How To Tow An EV Properly

Driving an electric vehicle, such as a VinFast, as your everyday car is a great way to save time by avoiding stops for gas, dealing with the harsh sounds and smells that come from a gas engine, and the maintenance is significantly less. There’s no need to change the oil, the brakes last longer, and your drive is overall quieter and more peaceful. The amount of time and money you save charging from home also makes an EV extremely cost-effective, especially with gas prices being so inconsistent.

The Average Daily Commute

The average driver in 2025 puts about 35-40 miles on their car per day. With the VF8 offering a range of 235 to 256 miles and the VF9 offering a range of 291 to 330 miles, both crossovers are perfectly suited for more than just your daily commute.

RVs and EVs

So, let’s say you have an RV or are considering buying one, and you would like to tow your vehicle or purchase a vehicle that can be towed. People with RVs typically tow a smaller vehicle so that when they arrive at their travel destination, they can drive the smaller car, truck, or SUV around town to get groceries, go out to eat, or meet up with friends. An EV makes a lot of sense since it’s quiet when driven in an RV park or camping grounds, and has excellent range to do what you want or need to do.

Towing An EV Is Different

However, an EV is slightly different when it comes to towing. It’s typical to see a vehicle being flat towed behind an RV, which means a vehicle that’s being towed with all four wheels on the ground. Basically, it appears to be following too closely to the RV in front of it. However, you can’t really do this with an EV for multiple reasons.

Why It’s Different

An EV generates a lot of heat when the motor(s) are on, and the wheels are spinning, which is why EVs have coolers and cooling functions to keep the batteries from overheating. When you are towing an EV, those functions aren’t turned on, so the cooling system will likely not be working properly to cool the batteries as the wheels are spinning. Additionally, electric vehicles typically lack a neutral gear in their one- or two-speed transmissions. Therefore, towing could cause damage to the vehicle’s drivetrain.

Towing Your VinFast Properly

So, then, how exactly can you tow your VinFast behind your recreational vehicle? Simply put, if you are towing an EV, it is best to use a flatbed trailer, similar to what you would rent from U-Haul or another company. This is a trailer with four wheels that you can safely strap your EV onto.

VinFast Vehicles Offer the Best Warranties

VinFast vehicles each carry the world’s best warranty, which you will not find with any other car. When leasing or buying a new VinFast, buyers will receive a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, along with a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. These warranties demonstrate VinFast’s commitment to earning customers’ trust, not just in electric vehicles, but also in the brand.

VinFast Shows Off Brand New Electric Buses

Electric vehicles are a big part of the automotive future, and VinFast is one of the companies leading the charge. The company has introduced its first-ever all-electric bus, which will change how people ride the bus, thanks to advanced safety and technology. More so, companies like VinFast are planning for a more environmentally friendly future.

All-New Buses with Great Range

The introduction of the first-ever VinFast EB8 and EB12 showcased large battery capacities up to 422 kWh with 250 miles of range. Both can also fast charge at 140 kW and be back on the road within 3 hours. Transit buses usually drive around 100 miles daily, meaning riders won’t have to worry about range anxiety on the way to their destination.

Better Quality of Life

Electric buses are great for improving both air and noise quality in city areas. While mass transit is essential to reduce road congestion and make it easier for people to get around town, buses are notoriously loud and dirty from their diesel exhaust.

Advanced Tech and Safety Features

Drivers of the new VinFast buses will appreciate having advanced safety features included that will make it easier to operate them. These features include Blind Spot Detection, Drowsiness Detection, Intelligent Speed Assist, and Forward Collision Warning. Passengers will love the included WiFi, infotainment systems, USB charging ports, and a vehicle kneeling system that uses air suspension to lower the bus at stops, allowing riders to get off and on more easily.

Production Capacity

VinFast has the ability to produce between 1,500 and 2,000 buses annually. The company is also able to produce up to 500,000 cars a year in its current production facilities.

A Word from VinFast

The chairwoman of VinFast, Madam Le Thi Thu Thuy, said about the new EB8 and EB12 buses, “Beyond individual electric cars, we are building a comprehensive green transformation ecosystem to make electrified transport more accessible than ever. With an increasingly diverse product range, we are confident we can contribute to creating a zero-emission transport system and a cleaner, greener life …”

Car Testing Mom Gives the VF 9 a Week-long Family Road Test

New VinFast VF9 Front View

Growing families inevitably mean that the family car will grow as well. Generations ago, this could have meant transitioning from a sedan to a station wagon. Today, we are all essentially driving wagons with our crossovers and SUVs, so the transition is more likely to be from a two-row to a three-row SUV. The latter can seat six, seven, or sometimes eight people securely and comfortably, though the comfort for adult passengers in the third row can vary significantly depending on the model.  

