The ICE does NOT ever power the drivetrain. It is a full electric truck all the time with a range extender that does nothing other than charge the battery.

I have to agree totally. It is what most people want in an electric truck. Myself included. I love my Rivian but I still take one of my ICE vehicles on long trips where charging isn't convenient or non existent especially when towing. Even for my company, we have 2 hybrid vehicles but due to the...

You are correct about pressure/weight. I said what I said based on the assumption of that ratio being the same between the tires. The point was a 275mm wide tire is 275mm wide no matter how tall it is (aspect ratio 60 vs factory 65). Pressure/weight will always be the final deciding factor in...

The tire he is using is smaller in diameter the contact patch should be the same 275mm.

I don't have any issues and use my phone all the time to lock/unlock/drive my '24 R1T. I have a Samsung S24 ultra so maybe Android has less issues with the app than Apple. If it matters, I'm over 50. I love the idea of using my phone to operate my truck. I do keep the card in my wallet just in...

We used to live in Ft. Collins. Moved south 8 years ago. The drive is so much better coming up the back way from the south. Deer are the only things to watch for.

I live in southern Colorado. We come up Colorado 9 through Alma from the other side of Breck. I didn't want the extra 20 min one way drive to a Supercharger from the place we were staying at peak 9. That 40min round trip cuts into my ski and fun time. If I drive my ICE, I can stop anywhere and...

In a few months the Ramcharger will be out. It is a fully electric Ram 1500 with a range extender that is a Pentastar V6. They are claiming approx. 700 miles with a full tank of gas and a full charge on the battery. 4.5 sec to 60mph and approx. 14,000lb towing.

Also. There aren't as many charging stations as there are gas stations so the anxiety kicks in. For myself, my wife and I went to Breckenridge, CO a couple of weeks ago for 2 days (2hr 10min from our home) and we took our ICE vehicle because I didn't want to try to find a fast charger that...

Just pre cool your vehicle before you get in when it sits outside. Mine is just the regular roof and I have noticed very little difference between it and our Hyundai that has an electric sunshade. Your front and side windows will cause most of the heat. You could also tint it if it bothers you...

It will just force people (companies) to find another way without as much government money. I was hoping the incoming admin was going to move more to the center with policies but it looks like certain things are going to go too far to the right. It seems like that is our only choices lately (far...

I guess everyone's experience is different. I had a Chevy dealer back in 2009 claim my cat back exhaust caused an issue with my truck. I had an attorney friend write a letter to the dealership citing the MMA and wanting proof and next thing you know my truck was fixed under warranty. You can...

The Magnuson Moss act protects you from that. You can use aftermarket parts without voiding your warranty. The only way using an aftermarket part would void your warranty is if the manufacturer can prove the part you used caused a problem.

For a Colorado Springs, CO SC it takes about 2 to 4 weeks for an appointment depending on the issue. Once in for service it usually takes 1 -5 days, at least for me. I recently hit a big pothole and knocked the alignment out. The SC sent me to a local body shop and I had it in to them in two...

Just tried it and it worked fine. I have a Samsung S24 Ultra.

I think I could get used to the blinkers, headlight and shift not being physical buttons but things like that have been the same for decades and don't require any thought to use (except the round shift knob my last Ram had. Even after 9 years with it, I still didn't like it). But hey, I still...

I guess I'm used to that from having had three Ram's. I have grown to love the reduced number of buttons in the R1T. I don't like what Tesla is doing. They have to few buttons. Certain things need to remain physical controls (Blinkers, wipers, headlights, gear selector, cruise).

Please expand on the "Dodge EV's extreme old-thing design" comment. I have been keeping an eye on the REV RAM coming out (before my R1T I had 3 Ram 1500's) and am curious why you think that.

Have you had it come off in a car wash? I have hesitated getting it because I don't want to have to take it off every time I take the truck through the wash. So far I haven't put the front plate on (8 months in). In Colorado we are supposed to have front plates but most of the Rivians and Teslas...

I think the biggest thing missed is that we DON"T have the data to say whether Rivian is reliable or not. We all just have our own experiences and the experiences of people on this forum. To be able to say Rivian is reliable or not, we need a large enough sample of the whole pie to be...
