from The Rival R1T Has Crucial Advantages Over Rivals to Consider (motorbiscuit.com):
" The F-150 Lightning has a 23.9-foot turning radius, and the R1T has a turning diameter of 45 feet, which can be broken down to a turning radius of 22.5 feet. You can take advantage of the Tank Turn feature...
We've had a lot of smoke up here recently and I've driven through a bunch of it. I know some folks up here are checking/replacing their cabin air filters. Ours seems to be accessible via the frunk (illustration below from the manual says not to get it wet). Anybody have any information on...
Has anyone used the portable charger at a Washington State Park camping site? There are a number of campsites with 30 amp electrical connections...shared experiences appreciated.
From the manual: " The Trailer Sway Control is always on when in Towing Mode."
OK, so how does this work? I mean how does the truck know what the trailer is doing?
Curious about the plus/minus capabilities/limitations.
About to get my 1st trailer and have read that even light trailers can...
I don't think this is covered in the manual, so an experiment. Plugged the R1T into my level 2 charger. Plugged my Dometic fridge into the 120 v outlet in the bed. Turned on 120v and turned on the fridge. Looks like no degradation in estimated range for this arraignment. Truck was at the 70%...
Thinking about the Thule Sidekick, 54 x 25 x 15.5 in, exactly the right size for bed length: Amazon.com: Thule Sidekick Rooftop Cargo Box Grey, One Size : Everything Else
Hoping for some feedback/alternative suggestions. I don't want something that hangs over the end so 54 inches is the...
Boy, I can not find the meaning of the steering wheel with the ! symbol below in any of the documentation...neither the online manual nor the safety brochure. Anybody know?
This showed up shortly after I got a message that all-wheel drive was not available. After the truck was shut and off...
Getting a camper to haul with my R1T and figure I'll need a backup camera. I found the 12 volt outlet under the center front dash. That's going to be a little awkward and a cord stretch for some of the units that need 12 volt for the monitor. Mounting the monitor looks to be a challenge, too...
Expansion of electric vehicle grid hits roadblocks in rural WA | Crosscut
" A new statewide plan would use federal dollars to build chargers every 50 miles, upgrading rural utilities and combating 'range anxiety.' "
and a term I'd not seen before: “flatbed of shame”
I've been using PlugShare to look at charging options. The Rivian app/map seems to get mixed reviews. I've noticed a lot of buzz in the forum about 'A Better Route Planner' (ABRP). I note that ABRP has a premium tier. Any feedback on these and other route planning options is greatly appreciated...
I have a vendor that I've used before that installs 3M Surface Protection Films for Post Factory Installations | 3M United States. Have not seen that mentioned or reviewed here or in the other forums I frequent.
Wondering if anyone has used the 3M product and can comment/advise.
Thanks!
Thinking about going with this...appreciate the demo that shows no interference with proximity alerts:
Rivian Tow Hook License Plate Mount (Pre-Order) | brainexplodermerch
Don't know if there are any out there yet...site says pre-order.
Of course, here in WA it may be months before I have a...
13 weeks and counting since delivery/trade-in. Checked the WA DOL (department of licensing) site today to see if I had a plate on the way. That's covered in other posts/threads. I noted that the car I traded-in was still registered to me. This is not my first trade-in. In all others, the dealer...
Sound system is great. So far, I've used it mostly with audio books and podcasts as well as selections from Amazon Music (if you've bought CDs or digital music from them, you can stream that content). Amazon has an HD music streaming option for an additional cost. Wondering if anyone has tried...
Have used the app to invite someone to be added as a driver on the R1T. Nothing has happened on their end or on mine for 24 hours. Unclear from the app or the manual what is supposed to happen next. Want to add a driver and reassign one of the swipe cards to them. Anyone accomplished these...
