Towing difference between AWD and Cyberbeast?

[Great Bay Shark]

After watching a bunch of Cybertruck videos on Youtube it seems like the AWD Cybertruck is mostly rear wheel drive biased, with the front axle only getting power from the single induction motor under acceleration. On the other hand, the Tri-Motor Cyberbeast has the 2 induction motors in the rear, so if you're just driving along at a constant speed, the power comes from the permanent magnet motor in the front until you accelerate at which point the rear axle kicks in.

How do these 2 different setups affect the handling of the truck, especially in terms of towing a 25 foot camper or boat? It would seem that a RWD-biased Cybertruck would be much better for things like towing, because you want power to go to the axle that's carrying more of the weight of the trailer. That way you will get better traction uphill, without the risk of spinning the front wheels.

Unlike most CT buyers, I *am* going to be using my CT for towing a camper and a boat so this subtle (or maybe not so subtle) difference would definitely factor into my Cyberbeast vs AWD decision. I have not yet decided if I want the Foundation Series (I did get my invite about a week ago) or if I should wait for the AWD price to come down so it qualifies for the $7500 federal credit.

Any thoughts?

Another possible consideration is that the AWD should have a slightly higher payload than the Cyberbeast, and should therefore handle more tongue weight.

Payload = GVWR minus curb weight. Both models have a GVWR of 9,169 pounds.

The advertised curb weight of the AWD is 6,669 lbs. Payload would therefore be 2,500 lbs. This matches the maximum payload as advertised by Tesla.

The advertised curb weight of the Cyberbeast is 6,898 lbs. Payload would therefore be lower (by 229 lbs or about 9%) at only 2,271 lbs.

Have not seen any actual Cybertruck payload stickers, so don't know if the real-world curb weights match the advertised numbers. Any added options, like the spare tire and especially the range extender, would increase the vehicle weight and simultaneously decrease the available payload.
