- Telo raised the tow rating on its MT1 electric truck to 8,000 lbs, up from the previously advertised 6,600 lbs
- Telo says months of real-world towing tests convinced the company the MT1 can safely pull more than its size would suggest
- MT1 is a 152-inch compact electric truck whose new 8,000-lb tow rating now exceeds expectations for its class
Why it matters: The 1,400-pound increase in tow capacity positions the MT1 as a more competitive option in the lightweight electric truck segment, where payload and towing capabilities are key decision factors for commercial and outdoor users. This revision, based on empirical data rather than lab estimates, may strengthen buyer confidence in startup Telo’s engineering claims.
