Sharing trails with ICE rigs: good, bad, or neutral?

[electruck4x4]

Mixed groups are becoming the norm on popular trails.

Have you noticed differences in pace, etiquette, or recovery styles when running with ICE trucks?

What’s worked well (or not) for your groups?

I've done trails with EVs only, mixed, and gas only, and the only difference is the vehicles themselves as far as pros/cons. Powertrain seems to be the least of the differences off road, besides instant torque and no noise from the EVs.

Weight/suspension/size is going to be the bigger things that matter off road.

My group let me set the pace on the way to our destination since my R1S range is the limiting factor. Otherwise, overlanding is as usual.

My usual group is all ICE vehicles. But I agree etiquette or otherwise is all dependent on the people/drivers rather than the vehicles themselves.
I try my best not to burden my fellow ICE friends so I usually leave home a good couple hours earlier than the rest to allow plenty of time to charge and we end up meeting at the trail head at the same time. But haven't experienced any other real differences.

No problems at all with my ICE buddies - I run with the local Jeep club and everyone has always been friendly. The UTVs though, that's a different matter entirely....
