someone seized an engine and ended up blowing apart the transmission along with it.. i asked them why they did not have it towed , they did not say anything


it does have two 60kw electrical motors that need to be cooled to make up for it


it also comes with the heavy duty tow package ( for the cooling only since the max is 6200 pounds for 2wd )
