I’ve had pickups with and without caps (toppers, shells, etc). I had one on my current 5’ bed Tacoma and found it handy, but also restrictive when needed to maximize the limited bed size, and I sold it. I’m currently running a soft rollup tonneau which takes seconds to roll back or close up, and...

AFAIK Tesla has sold millions of cars without CarPlay. In the future when proprietary infotainment is as well integrated in other cars as it seems to be in Tesla (not an owner, but have driven some) we may look back at CarPlay and Android Auto the way we now consider in-dash CD changers. And my...

Aren’t those B plates black on white paper? This was a real stamped metal plate (commercial/pickup letter & number format) with the normal CA year and month stickers on it.

I saw an R1T today in the parking lot of a local city park. I didn’t really want to pore over someone’s new car but it looked good. Real California plates too, not mfg or dlr or paper. Plate on the rear only. I saw it drive in under its own power :)

We use either a 1Up hitch rack or a tailgate pad with our current pickup which has a 5’ bed, so that’s longer (but probably a tad narrower than the R1T. Personally, I don’t really get the over the bed racks for pickups, though they may offer advantages for some uses. While they free up a bit of...

I’m surprised that people make comparisons with Jaguar or McLaren. If the R1T (not speaking of the R1S now) has ride/handling/NVH equal or better than a Tacoma TRD Pro or Chevy ZR2 I’d be satisfied. Of course that’s assuming superior traction, underbody protection, cool features as well typical...

I’ve heard of Rivian. Never heard of Autolist. Do they even have credibility?

Everybody has their own preferences but we had a soft RTT, Tepui brand, but similar to the Rivian Yakima tent, and got rid of it. We camp, in a mix of designated campgrounds and remote dispersed camping, 40-70 nights a year. Setup and takedown wasn’t easy, though ours was mounted higher than...

I would argue that if one isn’t towing (or hauling heavy loads) or going backcountry camping for a week, that you don’t need a Rivian; a Model 3 or Bolt is just fine. Or a Lightning. I’m interested in an R1T to replace my 4WD ICE pickup which frequently travels 200+ miles in places where there...

In some western states such as California, the purpose of something like an auto sock (or even just a crusty bag of chains in some random size that you got on CL for $10) is not to actually fit and provide traction. It is merely to show an inspector at a CalTrans chain control stop that you have...

I've never owned a vehicle with rims larger than 16“ so I too did a little research on 275/65-20 offerings. Good news is that this is a far more common size than I anticipated, and in fact everything in this size at Tire Rack was a Load Range E 123-126 rating, and most seem in that he 57-60...

We had a 2001 VW with a cable operated fuel filler door that required considerable disassembly of the rear trunk liner to actuate the “emergency” release. and I don’t think that was described in the owners manual. When my wife called the dealer from the gas station (car was only a few weeks old)...

New to the forum here, just put a deposit (investment?) in an R1T. I’m surprised to see there’s no 12V in the bed; that’s a mod I’ve done with my current Tacoma for charging devices as well as running my Dometic CFX35. And FYI, the fridge seems to work just fine in the bed under a black tonneau...
