Yeah you're absolutely right and this is why I'm waiting to see some real world results. The Silverado EV and Sierra EV models are straight out beasts with their large batteries and 440 mile non-towing range, but I also don't want to get an EV truck with a rear-mounted charge port. I'd prefer a...

I have 22.5K miles on my '23 R1T Quad Large so I'm not yet prepared to take advantage of the trade-in offer as I'll lose too much on that transaction. That said, if and when I were to do it, that would be the exact configuration I go for - Dual Max to try and get as much range as possible while...

I’ll add the suggestion of dielectric grease on the 7-way to prevent corrosion as well as keep the electrical connection tight.

Correct. It automatically detects and engages tow mode once the 7-way is connected.

What was the procedure performed for this? Was it just another hard reset? If so, why didn’t any of the other attempts resolve the issue?

Any gains you may get from trickle charging an external battery pack will likely be lost in the inefficiencies created carrying all the extra weight of the battery and solar gear. As others have said, a panel or two that isn't pointed optimally at the sun is not going to produce a significant...

NY parkway enforcement only if your truck with combination plates is obviously used for commercial purposes. Doesn't apply for private use.

FWIW - @EVBASE is a site sponsor here.

Gen1 R1T here - I drive with the vehicle locked all the time and both buttons work to open the console. Not sure I would want a console that locks while the vehicle is locked and driving since that’s how I always drive. I just tested it now while parked and locked - still opens. Is the locking...

Yeah I can understand and appreciate her perspective - the seats on the R1 were definitely busier than what I’m used to in previous vehicles (Japanese/European mostly) but they do grow on you. I really like them now. hang on to the reservation - you’ve got a while to wait, the deposit is no...

I would hate for someone to end up disappointed with something because they couldn’t see it before buying it. The last 5 vehicles I’ve purchased were bought sight unseen so I’m used to doing the research ahead of time and visualizing the experience in my head and making a decision right then and...

By the way - I’m at the annual international airstream rally in Missouri and I see one other Rivian here - pulling what looks to be a 25FB Globetrotter from Nebraska - you on here?

For the most part I relied on the vehicle’s navigation to pick the charging stops. I may have adjusted once or twice but only because I wanted to take more of a risk on range. Most of the Tesla and EA stops were made at nearly empty stations that allowed for plenty of parking sideways or...

We pull a ‘24 Trade Wind 25FBT with our ‘23 R1T Quad large with AT tires and 20” wheels. Averaging 1.2 mi/kwh at 65. Just did a trip from NY to MO for the annual rally (so far there are apparently two of us rivians here) and only had to decouple to charge once the whole way.

I’m surprised the detailer tried to buff the scuff out and didn’t realize it was PPF he was working on - That’s some quality PPF! The cost is small enough I expect they’ll reimburse. If it was more they’d likely stick to their guns and reject a claim for aftermarket stuff. As they should be...

Ah fair point. I don’t tow in cold weather - thankfully!

Wow, I'm curious as to what was going on on that trip. I regularly squeeze 150 miles out of my '23 R1T Quad/Large/All-Terrain pulling a 25 foot Airstream Trade Wind travel trailer.

Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: the R1T, depending on configuration of wheels/tires/battery size and drivetrain configuration, has a full charge range of 255–410 mi. Worst case scenario, you have 5 miles to spare. Best case scenario, you have 160 miles to spare.

The guy who bought your R1T is probably in the market for one?

The Pottery Barn has a lot of nice amenities that look great and perform well in a house but in a moving trailer add an additional layer of things that can break or go wrong. I recommend talking to other PB owner about their experiences before committing. Everyone I know with a PB has run into...
