I really want one. Theres no reasonable modern adventure/utility truck on the market. Icons are nice but $$$. Same for all the other modern after market conversions. Like many others Ive settled on a 30 year old truck (4runner/hilux surf) for this niche.
but... the complex suspension worries me. Fungibility or flexibility yes, but massive adjustability sounds fragile and complex. Dual drive sure, but it must have some sort of LSD. Which isnt mentuoned. 200 miles is a really short range. I can do 300+ on my stock tank and its not enough. Last 4 day weekend in the cascades/palouse/okanogan was about 700 miles. Practical recharging in the rural/wilds is .... unlikely.
As mentioned until theres real capital and manufacturing this is vaporware. Im also skeptical of $60,000, I'll bet real money against that. Icon, a small batch truck manufacturer with real product, is more like $100-150,00 and up.
Edit: entry and exit angles look nice. Real curious how that "plate" style chassis handles flex.
