Hey @DCE , do you guys have further videos/pictures/media of the rock slider performance taking a full load or in harder offroad situations? Are the jack locations different, or do completely lose the use of jack pucks in this case? Also, is the R1S sliders available immediately?

Is it possible to take a picture and show the underside of the rail and step? Thanks!

I've had a heavy lean that came and went. I've seen it come and go with car reboots.

Apples to oranges comparison in the aforementioned article. That said, it is less than the telluride behind the 3rd row. Telluride is smaller behind 2nd and 1st row by a tiny amount not counting the bonus space below the floor. But the article itself is deliberately under counting versus...

I'm not saying that this is the case, but breakaway and collapsable pedals are an intentional safety design element in modern vehicles. It'd be interesting to see who designed this part since most of this type of stuff is likely an off-the-shelf component.

Yeah, true. But then keeping the 400v HV battery draining while on standby seems very inefficient. This is really there to keep the cooler running while the car is off and we're out on a hike, eating lunch, at the beach, etc

I came here to say this. A ton of people (not all) don't realize that a wheelbase change effectively changes the handling characteristics of a vehicle entirely. There was one case years ago where Consumer Reports tested the stability control of a truck, and it would constantly break the...

Haha..no worries. I assumed it would be the same, but when battery drain was insane, i then tried the different combos. 12v DC input-->battery that's native 12/24v DC --> 12V DC operated fridge is as good as it gets.

Yeah, but at that point, there was no indication if the design was finalized. There has been many features that have "shifted" a bit from proto builds to GA. This was one of the things that actually mattered to me since we'll ocassionally use the car for skiing (if we don't use the R1T).

I mean, anything has to be better than the XC90 3rd row. you might as well be sitting on the ground there...

at the 27 second mark, you can actually see the 40-20-40 seatback split mechanism in the video for a split second. It slides and the seatback tilts forward.

@kylealden and @Zac I actually used multimeters to check the efficiency, but I found that the Dometics were significantly more efficient using the 12v DC daisy chain vs plugging in the cooler at 110 AC, which requires conversion. At 110AC, they were pulling 25-30w baseline, vs .5-1w baseline...

I bet you daisy chaining a battery generator that's small (like this one that's 129 on amazon right now) would work: We do this all the time with our dometic and our 12v outlet in the trunk already when we go on road trips. I would assume I would need it again for this application. Since...

I'm guessing AWD w/ at least 300bhp and 300 mile range would be approx 65k. Kia currently sells 2WD and AWD variants, as well as standard and extended range battery variants of the EV6. I imagine this will be the same in this case.

If the tub is just straight up plastic single layer, this isn't actually a bad idea
