I have a 2017. I feel your pain. Crazy how they buried that battery. Especially when there is a perfectly good spot for it on the drivers side where they have a place for an auxiliary battery. Its probably not that hard to swap out the battery if you have done 50 of them but the first time is a real pain especially if your somewhere other than next to your tool box.
Would it not make sense to put your main battery where the auxiliary spot is???

Especially assuming one does not use that spot for its intended purpose????
It would take more modification than I would take on. There is a battery junction box that mounts on top of the battery. Quite a few cables and wiring might need to be moved. So its not just a matter of lengthening the battery cables. Its a real piece of work.

Life can be rough on us dreamers.
