This is some horrible photo shopping on the Chevy Dully.

And as for the Tesla pickup. One picture shows a short distance from the back wheel to the bumper. The other shows a VERY long gap.

Imagine what you could do with a fossil/electric hybrid with an all-electric drive train. A drive motor at each diff...or even one for each wheel. The off-road control would be epic. No transmission or transfer case, just motors, batteries, and an internal combustion generator...like a modern locomotive.

Lol, not butt hurt. Just not a fan personally. I understand where the developers are coming from. Everyone seems to want a luxury vehicle (sharp lines, advanced technology and interior) but theres a large portion of people who like less sleek stuff, the majority of them being truck drivers. They won't ever touch any of the current truck makers lol. Not even Honda

I've said this before but nobody believes me that the electric motors are instant power and torque. Something good for off road. Can have a drive motor at each wheel or electric motor to hydraulic. The ground clearance would be badass and no axle to mess with
