What the article doesn't…
What the article doesn't make clear to readers that lack towing experience or engineering skills, is that this dynamic applies to ANY TOWING VEHICLE, not just the cyber truck. Extending the hitch farther back doesn't have a great effect on pulling power, but DOES affect the towing vehicle's ability to stop and steer the trailer. In the case of cargo racks, the vertical loading becomes a torque as the venture of load moves away from the hitch frame.
