My truck struggled in the heat,
Like a desert in the backseat.
I brought it to service the next week
So they could take a peek.
They noticed the cooling was deplete,
So they filled it back to complete.
I thought the problem was obsolete,
But alas, the cooling was still meek.
The situation looked...
No comment on the video since I have not watched it yet, but the reason for the clickbate title is 100% catering to Youtube's algorithm. Same goes for other similarly titled videos. These content creators are just doing what they need to in order to reach the widest possible audience. Once you...

This is my first truck as well, so by no means an expert, but I have been looking into various products for hauling stuff.
Recently used this to pick up a half yard of compost and it worked great. Much easier to use and more convenient than just a regular tarp (no tie downs necessary).
I...
Yes, 90% of the time I drive with my hand at the 12 o'clock position, so my steering wheel is set at the lowest height and furthest distance from me. I realize I could adjust this for a better view of the driver dash screen, but it is less comfortable. So either I live with the obstructed view...
Same. Anything on the top of the driver dash screen including my current speed I cannot see unless I bend down to peek under the top of the steering wheel. I've seen other members comment the same. Hopefully a future OTA update will allow us to customize the layout more.
Not trying to defend Rivian for doing this, but I can't imagine that skimping on a few tiny pieces of plastic is saving them any meaningful amount of money. Could it be another supply chain issue where they didn't want to stop production just because they ran out? Either way, saying nothing and...
Considering their site says "new orders will install in October", I wasn't expecting anything this year. Optimistic for next year though, and please do post if you find out anymore "inside" information.
Looks great! I didn't realize there was already an overland camper shell on the market (which makes sense because you mentioned this was a custom build).
Someone here mentioned that lonepeakoverland.com was designing one for the R1T, which is what I have been waiting for. I prefer the style of...
My biggest gripe at the moment is that I can't really see any of the important information on the driver dash screen. The only thing I can see consistently is what is the most useless to me; the rendering of my truck and the grey vehicles around it (which is much more distracting than it is...
I realize it is not what you asked for, but fwiw EV Sportline offers a bed liner that adds some grip to prevent items from sliding around (as well as protection) https://evsportline.com/products/team-1ev-precision-fitment-bed-mat-for-rivian-r1t. I bought it for my R1T and it fits well and serves...
For a 12' kayak, I would think a bed extender like the one shown in this post is what you would need. If you have the kayak mounts on top of the cab it would likely work pretty well.
I think a lot of owners are misdiagnosing the short period of time it takes the truck to wake up from its sleep state and unlock as being unresponsive or unreliable. Once the car is awake there is no delay to lock or unlock with the fob.
