I fall into the 19” camp — since I want the most rubber possible between the rim and the road — but when my number comes up I’ll go with the 21” wheels since they’re the cheapest option, and then swap them for the 19” wheels when they become available.
Wow, have not heard that yet. We frequent RV parks up and down the West Coast including Canada and have never had a problem. I did have a KOA manager express her concern over how much current I would draw because of the age of their infrastructure. After our discussion she admitted that the...
It would probably add a day (or two) to your trip but you could consider spending a night at an RV park with 50 amp service in between SuperChargers and charge up to 100% overnight.
Nope, I just carry a puncture repair kit but, in the interest of full disclosure, I don’t do any serious off-roading. When I’m on a road trip my vehicle is fully packed so if I don’t have room for a full-sized spare then I don’t have room for a full-sized flat either.
Just upgraded to 2026.15.0 on my ‘23 Gen 1 DM R1T but I don’t remember ever experiencing what you describe. I have experienced the ‘klunk’ when accelerating and I’m hoping that goes away with this new release.
The Violent Femmes had the perfect response in Kiss Off:

I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record
Oh, yeah?
Well, don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?
Interesting. In stop & go traffic (or in the mountains) I would expect the heavier trailer to have lower efficiency but at freeway speeds I would expect the box trailer to have lower efficiency.
I agree with 3 of the 4 but I’ve found that elevation makes a huge difference. We routinely tow our 28’ AS over the Cascades and climbing drops our mi/kWh to 0.5 while, of course, we gain range coming back down but nowhere near enough to offset the energy used climbing.
I beg to differ. I use my 2023 R1T to drag my 28’ AS up and down the west coast with a range somewhere between 120-160 miles depending on the terrain. During these extended road trips the most important factor, for me, is the number of trailer-friendly SuperCharger’s. My wife & I like to stop...
