I feel like this is less true nowadays. Or at least, less of a concern.

I have a Rivian and my 400mi range gets cut significantly (down to 200 or 300, depending on the trip) when I have 7k lbs on the back, but never enough to stop me from towing. And with good charging in the area, it's a non issue. And waaaaayyyyy cheaper than diesel.

Maybe if I was towing daily, I'd feel different. Your mileage may vary. (Couldn't resist the closer!)

>Edit: btw instant torque is a game changer. You can't beat an EV on that front

Yes that's why diesel engines are superior to gas/petrol and also for efficiency. An EV with all that torque is even better.

It's the loss of range in cold or when loaded, the weight of the truck even with no load, combined all those cons. Charging stations here outside towns are sparse, it gets cold (-20C), and most of the region is flat. Someday maybe but for now I don't think a $100K EV truck is my thing.
