Yes. It was a very impressive show of the torque pulling capability of electric motors. About a year ago Tesla used their Model X to set a new Guinness World Record for being the "heaviest tow by an electric production passenger vehicle." Towing a 287,000 pound Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner plane seems like a relatively small achievement compared to 1.2 million pounds+ in this Ford EV demonstration. But of course the Model X is a regular, volume production vehicle, as opposed to the new Ford F150 EV experimental prototype. And the Model X still holds that world record. Still, the combination of Ford pouring $500 million into Rivan (with their BEV pickup and SUV), and Ford's Mach-e BEV crossover due next year, it looks like Ford still has plans to stay in the EV game despite dropping all of their PHEV cars (like Chevy) this year.
