Gotcha. Yes that would definitely be nice if it was integrated for a cleaner look. Makes sense what your saying about the power drain. Only experience I’ve had was with 12000 Lb winch mounted on my Jeep. I could drain my battery in no time if needed. Alternator couldn’t keep up with heavy use.

This is what I read on the Rivian site. From what I understand the box or receptacle (female plug) is hardwired to you’re breaker panel. The connection cord is provided by Rivian to connect between the receptacle and the vehicle using a plug at each end. I may be wrong here but that’s where...

Wow, we keep that up and we’ll need another option, a tow behind trailer full of batteries.

You forgot something.

I don’t know much about the winch offering but can you imagine how much drain there would be on the system? Winches need a lot of juice. Unless you get a gas powered one. ?. How was the winch supposed to be mounted? Hook into the receiver hitch? A receiver hitch front and back could be used as...

Of course, keeping in mind it’s not a charger, it’s a connection cord. The charger is in the vehicle.

I’m like you. I want things I’ll probably never use. It’s a syndrome where “What if I need it one day“? This pertains to other accessories also like the stove or the tent or the off road package. My offroading consist of going off the road unintentionally when I hit a patch of slush or snow on...

Oh ok, Thank you for that info. I’m still trying to learn what’s what on the Rivian.

I don’t recall seeing a $450 compact spare option. I’ll check it out again. I know there was an option for a $600 full size spare tire.

The Rivian is riveting along with the Riviawning. ?

Distasteful is an understatement. We want to incentivize not penalize. Need to work the positive side of the spectrum.

That makes a lot of sense, to me anyway. This is a big leap for me. This is my first EV purchase, sight unseen at over $86,000. I must be crazy but I am intrigued. I’m retired and don’t go far but I still have to admit about the anxiety over not having enough range so I chose the MaxPak. I...

Usually adding upgrades “after” the vehicle is built can be costly depending on the upgrade. Especially upgrading a battery pak.

Exactly. I won’t give up Exactly. I won’t give up the incentive. In order to keep the EV under $80,000 I’ll choose the 300 mile range battery PAK and make it work. Keeping $20,000 in my pocket buys me a lot battery charging cost.

Me too.

Yes, I read an article where they said the Rivian was wider than both the Tacoma and the Tundra. The Tundra is longer though.

I agree. I’ve been looking for side by side pics also. I’m a big guy as in 5’ 10” 330 Lbs and was concerned about being jammed up against the inside of the door but truck seems pretty wide.
