Current Ford F-150 towing capacity is 5,000 to 11,300 lbs depending on the package.

Most people probably don't need long range peak towing capacity.

Seems like the feature set could be useful to a lot of people, probably most, maybe not for you though.

Who’s the target demographic of the f150? Although it is under the lightening moniker so practicality is not a defining feature :D

A contractor or construction worker working a city wouldn't need to travel long distances between job sites.

City contractors also spend a lot of time stuck in traffic.

Doing errands between jobs sites to bring materials.

Would of loved to have this on the fleet of trucks.

If you can charge through towing one day, then all your gear continues to charge while on the road, that's another neat feature.

They shouldn’t be driving more than 5 hours a day.

My point was that a contractor or construction worker probably wouldn’t be driving an f150 lightning as it’s not really practical but it sure is fun (see the F150 SVT with its single digit city mileage as a previous example)

Sure it’s not practical for a lot of existing owners but Ford has to start somewhere and I think it’s a pretty good place to start

The tech simply isn’t there yet for your ask but if Ford waited for the day the tech arrived, they wouldn’t even be in the game

COrrect. The SVT raptor puts out 500+ ponies. No construction worker needed that, but it did pave the way for more efficient ecoboost engines (mustang has a lovely 2.5L EB engine) which power the entire ford lineup

Anyone with an RV (trailer) does.
