Pickup trucks, including battery-powered ones, are expected to do everything, including the occasional off-road course. However, not all electric trucks are created equal.

Off-roading enthusiasts know that having a locking differential on your car when going off the beaten track can make life a lot easier when the trail gets sketchy. Some cars come equipped from the factory with locking diffs, usually on the rear axle, but more hardcore models like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class can be specced with up to three locking diffs. Pickup trucks are no different.
