I’m on my second front tow hook license plate mount. Don’t waste your money on cheap plastic mounts. Mine broke. Then I upgraded to the Rago Fabrication all metal version. It’s working great and worth the extra expense.

I would not trust any bent/deformed jack, especially with a vehicle as heavy as a Rivian. Not planning to use the OEM jack - I have the revised version. Here’s the setup I used to change from my 20” AT winter set to my 3-season 21” wheels. EVSportline 6-ton bottle jack EVSL aluminum billet...

I have Toyo Open County ATs on what is now my winter set of wheels - practically brand new when I bought my R1T pre-owned in December. LOVE how the Toyos handle in the snow. We visited our oldest son in NH over Christmas right after I bought my truck. I recently switched to a full set of...

The one week of the year I think I’d use a cover is while on our vacation in NH each summer. There are plenty of pine trees that drip lots of sap onto exposed cars and it’s not a lot of fun, or easy, to get it all off.

I already have your lower console organizer with cup holders, door handle organizer, and remote key fob case. I’d like to test and review the camp speaker storage drawer and seat back phone/tablet holder.

For anyone who doesn’t have a 2022 Launch Edition Rivian - like me (FEB 2023 R1T) - YES, the wrist bands were originally only an option for 2022 LE Rivians, however I’ve been able to associate two wrist bands with my truck. Both times it took a little more backend work from the Rivian call...

Easy to do as long as the original owner has de-linked the fob from their vehicle. All you do is contact Rivian and they will help you out. IF the fob is one of the VERY early fobs, one that has a “nonstandard” ID number inside the fob, you’ll need to being it to a Rivian SC to have them assist...

Rivian Service Center just replaced the bed trim cover on the left-hand side of my bed while under warranty. The cover is held down both by foam with adhesive tape and very small metal clips that pull out of the plastic cover trim. That trim panel is one time use only. If you attempt to remove...

Great to know. I have a set of EVBase running boards to install. The original purchaser didn’t install them on his truck. Another person told me to be sure I use a TP55 bit after he stripped a bolt using just a T55.

Our 2007 Honda Pilot totaled a sedan and a Honda CRV when they hit the tow hitch on our Pilot in separate events. The Pilot “laughed” at the sedan which lost the radiator and more. The CRV hit our hitch so hard it tweaked the entire hitch unit and the rear part of the frame. It’s still on the...

That’s unfortunate, especially considering Rivian highlighted the ability to manage your calendar in the videos I’ve seen so far.

Before you lift the spare tire out of the well, you have to totally unscrew and remove the retention bolt from the base of the well. Use one of the hex holes in the “nut” that holds the wheel in place. The bolt hex head fits in the securing nut - hex firing is offset from the center. This gives...

Super easy to lift with the harness, and you just need one. It’s a LOT easier to access the spare wheel well with the cover in the 90-degree position too, especially if you rotate your own wheels. If you don’t, I’d remove the screw that secures the wheel in place before hand rather than letting...

Super easy to slip on and off and snug it down with the straps. Using a spare tire harness is a game changer but so is lifting the spare cover to the full 90-degree position which isn’t possible with the RTT in the way. Just get one harness.

Stephen King’s Christine - great story - the first I read from him!
