    Are you really going to take it into the woods with just two seats, mediocre suspension (likely, given the limited payload and towing), and limited range? Just get a Polaris side-by-side or something, they’re built for that.

    I get it, a cheap truck is appealing, but at this price target, it’s going to make a lot of compromises. It should do fine in plowed roads (might need sandbags in the back though), so it’ll probably be fine for around town use, which seems to be its target.

      With the motors and battery being on the backend of the truck, wouldn’t that give you better traction on the back wheels over the front wheels?

        I’m not sure how the weight is distributed, so maybe? Maybe it needs sandbags in the front?

        Either way, it sounds workable as an around town truck, even in snow, without 4WD.
