That‘s what I just did. Got R1000 20” wheels from EV Sportline and put the Nokian R5s on them. Replaces my 22s. So, this would be like an OEM set up.

Hey all. New (very happy) owner here. Anybody found a way to make Alexa work in Quebec? Tried setting language to English (both Canadian and US) to no avail. Looks like it’s blocked From Quebec-delivered cars somehow and in fairness, Rivian did say in the original announcement it wouldn’t work...

I just bought an R1T. Lease was not an option.

Thanks all. I’ve finally decided to go to 20s for the winter and keep the stock 22 tire and wheel package for the summer. I’ve chosen the EV Sportline R1000 wheel and will mate them with Nokians Hakkas R5 SUV. Read some threads with happy owners on those wheels. Plus I like the look. This should...

Thanks all for the replies. Think I'll go with the Nokian R5s then. A question that is creeping up as I research. Should I get new wheels too and down to 20s for the winter? I was hoping to keep the original Sport wheels for winter and then get new summer wheels but should I do the reverse? How...

Thanks! Are your Blizzaks 115 or 116 load rating if I may ask? This seems to be a great debate.

Hey all. Picking up an R1T Thursday. Have to put on winter tires. Place I called recommended Nokian or Michelin but leaned towards Michelin a bit more, their X-Ice Snow tire. What do folks here recommend? What are your experiences with winter tires for your Rivian. Thanks.

Thanks all. Delivery Guide confirmed they need the payment 24 hrs ahead of time. So went ahead and paid through Stripe. Thursday can't come soon enough!

Hey all. After years of waiting/hesitating, I've pulled the trigger on a 2025 Max Pack DM R1T! This'll eliminate two vehicles for me, a daily driver and a towing vehicle. Taking delivery this Thursday. Quite excited! This will be the first vehicle that I buy where I have the option to not...

Maybe he’s the best at tear downs and the related analysis but not sure interviewing CEOs or discussing business strategy is his strong suit. They are evidently trying to branch out in social but I’m not sure that’s his brand. Perhaps they should stick to their claim to fame.

I admittedly don’t watch a lot of Munro stuff so I don’t have a good base to compare this video with but he didn’t come across as knowledgeable on simple things like operating the vehicle he claims to already own. And then beyond the plastic or lizard comments, do you really want to associate...

How's your efficiency? I got a Globetrotter 25FB which I two with a RAM 2500. Never liked the vehicle and much preferred towing our previous smaller trailer with our Model X but the RAM could handle the larger Airstream. Now I want to get the R1T.

I'm no mechanical engineer but I suspect it's not only the wheelbase. If the platform is the same for R1T and R1S, meaning the skateboard and suspension are identical, then the lower tongue weight rating on the R1S could be because there's more weight in the back of the R1S. Instead of just a...

Nice. Although quite a bit more expensive than Airstreams (which aren't exactly cheap), Bowlus probably has the best combination of areo and weight for EV towing. Some tradeoffs like the cassette toilette and the odd shaped bed could deter some but certainly range-saving.

Correct. Rivian states R1T is 1155# and R1S is 810#. Yes WD can shift weight but there’s much debate in towing circles on whether or not it allows you to exceed tongue weight rating.

Very encouraging for someone like me who wants too tow with an R1. Question, are you not exceeding the R1S tongue weight rating? I thought it was 810 lbs on the R1S? The Pottery Barn’s tongue weight comes in at 925 according to AS and their published numbers are notoriously low. I have a...

Interesting you say that. In trying to determine the best EV truck for my use, I’ve been plotting long towing trips with different vehicles on ABRP. Although it has a shorter range, the Cybertruck takes about as much time getting to the destination in a long road trip scenario as a Rivian Dual...

Yes, there’s perhaps a bit of dramatization in the video names and characterization of what he’s noticing. That’s how they get views.

@Budman I cannot thank you enough for this. Clearly a lot of work on your part that helps many, many of us. I really appreciate it.
