, towing weights and more. If future conditions, such as driving in the mountains or towing your boat are predicted, estimated range is updated and you’re informed.
Actual range varies with conditions such as external elements, driving behaviors, vehicle maintenance, lithium-ion battery age and state of health.

TOW TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE

Towing just got a whole lot safer and easier. Includes Pro Trailer Backup Assist, Trailer Brake Controller, Smart Hitch, On-Board Scales, Smart Trailer Tow Connection and Trailer Reverse Guidance.
