Ah, gotcha. I was comparing Rivian to the Ramcharger. You were comparing Ramcharger to ICE. While the Ramcharger should burn less fossil fuels than ICE (to your point), it still burns more than the Rivian (my point)!

I think you're agreeing with me, then? I was stating that the downside to driving a Ramcharger (which uses an onboard gas-powered generator to produce electricity) is burning fossil fuel.

Fair enough, I appreciate your point that the USA still has a lot of natural gas and coal power production. In Canada our electricity across the whole country is almost 85% zero-carbon sources. But I guess my point is that the source of energy you're actually using to charge your truck is the...

That depends on your location.... Here in Ontario less than 10% of our grid's power is from fossil fuels (natural gas only, we have no coal power plants). The rest is zero-carbon sources including nuclear, water, wind, and solar.

Well, the downside is burning fossil fuel, to be fair.

Sorry, it's not clear to me based on your post.... Is one of your vehicles a quad and the other a dual? I've been hoping someone who has towed with both a quad and a dual could provide meaningful data or feedback regarding the efficiency of both when towing. You also comment about the...

They don't all do 48A. For example, the Grizzl-e chargers are a popular option (and a Canadian product to boot), but they only do 40A. Some will also do more than 48A, if you think that may be of future value to you.

Well, I don't have my vehicle yet.... But if it helps in anyway, I plan to go with a Chargepoint Flex as it it's cable is reported to have by far the best cold-weather performance (ie, it doesn't turn into a super stiff unwieldy PITA when it's below freezing out). My charger will be outside...

What prompted the switch? Was there something about the Quad that wasn't ideal for you? Or something in particular about the Dual you were after?

Hey GTA-based R1T owners: TuxMat is looking for an R1T owner willing to let them scan their vehicle so they can produce floor mats for the R1T. I'm sure there are many R1T owners that would be very grateful if someone had the time to help out TuxMat and the rest of us so they can make some...

This is basically my use case, pulling an airstream but with bikes above the bed. I'm happy to hear the tailgate can open enough to allow a panel to be removed. This alleviates one of the major fears I had. It still doesn't sound "convenient", but I'm not full-timing in the airstream (only...

Thanks for the perspective @PhatDaddy. I think I'm coming around to this same conclusion based on yours and others thoughts. I keep thinking the PTC is just around the corner, but who knows. Maybe it is. But the VERY slow roll-out of retrofits to existing trucks suggests otherwise. It feels...

Anyone have any experience with a roll-up tonneau and the cross-bars? Would it be possible to roll up the tonneau cover with the cross bars mounted on the bed?

Wowzers. I had looked at this and assumed the panels would fit considering the bed is slightly longer than it is wide. Thanks for confirming. That's a bit of a pain.

Hmmm... Surely the panels fit lengthwise in the bed, no?

Thanks @racekarl and @MountainBikeDude and @ndmiller , I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the reply and perspective. I've considered a roll-up but haven't been able to find anyone that can confirm if it can still roll with the cross bars on. I'd also prefer the bed be secure, but agree that a roll-up could potentially be a reasonable compromise. You're right, gotta...

Hi all, I've been holding off with completing my R1T purchase (pre-hike reservation holder) until the powered tonneau cover is reintroduced because I believe it will be far more convenient for my personal use case. I'm imagining two inconvenient scenarios: 1) I plan to regularly carry...

I see this is already resolved, but just wanted to note that I got the same email on January 6th. Located in Canada.

They've already started retrofits on customer R1T's that were delivered with the PTC, although very slowly and in batches, likely organized by VIN and location based on forum reports. Who knows when and if retrofits to trucks without a cover will begin. The PTC will first need to show up in...
