Two Bit da Vinci takes electric towing over the Sierra

Ricky pairs his Silverado EV with a borrowed Pebble Flow camper for a Burning Man trip that exposes charging-station headaches.

What did you think?

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 3:03Ricky explains why onboard energy and regenerative braking matter when comparing electric and gas-powered towing.
  2. 7:23Charging in Reno requires unhitching the camper because the station layout cannot accommodate the complete rig.
  3. 15:46A pull-through charging station in Fernley lets Ricky charge without removing the trailer.
  4. 17:48The Pebble Flow tour demonstrates motorized leveling, adjustable window tint and furniture conversion.
  5. 22:59Route statistics break down the journey's towing efficiency and energy use.
  6. 25:16Ricky previews a retrofitted Hi-Lo trailer project designed to improve aerodynamic range.

Unhitching a camper just to charge the truck is not quite the road-trip convenience Ricky had in mind. In Reno, the charging-station layout demands exactly that. Later, a pull-through station in Fernley lets him keep the whole rig together, a small design difference with a large effect on the journey.

That practical contrast gives "2000 Mile Towing Test on my new EV Truck - NOT What I Expected..." its substance. After years driving electric cars, Two Bit da Vinci's host buys a Silverado EV and borrows a Pebble Flow camper to cross the Sierra Nevada toward Burning Man. It is also his first experience towing, which adds a learning curve to the engineering exercise. The video includes a sponsored tire segment.

Mountain descents put regenerative braking to work, while the campsite tour reveals the camper's motorized leveling, adjustable window tint and convertible furniture. Ricky makes a case for the premium technology, but viewers keep returning to its price and the shortage of trailer-friendly charging bays. Several bring their own electric-truck towing experiences into the discussion.

The trip is the most watched of two new uploads, reaching roughly 80,000 views. The other, "The BIGGEST CO2 Battery on Earth Just Went Online - But...", moves from road-trip energy to grid storage, examining efficiency, space, cost and competition from lithium and sodium-ion batteries.

Across the channel, the older "The Cheapest Way to Go Solar in 2026" carries the most momentum. Its EcoFlow home-system installation, presented with promotional offers, has passed four million views. Subscriber numbers were unchanged over the week, and daily channel views are a little below usual. Weekly views nevertheless sit in the upper part of the nearby technology group, close to Matt Wolfe's total.

Ricky ends the towing film with a different camper project: a retrofitted Hi-Lo trailer aimed at improving aerodynamic range.

What viewers say

  • I love my Silverado EV; best truck I have ever owned. It tows like a beast. Mine has the extended range because I wanted the 12,500 lb towing capacity for towing horse trailers. The range is not an issue for where I am towing, but even when I did tow a distance, it was not awful; I got lucky and never had to disconnect the trailer.

  • I used to run a Hi-Lo back in the'80s. I love that camper ,little wind resistance and a dream to set up at camp. Mine was an older one that was a little heavy. The newer ones got a little lighter. I look forward to see what you can do with the Hi-Lo restoration. Thanks for another great video.

  • Thanks for pointing out limitations with towing and stopping to charge. More drive through (pull through) bay layout charging are needed. Apart from trucks long distance electric semi-trucks will be major customers.

  • Trailers are a pain to deal with. What I really want is an electric off-road RV van like the Winnebago Revel.
    @djp1234See it on YouTube
  • We need to see more pebble type trailers and then it will make EV towing very easy as it can share the load. Great video and amazing to see how well the Pebble worked.

  • OMG you brought a new vehicle to Black Rock City? I once drove a new Acura there and could NEVER remove all the alkali dust. EVER.
