It'll be interesting to see what happens when off-road vehicles start becoming electrified. Separate front/rear motors eliminate the need for that middle differential or transfer case, and if we eventually transition to a separate motor for each wheel, we'll be rid of all of the differentials and have much better ground clearance as well as better traction. For now, I suppose electric trucks/jeeps are more affected by "range anxiety" than daily-driver sedans, since people tend to imagine themselves driving to some remote location when they buy them. But as technology improves, I would love to see something like a modern reincarnation of a 1960's era CJ-5 (but with better safety features) -- simple, easy to modify, nothing that doesn't need to be there, and reasonably priced.
