Call me old fashion but that thing is screaming for a high performance V8.

We use to have fun hot rodding 2WD F100's and F150's when I was a teenager.

Freaking awesome. I love it. Though that looks like a $100K build.

Something about it sounding like a golf cart on steroids when you hit the go go pedal just doesn't do it for me. I can forsee a future where people would be scared $hitless if a V8 were fired up in a museum. The future in Demolition Man is coming true , lol .

Electric is the future, it's coming one way or another. Having a manufacture's performance division back it with a ready to order crate motor is the next logical step towards adoption. Drop this into say a 5th gen Civic or Mini Cooper and you'd have a little rocket ship!

Wait till they have 1 motor per wheel. you will need a G-suit!
I recall hearing there was almost no performance gain by driving the front wheels individually. Think it was the Hummer EV they were talking about, not enough improvement in either acceleration or off-road performance to justify the added weight and power consumption. Now I can see on a purely performance vehicle being able to send full torque to one front wheel to improve handling & cornering or an off-road vehicle to eliminate slip, but that can still be accomplished with a single motor.

That interior is terrible, looks like they took off the shelf parts and slapped it in there.
Rest of the truck is awesome though and I'm sure it's a blast to drive.

My wife has a 2000 Cherokee Classic that she had in college that is in excellent shape that I would love to do this to so my soon to be born son will be able to drive a classic as his first car. By the time he is ready, gas will be too expensive to not try this.

Meh..... Electric may be "the future", but especially on a classic vehicle.... I need the sensory overload of a healthy I.C.E.

... But that's just me

ICE will never be able to accelerate like an Electric. Think "Roller Coaster FUN"

Yes we will miss the look feel and smell of a big V8, but push yopu DEEP into your seat acceleration is addicting
