I just got my new quad this week. IMO if one can spring for it, do it. It's so much more refined and dialed in than my OG 22 Quad was (which was my favorite vehicle ever, before trading it in for the '26). The power tonneau cover is so much faster, smoother and quieter. I don't notice a...
Great write up! I'm thisclose to trading in my r1t gen 1 qm for a gen 2 qm....my gen 1 has been my favorite vehicle ever so my only hesitation is will the gen 2 be better...or will i regret it?
A few months ago for my Gen 1 R1T back Rivian replaced both front halfshafts/hubs and dampers, and the drivers side rear halfshaft. They also replaced the jounce lines.
In the front I had noticed squeaking over bumps (jounce lines) and the play when going from acceleration to regen (both these...
The Lightning is...fine. My husband initially liked it as it was the same as his ICE F150-but electric. We've owned one for almost 3 years. Compared to Rivian, both the ford software and app are awful, and the range and charging (dcfc) are not good. However, it's a great truck for local work...
Our Cadillac escalade IQ easily goes 400 miles at highway speeds (75mph +). Of course it has a battery that is enormous...
I agree with an advantage of BEV being home and destination charging and that faster DCFC charging is better!
This is how I feel too! Our escalade IQ will pull in 55kwh in...
If you haven't been in a Gen 2, you won't notice the difference between the cameras and ride quality; I haven't been in one so I can't speak to those (though others here have and have provided good information). I am very happy with my Gen 1 2022 LE QM R1T. I did purchase it pre-owned and Rivian...
I appreciated and enjoyed the Halloween mode, not as fun as 2024 but still neat. It did make me think about upgrading to a Gen 2 before next year though....
I had halloween mode on (motion activated) yesterday while I was at work. In 8 1/2 hours it drained 8% of my battery. On a typical day my truck will lose 1% in that same time period (with gg always on). So a significant increase in energy usage. Gen 1 2022 r1t.
