I am thinking about buying and overland trailer for off-roading and camping. Has anyone used on yet with their R1T? I am interested in hearing about range while using it.

I am looking at a Taxa Outdoors woolly bear trailer. Any others you suggest?

We have a Turtleback Getaway, and range is consistently around 200 miles round trip (uphill and downhill combined). Luckily, we have access to a Rivian pull-through charger which makes it a lot more practical to use with the Rivian.

Have you seen the Camp365? It is an engineering feat! I have two of them (one has never been used and is available at dealer cost to someone that will use it.). camp365.com

Looks pretty slick. Do you have any efficiency numbers or pictures on your R1T?
Also what is the cost of that setup?

There's a whole category of ruggedized teardrops too, if you're looking for something a little more four-season friendly and that you can use in places that need hard sides (e.g. bear country). Something like the TOPO2 Teardrop Trailer or Black Bean Off-Road Trailer are probably the flagships in this space, but not cheap. But there's something to be said for the superior aero, less/no set-up time, and durability (full fiberglass enclosures - nothing to rot, UV fade, etc.).

I haven't tow it on the road yet but the efficiency impact should be very minor as it is aerodynamic and only weighs about 1,500 pounds. I have one of these that has not been used and never been titled in my State. It has always been stored indoors. I paid just over $19k but would let it go for $16.5k just to get it out of the way. (A new Airstream is coming in.) This one has a built-in propane heater. Here are some pics:
