My current workhorse vehicle is a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. It was abused when I bought it 3 years ago for $400, and has nearly 300k miles. But everything in the drivetrain is 100% original and working well. I do all maintenance myself, and parts are readily available and affordable. I'm still...
If this is single motor, will it have a conventional rear diff? If so, I imagine it will be open, which may limit driving in snow a bit. I get the weight distribution and battery placement will help traction, but it's hard to overcome and open rear end in a pickup truck in low traction situations.
