  1. What did you replace your 20" OEM Pirelli tires with and why?

    I’ve made numerous bad automotive decisions in my life, but switching from the Pirellis to the Toyo Open Country III EVs was not one of them. If you are going to do basic off road trails and back country roads, the standard SL have a slightly higher load rating than the OEM Pirellis. If you...
  2. Edmunds' 2025 Gen2 R1T Dual Motor vs. Tacoma TRD Pro Off-Road Comparison

    I am pretty sure that the DM do not have all of the modes that the Quads come with. Looking at the price of slightly used Quads though makes them look like the obvious answer to me. I’ve tackled tons of trails in my Quad and love it. Drift Mode alone is worth the price of admission.
  3. Motortrend reviews new 2025 R1T Quad Max. $111,700 est price -- "So, It’s Fast. But There’s Way More Here."

    To me, this just reinforces what an absolute steal the early adopters got on the OG quads. I really believe they will be sought after for those in the know.. Especially for us who locked down the Forest Edge interior. Large battery size, all of the options, and a sticker close to $40k cheaper...
  4. Cracked Windshield...Again...What a nightmare!

    Get windshield protection film. Ive had my R1T for about 2.5 years and after the first rock took out my windshield early on, I had a windshield protection film applied. Until two weeks ago, I had no problems despite multiple hits Then on a recent roadtrip while driving through LouisianaI, I...
  5. 2022 R1T Quad Demo or 2nd Gen R1T Dual Standard?

    I’m biased but the Drift and Rally modes in the Quad make this a no brainer for me. I kind of feel bad for the Rivian owners who don’t have those options. In all seriousness though, I love my Quad and would do it again in a heartbeat. I love interesting drivetrains and really believe they will...
  6. New "Bolt-in" Flip-out Bed Extender for Rivian R1T -- NO Drilling, NO Screws into bedliner...pure BOLT ON! EV Sportline

    So I had a similar thought and had been looking at the two for over a week. I pulled the trigger on the EV Sportline today because of the engineering. For me it was less about drilling holes in the bed but more about the strength (or lack thereof) that the screw in the bed would support from...
  7. Trading 2023 R1S in for a 2024 R1S

    It's interesting to see peoples different views, but I am the opposite mentality. I have a relatively early R1T and I think that it is optioned nicer than the newer builds. I have a working and updated powered tonneau, the Meridian, more wood trim, a 12v charger in the front trunk.... The...
  8. R1T vs Raptor R U-Drag Race: Quarter Mile, Handling & More! [Edmunds]

    So I actually have a first gen Raptor with the 6.2 for this reason. It’s a different kind o fun than my R1T. Both amazing for their own reasons.
  9. R1T vs Raptor R U-Drag Race: Quarter Mile, Handling & More! [Edmunds]

    Ummmm.. You know the R1T has a higher payload and towing capacities than both Raptors and also won the Rebelle Rally, right??? You know. Truck Stuff.
  10. R1T vs Raptor R U-Drag Race: Quarter Mile, Handling & More! [Edmunds]

    As a Lotus enthusiast, I often think about Colin Chapman's quote "Adding horsepower makes you faster in the straights. Removing weight makes you faster everywhere." Mr. Chapman was not wrong, but the fact that the R1T does what it does just speaks to the engineering behind it.
  11. R1T vs Raptor R U-Drag Race: Quarter Mile, Handling & More! [Edmunds]

    Edmunds does a U-Drags series which is a good test of vehicle performance. Here is the R1T vs Raptor R. I do not think the results will surprise anyone here, but fun to watch. To me, the video just reinforces how impressive the R1s are.
  12. SLC Service Center Horrible - Unresponsive

    I have to agree that the SLC service center continues to disappoint me. On a recent new windshield installation, the service center broke the left interior trim on the driver side A-pillar and damaged the passenger side A-pillar trim. They returned it to me damaged. When they finally came to fix...
  13. Rivian off roading photos -- post yours!

    Most recent trip this weekend to Moab, UT.
  14. Forest Edge Owners - Any Regrets?

    I’ve had my FG/FE one year. A few months ago, I was given a loaner R1 with a Black Mountain interior for a few days. Getting back into my R1T with FE only reinforced how much I prefer the FE interior. To me, the contrast is just so much nicer than the BM and I don’t have the concerns about...
  15. Exploring Moab with my R1T and dogs

    Years ago, the TV show Mythbusters did a test to see if drifting a car was in any way quicker around a track compared to traditional racing lines. The answer was that is was actually slower, but arguably much more fun. That logic also holds true to the R1. Rally is probably the quickest way to...
  16. Exploring Moab with my R1T and dogs

    I did not get to them this trip but have done them in the past. Both are great options. This trip turned into more of an experiment to see how an EV gets by there with limited infrastructure. I actually had the trip to Moab on the calendar and was going to take my 4Runner but my wife...
  17. Exploring Moab with my R1T and dogs

    I agree about the coffee shop in Green River. They are also super dog friendly. If it is closed, there is a park a block away with facilities and water. It was a great trip!