Family Road Trip - Testing the VF9

The downside of all this space is usually mpg, as the vehicle size and the powerful engine needed to haul it can make these vehicles quite thirsty. One possible fix for that is the 3-row EV, which is far more efficient than its gas-powered counterparts. The VinFast VF 9 is one of the few 3-row SUVs on the market. Since these vehicles are often driven by moms, Jana Askeland, host of Real Mom Car Tours videos, drove the VF 9 for a week to share her impression of whether the VF 9 has what it takes to be the vehicle for American families. Ewing VinFast of Plano provides the highlights of her review.

With an exterior by Italian design firm Pininfarina, the VF 9 has a remarkably clean look on the front, rear, and profile, where the C-pillars taper in the middle to display the brand’s “V” logo. Fake vents, unusual trim pieces, or unnecessary character lines are absent everywhere. As a nice and unique touch, the key fob matches the vehicle’s exterior color. 

The inside is similar, with a 15.6-inch screen covering most of the controls, including permanent climate controls on the lower edge for instant access. The traditional gauge cluster has been replaced by a head-up display that is standard across the model line. Redundant driver information can be found on the upper left of the screen.

Interior Dash and Steering Wheel in the New VinFast VF9

Mom drivers aren’t known for their lead feet. However, Jana still found the VF 9 impressive when acceleration is needed with 400 horsepower and 447 lb-ft of instant torque, enabling a transition from still to 60 mph in just over 6 seconds. Unlike the VF 8, both the Eco and Plus have the same power and dual motors for all-wheel drive.

Range on the VF 9 is an EPA-estimated 287 miles, and the combined MPGe (energy equivalent of miles per gallon) is 68, a figure nearly three times higher than what you’ll find on any gas-powered 3-row SUV. As with any EV, ownership is ideal when you can charge at home. But when you charge on the road, the VF 9 is estimated to go from 10% to 75% in about 31 minutes. This will give you 186 miles or about two and a half hours of driving at 75 mph before you reach 10% again. While this may not match gas-powered rivals, road trips with kids rarely go for two hours between stops anyway.

The test vehicle was a Plus trim with second-row captain’s chairs, accommodating a total of six passengers. Jana demonstrated how easy it is to access the third row using the tilt-tumble function of the second row seats, which creates plenty of space for entering and exiting the third row. Third-row passengers have access to charging ports and large windows to the outside, while the Plus model features a glass roof that extends overhead.

In the meantime, first- and second-row passengers can enjoy heating, and on the Plus trim, ventilation, and even a massage function with multiple settings, which by itself should keep the kids entertained. When stopped, you can watch videos downloaded from YouTube or game apps on the large center screen. All models feature a wireless smartphone charger, Wi-Fi connection, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Cabin storage spaces are plentiful, and dropping or raising the rear seats is simple. At the same time, the VF 9 is a luxurious place to spend time, with the large center screen, attractive vegan leather that looks and feels great, electric door releases (with manual backup), and that truly impressive glass roof on the Plus.

Jana unsurprisingly considers safety a top priority and is supported by the VF 9’s comprehensive suite of standard safety and driver assist features across the entire model lineup, including:

Lane Keeping Assist, Centering, and Departure Warning
Forward Collision Warning
Blind Sport Detection with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Adaptive Cruise Control
Intelligent Speed Adaptation
Emergency Lane Keeping Assist
Highway and Traffic Assist systems
360 Surround View Monitoring

Jana finds the VF 9 to be comfortable, powerful, full of family-friendly and safety features, and she loves the ambient lighting. She also finds security in the VinFast 10-year/125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

If your family is growing and you want to take them a step into the future with this exceptionally well-thought-out 3-row SUV EV, you should visit Ewing VinFast in Plano and give the VF 9 your own family road test.

The EV Report Finds the VF 8 Impressive

The EV Report is dedicated to providing news, insights, and development trends related to electric vehicles. They are committed to informing about all areas of the EV industry, lifestyle, and available products. Thus, it comes as no surprise that they have turned their attention to VinFast, specifically, the VF 8. They cover several aspects of the VF 8, and Ewing VinFast shares with you the highlights of what they found.

The EV Report begins its review with this summary: “The VinFast VF 8 blends luxury, technology, and affordability, offering Baby Boomers and Gen X a stylish, tech-forward SUV with advanced safety, premium features, and competitive pricing.” They highlight these specific age groups because they have spent a lifetime adapting to and embracing high-tech products. Unspoken but perhaps implied is that these generations have had environmental concerns as a backdrop throughout their lives, leading to an interest in a no-emission vehicle.

They start with the VF 8’s design. VinFast enlisted acclaimed automobile designers Pininfarina for the model’s exterior. The renowned designer of models like the Ferrari Testarossa, 250 GT Lusso, and F40, among others, has also crafted well-known designs for Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Peugeot. While they can’t give this mid-size crossover the dramatic lines of an Italian sports car, they ensured the VF 8 has attractive proportions and that all curves and surfaces have a cohesive appearance.

