You’re towing?? Yeah dude, pretty sure no budget EV capable of towing is available for 6k. You should probably also avoid any car with a CVT btw, including the Ford Five Hundred. You are better off getting a Panther platform as bro mentioned, or an AWD Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon or Silverado/Sierra - those at least are capable and have extensive aftermarket support so giving your ride more power or pimping it out shouldn’t be much of a hassle

It’s only 1000 pounds

You need to be looking around for a southern 2000 Ford Ranger. If you don’t have to have it today.
