I would if I could... These things still have a big problem with charging / range, ESPECIALLY when towing. But they do eliminate all the regearing of diffs and low-range and transfer cases and driveshafts and all that. Far simpler, lower maintenance drivetrain. The testing appears to indicate that they make a fantastic rock crawler / trail rig. The https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqkOAZSbPAc" rel="nofollow - Motor Trend test shows it doing Black Bear pass, and doing it well. Super dusty trail? So what, no air filters to change (well, there's a cabin air filter of course). ------------- "If you didnt buy your 1st gen 4Runner new, then YOU are a newbie!!" BRC Life Member |
