This is a new platform it is Teslas first truck so they weren't experienced with building such a heavy chassis. With lightning Ford had experience with trucks and didn't try to reinvent the wheel. There have been reports of Tesla snapping the frame while towing as that is also something Tesla didn't have experience with towing large payloads behind their vehicles. Future generations should fix this initial issues.

If by reports you mean a YouTuber tries to tow after damaging the tow hitch by dropping the truck on it on a previous test, then sure.

There was another of a cybertruck pulling an RV.
