I’m looking at getting an enclosed cargo trailer, primarily to act as a mobile garage/storage that I can pull with the Lightning. I know weight isn't the real issue for these trucks, but aerodynamic drag is the range killer.

I'm trying to decide on the dimensions and profile. I am heavily leaning towards a 6x12 with a V-Nose profile to try and cut through the air a bit better and save on battery drain.

Here is the exact profile and ride height of the model I'm considering: https://makemytrailer.com/6-x-12-enc...cargo-trailer/

For those of you already towing enclosed trailers with your Lightning:
  1. Does the V-nose actually make a tangible difference in your mi/kWh efficiency compared to a flat front?
  2. With a 6-foot width, does it sit cleanly behind the truck's slipstream, or are you still seeing massive range drops at highway speeds (65mph+)?
Trying to calculate my real-world range before I pull the trigger. Thanks for any input!

However, I'm still stuck with my '04 F250 6.0 as a work truck. The four doors on the Lightning are superflous for my use, but could live with those. However, when I checked with TommyLift, they said they have never made a unit for the Lightning. Anyone ever seen a liftgate on a Lightning? It's a must for me; a truck without a liftgate is an awkward toy and definitely not a work truck.
