I'm fully aware of this. I addressed that in my first response to you.
And where exactly will you "pick up" this spare with a rim that fits this Rivian? NO one else sells rim size that fits the Rivians. And cost-wise they come out the same. It's better off to buy it off Rivian from the get go...
As mentioned above, if one plans to do any off-roading, no matter how little the chance, it is enough of a percentage that it is better to be with it and not need it, than need it and be stuck out in who knows where-land without it.
Part of me disagrees. If one is doing daily driving, your point carries more merit. But off-roading? Everything is game. There are plenty of reasons to have both a spare and the luxury of a built-in compressor. Nature doesn't GAF about one's experiences and weather you have or have not gone...
PFFT! you're preaching to the choir here. I'm the nut job that wants to jump my R1T like the General Lee ?
No, it was the same scenario just shown in the beginning of the video.
To test the limits of you and your truck's abilities. I would have done the same to see what I can get away with...
Perspective. Yeah it sucked having all those trucks get stuck in the mud, but I also took away how that community came together to help each other out. To me that was fun as all heck :) I'd do that all day if I could.
You think that's the only thing Ford took away with the cancelled collab? Take a closer look at the new Lightning's design. You'll find a few similarities there too.
It should be noted - while one drives for "every day" usage. The spare is likely less needed (note: I said "likely less" not "you'll never need to change a tire in your life"). This increases exponentially when doing any sort of off-road activity (even something as simple as sand/beaching it)...
This is the real problem. So far I haven't seen any rim outside what Rivian offers that fits the R1T/S. Tires can be expensive, but rims even more so regarding something that tends to be pseudo-unique. As is, Tire Rack doesn't even offer rims for the Rivian.
Exactly! Tis why I stated about putting an applique on it before putting on such stickers. I'd rather have a device on the vehicle akin to a Sunpass that allows the vehicle access to such lanes than a sticker that will gunk up the paint job.
? possibly suggest a "camp mode" for when one does use the Yakima (or other brand) tent on the truck and still be able to lock the vehicle with little to no concern.
Fuck that. I don't care what state I live in. If I'm going to put a stick on a car that costs this much, I'm putting a protective applique first, then the sticker. Not going to botch up the paint with that sticker gunk when I decide to peel it off in case I leave that state (thank God I live in...
