Based on the OP vagueness with what the REAL issue was I suspected this was about how this thread would go. Owner of 2 A2Z adapters (Typhoons) and send everyone who needs one to them. The minimal size difference between OEM and this isn't a big deal unless you absolutely NEED that extra 3...
ABRP doesnt like dirt roads it seems. I've added over a dozen waypoints in planing and it won't calculate it. Someday.
Typically I download offline maps to at least 2 different maps. GAIA and Google is standard but InReach has been VERY handy in the past - I've had phone GPS crap the bed in...
Appreciate the Data Points. My Sedona run was mostly downhill (Schnebly) so didnt help my estimates. Some TR on here with the Alpine Loop so I am confident that can be done S/F Ouray and the Lake City Charger is ideally half way for a lunch top off if needed. Telluride also good.
FYI -...
Starting to plan some summer adventures in SW CO. I have all sorts of apps for this (TrailsOffRoad, OnX etc) but would prefer to route using onboard NAV. Is there a way to FORCE the nav to use the FS Roads, Dirt Roads etc? Eg, Can you plot running the Alpine Loop in your nav to see range...
I'll toss in some counter intuitive points here for thought. Boxes and "organization" almost always is LESS space efficient than good packing technique and process. This is true in almost any outdoor sport but Overlanding takes the cake for most expensive and bulky way to get outside. It's a...
I don't see the the point (usually ) for MOST L2 public chargers to be meaningful on road trip routes etc. As noted above, they're SLOW for nearly all "day time use". And their cost and maintenance add up for the site owner, vandalism being of particular note. Hotels and Airport parking make...
ABRP (and built in Riv Nav) are good STARTING points for longer drives but they are not the end all. To do long western Mtn pulls you 100% need to invest the time in on PlugShare to cross ref options and routes. I also pull in google mapping to see what amenities and locations are like via...
For day to day I run my R1S with the compact spare as most likely do. Starting to prep for a Colorado run this summer and working on jack setups for moderate 'wheeling eg Alpine Loop. I have a full size OEM spare (only 12k on the vehicle so stock Pirellis ATs now. Plan on Toyo EVs in future)...
FWIW, I have a subscription for my wife's MB - Actually sat connection. The subscription includes streaming which I used via my phone and BT in my past car no issue. I logged into the account via the RIVIAN app and it connected no problem with all my saved favorites. When I check online, I...
Probably not much variation to be had honestly. Rivian (And I suspect most vehicles based on PlugShare comments) cannot skip chargers in MUCH of these areas. You're basically hopping oasis to oasis.
You could change up the route from Lubbock to ABQ a little bit, perhaps skipping Clovis and...
It's the Yakima HangOver 4. Vertical bike racks are comically expensive (taking advantage of the VanLife / Overlander Instagram pricing IMO). If I lived where I was regularly transporting MTBs I might invest in a more expensive unit. The HangOver is on sale at REI for sub $400 (vs nearly $1k...
First time posting a TR here - New Rivian owner - Took delivery of 2025 Gen2 TriMax R1S in late September. Full XPEL PPF (clear) as I didnt want to worry much about branches etc. SA is home base for XPEL so great local work done on it. $$ but worth it IME. All local driving until now. This...
FYI - Anker now makes an intelligent power splitting USB-C - ordering one now. Hoping I can run the camera HD and a phone cord off one and then have the other one open for miscellaneous use
Anker USB-C Splitter - Amazon
Took delivery on 9/28 for a TriMax that VIN matched early Sept (from a Gen2 announcement order that was very close. The sales person switched my order to the Sept VIN to get it to me faster by adding the camp speaker). On delivery the sales rep thought I would be in the Jan time frame. I got...
Caprock looks interesting - has anyone tried this with the Rivian bars and the Thule crossbar kit yet? Curious how this works with an R1S in Large size and how easy it is to swap on/off the bars so I could toss a box up there instead of the platform as needed.
This is exactly what I'm leaning towards. Any chance those plate "files" are available?
My ideal system doesnt exist yet that I know of. I want a clean roof 98% of the time. I run bikes off the hitch. Only time I need platform up top is the 1-2 times a year I plan to be truly "wheeling"...
Currently out of stock - do you know when you'll have these back? Like the billet more than other options out there - cleaner wall mount, less snag potential
New owner getting into mods. Love the idea of modularity where I can "kit up" for the weekend adv and then go back to mall crawler / dinner out mode for the week.
Is there a thread or info on how you guys are wiring this all in so it's so modular / plug and play?
Could you find overland trips that exceed the current capacities of an R1 and the charging infrastructure? Absolutely. But as noted above, distance from a charger and length of trip LIKELY not pushing anything to the max for most people. It's worth pointing out that Rivian did that Trans...
