based on the configuration of the beast (permanent in the front), I would assume it would be FWD during cruising. I would definitely get dual if it is true since I favor rear drive biased AWD system, even during cruising.
Yes but you can say the same for Rivian. The rear bumper on the CT is hanging out a lot more than the bumper on the Rivian, it is not going to make much of a difference even if max height is slightly higher than the Rivian.
