RWD can be provided by hub-motors, which would still allow a low-profile frame to be used, getting a lower cargo boarding height without sacrificing the suspension travel. That's why I have been quoting the Fiat Ducato frame as a possible reference to guide the development of the upcoming Tesla truck.
