Are certian models of trucks easier/better for conversion than others?

Question

I am interested in knowing if there are certain models of trucks that are better for conversion to run on grease, electricity, or solar than others. Thank you.

Answer 1

say what?

of course, my whole life is dedicated to answering these odd questions from random people I meet online.

Answer 2

Diesel is I think what you use for biodiesel, grease, oil, etc.

If you want electric or solar-backed electric, get the smallest engine possible since you're tearing it out.

Get a manual transmisison for electric conversion since automatics are inefficient and electric almost never shifts anyway.

And make sure you don't need your air conditioning / heating too much since electric conversions are notoriously weak on climate control.

Answer 3

It rather depends to which of the less efficient modes you wish to convert.  Well, except for solar which is just silly, unless you live in a place with continuous sunshine and have a truck that is the size of a semi to hold all the solar cells and in which you won't carry any load.

Oh, and by the way, solar power is just a method to power electric motors, so it is inherently electric also.
