I wasn't saying a Rivian should float like a caddy. I was making a joke about how my ranger handled. That was before you could get fancy shocks you could adjust on the fly. Allowing you to have good on and off-road handling.
Not saying you have to go full race to get good on a off-road handling with spring and shock. You do miss out of ride hight adjustment. An off the shelf system like the Fox electronically controlled bypass shocks you get on the fly valving adjusting. I drove a long travel Ranger as a DD for 8...
I’ve seen trucks with regular spring compete and win Baja and KOH. I’d love to see a Rivian enter one of those races. Actually I’ve heard Dave Cole from KOH has tried to get in touch with Rivian to get them out to one of the races.
Just thinking about it. 10 or so years ago CHP made me put chains on my WRX on my way to Big Bear. The officer was either a dick or didn’t know what all wheel drive was because he asked me where the button was to turn it on. Not to long after I gave my chains to a fiend after one of his came...
When my dad first moved to Big Bear he drove a 2wd Ranger so he had have chains. Few years laster he upgraded to a F250 4wd on 33s. He would put the chains he bough for the Ranger in his toolbox and just show that he had them with him. No one ever checked the size only that he had them.
I missed like 100 calls so far non from Rivian, I know I’m already near the back of the line with my 2020 EXP. Hopefully they won’t push back more.
I have a chronic condition, every few years it flares up and I have to spend a week in the normal hospital. Unfortunately my local hospital is still over capacity so the only room was in the ICU.
I’m thankful I did not have the full ICU experience
I’ve been out of commission for the last 10 days, did I miss any news or anything?
i just spent 3 days in the ER and 5 in the ICU so been hard to keep up on the news.
