A Tesla Cybertruck demonstrated its towing prowess by pulling a Ford F-350 pickup truck and its large camping trailer out of deep sand, in a video that has gone viral on social media. The incident highlights the electric vehicle's real-world capabilities against traditional trucks. Published on February 4, 2026, the footage shows the Cyberbeast variant succeeding where other Ford models failed.
Tesla's Cybertruck, particularly the Tri-Motor Cyberbeast model with an 11,000-pound towing capacity, has proven its mettle in challenging off-road conditions. In a video circulating widely online, the vehicle effortlessly extracted a Ford F-350 pickup and its substantial camping trailer from deep sand, where the Ford had become immobilized.
The F-350, on its own, was unable to free itself and the trailer. An attempt using a Ford F-150 also failed to budge the pair. It was then that the Cybertruck stepped in, demonstrating the superior torque of its electric powertrain by hauling both out without apparent difficulty.
The clip, originally about four minutes long, was shared by a Cybertruck owner who frequently uses the vehicle for off-roading. This particular Cybertruck features notable exterior modifications. The official Cybertruck account reposted a short excerpt, underscoring the model's performance in practical tests against internal combustion engine competitors like those from Ford.
Such demonstrations are key in validating the Cybertruck's claims amid comparisons with other electric pickups, including the Silverado EV. While official specs set expectations, real-world scenarios like this sand rescue affirm the vehicle's engineering strengths in towing and recovery.
