Received a "Service Suspension Soon" warning message. Was not able to move out of All Purpose drive mode. But, I could change the suspension height without issue. Compressor kicked in, saw front and rear raise or fall depending on what I chose, etc. Called service and made an appointment to...

Ordered R1T LE- Nov 2018 and R1S LE- Nov 2018 Milwaukee area. Both came back with March-April 2022.

A thought about the delivery strategy. We know that employees, for the most part, have been the recipients of the first R1Ts off the line. That is important to help control the quality and the narrative around the first deliveries. They may have signed agreements as part of their employment...

We have laptops with connectivity in our rigs so if there is time, we can look up the guides as we arrive. We wouldn't be rummaging through a vehicle to find the guide. All manufacturers do use common symbols and markings for the cut loops which helps.

I have a 2019 GMC Sierra pickup currently and I added a Bedslide to the rear bed. It allows me to slide out the BedSlide, put my stuff on it, then slide it back in under the tonneau cover. Same concept here with the Gear Shuttle. No crawling way inside the tunnel to get your stuff, just...

I am a day 1 R1T pre-order holder and also a firefighter. I got asked a few months back to provide feedback on this guide. I worked with a Rivian technical writer over a week or so with comments and a few phone calls. They did a great job learning about things and incorporating much of my...
