I have a quad for exactly a year and 17.5K miles. If it was totaled tomorrow, I would replace it with exactly the same configuration. Wouldn't be surprised if Rivian replaced the Bosch at some point but for now, they carry a better warranty, Bosch as a company isn't going anywhere, and the power...

Not at home but I found at a hotel I stay at fairly often has two Tesla destination chargers that frequently don't work. Asked about it and the breaker keeps tripping. The staff is happy to switch back on when asked. I found if I lower to <40a, it doesn't trip.

That is interesting. Whatever is wrong must be a little trickier to diagnose than mine. Richmond had it diagnosed, fixed, and observed resolved in a day. That was several months ago and no issues since.

I'm not sure, where do I find that? but my VIN is 14,3XX There is a sticker on the drivers side door that has gross vehicle weight and other info. It is on the top right of that sticker (under the 2D bar code). Mine is 15xxx so pretty close but a little after.

So what will my options be? I got mine in 12/22. I had ordered a powered, but then I selected no tonneau in the gear shop earlier than initial delivery window. My truck arrived with no tonneau but it does have the power button on the side rail, and it has the compartment into which the powered...

Kuat is expensive but they last forever, are well designed, and they stand by their product. I had a part break a few years after I bought my most recent NV and they happily sent me a replacement part. (contractor backed into the first one otherwise I would still be using my first NV from 2014)

Perfect, thank you for the quick respone. Perfect, thank you for the quick response...

Thank you! I am a huge Kuat fan but don't love how the tailgate wont clear the NV 2 without a drop on the receiver... about to pick up a Piston SR and try that. What size wheels are on your MTB and is there any risk for part that holds the front wheel hitting the back window or air deflector...

I would recommend you measure the drop on an hourly basis (in tire change mode, offroad). I had a drop of about 1" an hour in the rear. The Richmond SC replaced the airblock about a month ago and no noticeable drop since (+ compressor barely runs).

@DTown3011 BTW: Here was the writeup when it was resolved (they had some of the times wrong but you get the idea). It lost about an inch an hour and bottomed out.

Yes, exactly. I put it in offroad + tire change, then took a ruler from the ground to the top of the driver and passenger side (rear in my case) every hour (+/-) for like 4 hours. Tire to wheel well is probably also effective. That may help the SC diagnose.

This looks very similar to what I had except on the front vs the back. If you have some time, I would recommend you measure on an hour by hour basis after putting on offroad / tire change. Hope they can get it resolved quickly / easy.

They did. The SC found the air block was leaking. Replaced and it has been fine for several weeks since. Here is another thread on the similar suspension issues others have had.

Just a quick update. Got the truck back yesterday afternoon and it sat overnight. I didn't observe any drop (normally would bottom out after a few hours) so looking good!

BTW: I just got the service summary and this is what is said...
