Okay, second time around, I've sent in a reservation for an R2 and submitted the form here at Rivian Forums. I pulled out when I was buying a house over a year ago. We'll see where this all goes. The R2 looks like best in class. It has good range, should be well-built. Really would prefer a...

To the administrator, I'm #715 on the list (BSea). Sadly, today I decided to cancel my reservation. Between the shrinking Canadian dollar and the rising political tensions going on, I don't see myself buying any American-made vehicle. Guess I'll just wait until Canada pivots to allow BYD to...

I don't understand what Toyota thinks it's doing. Maybe they are following General Electric and Boeing down the quarterly profits rabbit hole. Perhaps it makes sense to not open the vault until superior batteries make the switch to BEV's a slam dunk. But, to not even put out a half decent...

Take this comment with a grain of salt. I have Rhino Liner in the box of my old Tacoma. I also have a few small dents and one big one. Unfortunately, I got the box second hand. So, I don't know what caused the various dents. For what it's worth, my impression is that the liner will help when...

There's this manual from the Yakima web site: https://assets.yakima.com/product/instructions/8004073/1 Does that help any?

Who says the R1t isn't a work truck!

Which, in theory, should mean that as the hood starts to make contact with something, such as a low roof or a canoe, it should come to a stop. In theory!

This is very peculiar. I just reviewed the original poster´s other threads. There´s not very many. I don´t get the vibe of a troll. He has previously asked for help with some small issues, responding with respect and appreciation to those who have given advice. Maybe he has not returned to...

Great news. I was asking about it. I was pretty sure the R2 would have it, but with no mention of towing and no visual evidence of a hitch, I wanted confirmation. And, yes, that bike rack looks like a very solid approach to carrying several bikes on the back. Hopefully, they create more...

Okay, so I have re-submitted the form. I think I was having a problem with Google on my first two attempts.

I agree. I would be gobsmacked if it didn't have a hitch. But, so far, no one can confirm it. Today, I was in a big lineup coming home from skiing. Brake. Clutch. Shift. Accelerate. Repeat over and over. I think I'm really going to like that one pedal driving!

Form submitted.

We discussed this at the local reveal party. I had assumed that the three slots on the left were for the R1t, R1s and the cube van. The two slots on the right would be for a new SUV and a new pickup. Nope. I'm totally amazed that any company today can keep this type of development secret. The...

Don't you just love it when people respond to their own posts? Well, it was a fun event. The highlight, besides meeting some very nice people, was the R3 and R3X reveals. When RJ said there was one more thing, we were thinking 'here comes the small pickup'. Not so much! Anyway, I put my money...

I'm in on the R2. I have been wrestling with the short distance between the two roof racks. Concerned about my long kayak being held by roof racks placed too close together. I've been trying to find out if the R2 is going to have a trailer hitch. In all likelihood it is, but I have not found...
