Sounds like what you need is 4 wheel steering more than a shorter vehicleI would be happier if the Terra were a bit shorter, and I’ll explain the specific reason why...
I manage a large forestry/conservation project on my land, maintaining miles of drivable trails across varied rough terrain (steep slopes, swamp edges, stream crossings, boulders to cross, etc.).
Some of these trails have 90-degree turns or less. Other times, I may get in a jam where I need to turn around completely, which typically involves backing up until I can find enough of a clearing to do so.
My current work vehicle (AEV Brute Double Cab, a custom precursor to the Gladiator, 3.5" lift on aggressive 37 mud tires) is 216 inches long. That is already a bit long for my purposes, but it has been great having a pickup with lots of ground clearance and differentials.
Extending that to 229 inches—14 inches more—makes things that much more uncomfortable out on my trails.
Before commissioning the Brute, I was using the cheapest Mercedes G500 I could find (2003 model, 130K miles on it when I bought it used for $20K). Those things are absolute beasts off-road, even though most Gwagen owners never use them for their original purpose. They are also a *lot* shorter than most pickups—mine was 185". I only gave it up because I really needed a pickup instead...
Long story short, I don’t expect my EV pickup to be 185" long, but 229" is pushing it. Would be much happier around 212-220".
