R1T and Pebble Flow - First Journey
We picked up our new Pebble Flow Founders Edition at Pebble HQ in Fremont CA on 11/19/25 and began our indirect journey home to Durango CO. We’re towing with our R1T, dual motor, performance, max pack on 21” Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires. This same truck...
I happened to travel US 160 from Durango to Colorado Springs, and lo and behold - a new RAN has sprung up in Del Norte. Great positioning for those making the trip to Great Sand Dunes NP or Colorado Springs. The actual location, however is dismal - hidden across a gravel lot behind a grocery...
I use this iPhone holder, which has been solid even on rough babkcountry tracks.

Now I’m seeking something similar for an iPad mini to use with the control pad for our soon to be delivered Pebble Flow trailer. I hate more...
Yep, the pedestals are still wearing white plastic, but standing tall in the parking lot of the new (not yet open) REI in Durango CO. Not that I’ll have need, with home charging, but I’m happy to see this installation. No food within walking, but I trust that REI will allow bathroom usage.
At 1430 on Wednesday, 6/11, my R1T displayed a message stating the need to replace my 12v battery (the truck was delivered 18 mos ago). I called Rivian service, and by 1530 the Colorado Springs Service Center (a lovely 320 mile drive from my home) had arranged to expedite a new battery to the...
We just completed a 1260 mile camping trip through Utah (Zion, Bryce Canyon etc.) towing our 7500 lb 28’ Airstream with our R1T (dual, performance, max). Much of this route was through the Navajo nation - pretty scarce on facilities. We used only nine public fast charging sites, thanks to...
We enjoyed two new RMP EA installations during our recent 1300 mile trip towing our 28’ Airstream. A beautiful installation with trailer lane in MOAB, right in the riverside park. Also one off of I40 in Ivey Creek Rest Area. Both with new generation 350kW EA chargers. Great to see and use!
Rivian - are you listening?
My experience with charging at EA has been nearly 100 successful, with dozens of sessions during our long distance road trips towing our Airstream. I’ve found that EA Pass+ is second to only to RAN in pricing. The few instances of difficulty have been due to...
While towing, cruise control on my R1T consistently shuts down after 10 minutes or so, with the message “Radar sensors blocked” appearing on my drivers screen. The sensors are clean - I’ve cleaned them with the same result many times. I raised this issue when I brought the truck to a service...
Well, I cracked my windshield due to a flying stone on I-10 in the early days of a two month road trip.
My insurer GEICO quickly arranged replacement by Safelite Auto Glass at a planned stopover, but Safelite advises that the windshield camera may need recalibration. Rivian advises that their...
Now I’m not whining, I’m really fishing for ideas. The tailgate on my R1T is heavier to operate than my RAM 2500 HD, due to the lack of any opening damper or lift assist. Sure I can operate it, but it’s not easy for my wife. This is an obvious oversight on a most technically advanced truck...
I’m at a RAN in Holbrook, AZ (behind a Taco Bell). Each charger is facing away from the R1T when you park in the stall. One must walk into the adjacent stall to view the status screen. Did the installation contractor get this backwards or do I have unusual expectations?
I’ve used an Equalizer weight distribution hitch for a dozen years, through four tow vehicles. When we launched on our recent 3800 mile winter trip with our new R1T towing our 8000 lb Airstream, I simply mounted the Equalizer without alteration from our RAM 2500. It happened to be very well set...
I am charging in campgrounds on this travel camping trip, which is a huge benefit.
I’m frustrated, however, by the green light bar on the R1T lighting up like a sign advertising that I am charging. I lock the vehicle, and it turns off, but if I touch my phone or key fob in the trailer, it...
Durango CO to Ocean Springs, MS and now returning west to Big Bend NP. We’re 1800 miles into this planned 5000 mile winter trip, towing our 28’ Airstream (7500 lbs) and the experience has been great.
Our dual motor performance max pack R1T has performed flawlessly. It is a smoother, more...
I grew impatient with delays on my manual tonneau. With a long trip approaching, I took matters in hand, built my own and requested a refund on my order. The project was very easy. I ordered three panels of 1/2“ STARLITE (HDPE BOARD) from BoatOutfitters.com precisely pre-cut to fit the...
I’m seeking a solution for 12v power on the dash of my new R1T. This is to power a Furrion Vision S monitor for the rear camera on my travel trailer. I find no 12v outlets, only USB C sockets on the front seatbacks. Perhaps someone has found a solution for this?
My R1T had not received the software update when I took delivery on 12/1 . Now I’ve updated, and the LIGHTNING BOLT which brought up the ENERGY screen has disappeared. Can someone please enlighten me as to how to access charging controls?
I picked up my new Dual Motor Max Pack Performance R1T with 21” road wheels at the Denver Service Center yesterday. I also picked up a barely used 21” spare from an owner near Denver.
I had worried a bit about the Scorpion tires in ice and snow, and am happy to say that the truck and tires...
