Replacement pin worked perfect. As you can see not much longer…

I just emailed this suggestion to Customer Service after my first use with the rack: “I regularly use a hitch mounted bike rack and the constant alarm when backing up is not pleasant. Is there a way to scan the location of the rack (with or without bikes) and block that out when in “hitch mode”...

Sorry if this has been covered. The receiver on the R1T is built tough and therefore lots of reinforcing metal. The standard pin I purchased (3”, I think - see pic) was about 1/8” too short.

I use a 1-Up hitch rack. I prefer the lower height. Though, it does block the license plate area from view when bikes are loaded or the rack is folded up when not transporting a bike(s). Also, I have to fold it down if I want to open the tailgate.

That’s 13 trucks. Sounds like many more…

I recommend you bypass your guide and call customer service directly. If you cannot rely on the information for your guide, get someone else involved.

Expect 2 months and be delighted if it happens sooner...

Make Rivian pay for the charges to get home...

I'm nearly 4 weeks since guide contact and I'm expecting 4 weeks more....

1,212 days in and counting... But, I think I'm getting close!

I'm inclined to consider the Rivian policy at least until production ramps up more. So a year or two of higher premiums could be worth it for awhile... I can always switch later.