They also highlight the “Luxurious Interior,” pointing out features like the 15.6-inch center display, the single point location for all vehicle information, as well as the comfortable available vegan leather seating surfaces and heated and cooled seats. They describe it as a “meticulous attention to detail, creating a European-style interior that feels both premium and eco-conscious.”

They also pointed out the VF 8’s impressive range of safety features, such as 11 airbags, including dual knee airbags and an extra airbag between the front passengers. Additionally, it features the standard Advanced Driver-Assistance System, which includes:

Traffic Jam Assist (Level 2)

Highway Assist (Level 2)

Lane departure and Lane Center assist

Lane Centering Assist

Adaptive Cruise Control

Traffic Sign Recognition

Forward Collision Warning

Front automatic Emergency braking

Blind Spot Detection

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Front and rear parking assist

360 Surround view monitoring

Along with the above standard safety and driver assist aides, the VF 8 includes interior comfort features like an 8-way power driver seat and a 6-way power front passenger seat, both with heated capability and ambient interior lighting. Plus, the dual-motor system provides 349 hp of power, which powers the all-wheel drive. These are all on a model with a starting MSRP of $39,900. The Plus model, priced at $44,900, offers 402 horsepower along with a panoramic sunroof, 12-way and 10-way power driver and front passenger seats, and a 10-speaker audio system with a subwoofer.

This is familiar territory for a new car brand from a new country. Fifty years ago, the Japanese made a name for themselves in this country by offering vehicles with high-value features. Two decades later, Korean manufacturers introduced themselves in the same way. The only difference today is that VinFast enters with the drivetrain choice of the future, which is also new to established brands of all backgrounds. The EV Report summarizes their VF 8 Review this way: “For those ready to embrace a tech-forward, eco-conscious driving experience, the VF 8 offers a compelling blend of style, innovation, and value.” If they’re talking to you, visit Ewing VinFast, the #1 volume VinFast dealer in the country, for a test drive of the VF 8.

VinFast VF9 Showcases the Need for Large, Comfortable EV SUVs

In a world where every buyer wants a three-row SUV for their family or just in case they end up having a family, VinFast is meeting the challenge by offering the VF9. There is a rising need for larger vehicles that can accommodate people in the third row and also be eco-friendly.

One of the Few 3-Row EV Options

There are very few electric options on the market that have a third row, and the VF9 is one of the first and also one of the most accessible with a starting MSRP of $62,900. This is thousands less than equivalent vehicles from Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, Rivian, BMW, Kia, and Hyundai.

What Comes Standard

Optioning your VF9 starts you off with deciding whether you want the Eco or the Plus model. But first, regardless of trim, the VF9 comes standard with all-wheel drive, something most other large EV SUVs can’t say. From there, each VF9 also has a dual-motor setup with 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Both trims come with a Head-Up Display as standard, something that, again, most other EVs don’t include.

Performance

Testing shows a consistent 6.7-seconds to get to 60 mph from a dead stop, which makes it reasonably quick. However, it will feel quicker when you’re behind the wheel because of the no-lag electric powertrain. Even though they share the same powertrain and all, the Eco actually gets 330 miles on a full charge while the Plus has 291 miles. Both are very competitive against more established brands.

Behind the third row, owners will find 7.5 cubic feet of space and 32.7 cubic feet when that row is folded flat. The front trunk, or frunk, can also hold an extra 3.5 cu.ft. of cargo, such as groceries, backpacks, and the like.

Device Charging

Even though the VF9 is still very new, reviewers have been saying that the third row is actually a nice place to be for kids and adults, with two USB-A charge ports, one for each seat. The second row is available as a bench in Eco models or with optional captain’s chairs in the Plus trim. This means you can choose to have either seven or eight seats in your car. If you choose the captain’s chairs, the second-row passengers will get a total of four USB-A ports to charge their devices. A 90-watt USB-C port is standard on all models in the second row. The Plus model also gets an 8-inch rear screen as standard.

Sony RIDEVU

Both trim levels also come standard with an in-car WiFi hotspot and Sony RIDEVU for free. Sony RIDEVU is a service provided by Sony Pictures Entertainment that offers users the ability watch 2,000 different shows and movies from their archive on any device connected to the vehicle’s WiFi or on the 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen display when the VF9 is parked. This makes camping with kids a whole new experience.

The VF9 Has the Ability to Tow

Speaking of camping, if you decide to take your family around the great outdoors, you can also tow up to 4,000 lbs when properly equipped. This means you can bring along a trailer, boat, jet ski, or what have you on your family adventures.

VinFast Has a Warranty Like No Other

VinFast has the best warranty in all of the automotive industry with a standard 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranties. There is zero reason to worry about your new car, and the Vietnamese EV carmaker wants to make it easy for customers to get into their first or their next electric vehicle. Ewing VinFast of Plano has the best models and pricing around.
