I'm so excited! I preordered an R1S back in 2019, but when I really needed a family SUV in 2023, it still wasn’t ready to configure, so I ended up getting a 2023 Model X instead. Even though I don’t necessarily need another family SUV, when Rivian released the Gen 2 R1 in June, I knew I had to add another “adventure vehicle” to my lineup.
I wasn’t aware that some Gen 2 vehicles still come with a free stealth PPF wrap until someone on the forum mentioned it. I immediately started searching and found two Dual Max vehicles with stealth PPF and the all-terrain package—one in LA Silver and the other in El Cap Granite. While I originally wanted a Midnight with the dark-out package and dark wheels, the free PPF was too tempting to pass up. The LA Silver one also comes with premium audio, which is important to me, so I used a friend’s referral code and ordered it right away. I received a confirmation a few hours later—my car will be ready for pickup on 9/29!
I’m beyond excited and decided to create a blog to document this journey, so when my kid grows up, we’ll have plenty of memories to look back on. I’m now shopping for camping essentials like a sleep mat, storage solutions, and more. Any recommendations? I’ve also watched a lot of YouTube videos but still haven’t decided which phone mount works best—I’m looking for something clean and magnetic.
