I imagine that with a similar side are exposure to the wind and total weight being the variable, that the Rivian at 7000+ pounds would be less affected by the wind.
This is a post I made in another forum after a trip from upstate NY to Chicago. I would add some advice about the trailer and charging. The tongue weight will be quite heavy and you may have to drop the trailer to charge in some locations. I bought a small bottle jack to lift the trailer from...
I’ve had this issue intermittently for the past 10 days. Mine was not occurring during or related to DC charging. My truck is currently at the Brooklyn service center.
The trip was great. Yes, it’s a pain using public chargers with a trailer. I somehow managed not to have to drop the trailer, but I did get some nasty looks. ;-) The 50% range hit is what the truck is going to give you when you hook-up and it goes to tow mode. I found that I could beat its...
