where have local BCers taken their trucks off roading? I want to get to the Sloquet hot springs, but I haven’t seen anyone with a Rivian post that they’ve attempted. I want to try, but might rent a generator as a backup plan until I feel more confident off-road.

Anyone done ramp rock?

Any others?

Last June I went up the west side of Harrison Lake intending to go through to Pemberton. Took a side trip into Hale Creek which was fun. Truck was great. Got to 20 mile bay but got a flat and turned back since I didn't have a spare. Lucky the sealant worked and the onboard air is great (l got a spare the next day).

For a reference for you, I started out in South Surrey at 100% charge and was at 65% when I turned back (that was 143km driven). You could always drive in and turn back when you get close to 50%.

@SlideGuy Sounds like a stressful journey you had! Were you on the 20” wheels? I’ve heard the sidewall can be a bit weak in the scorpions. Part of the reason I grabbed the spare.

Thinking that when I get around to it, I’ll top up in chilliwak (coming from North Van area) just so I have as much as possible for camping and light goofing around

@Reed1T I do have the 20" wheels. A sidewall puncture could have made things interesting so I was lucky it was on the running surface. The puncture happened on the service road which has some sharp rocks on the road bed. A spare wasn't available when I got my truck. The service center sold me a wheel after this adventure.

My trip was to see what kind of range hit there would be going offroad since I was planning a big trip late summer. I thought my info might help you plan your outting.

My trip was fun. The flat was a hiccup but the truck was a champ. Wheeling in it was a blast.
