Sounds like a good application. I'll check around and see if one of the local (in Canada at least) Highlander Hybrids has had a tree jump out in front of it ... and become a source of parts (salvage wreck).
100 lb for the motor, gearbox and differential is AMAZING! I may even call Toyota and ask what a replacement costs. Likely $20K but I should ask
