Uggg now I’m not so sure about leaving my dogs in the truck while running errands…. Might have to leave windows rolled down to give them an escape.
Not to a ramp just yet, but ended up getting a 4” thick polymetric matt for dogs to land on whenever they are jumping out of truck at home…just to make it easier on their joints. My 9 yr old is happier. Used to make a 2 step trot to get out…now he just jumps from the bench seat onto the plyo matt.
Hopefully it’ll divert significant potential 4Runner customers away from Toyota… they make good vehicles but a bit ticked off by their lobbying against policies that support EVs.
if the rear gate window does roll down, that will be a heavenly ride for my dogs. but hopefully they will engineer and isolate the wind noise if it’s a rolling window.
to everyone feeling betrayed by Rivian for this deal with the devil, Google, please make your voices heard. Flood Wassim’s twitter feed / let him hear it. Same on RJ’s feed. And submit feedback on the app, and email Rivian customer service. This is a huge breach of trust and faith for me and...
I got the Toyo ATiii LT275/65r20 EV. Was hoping for the SLs but those are 3-4 months backordered and I was down to 2/32”.
so far, 1000 miles in, 2.07 mpkwh, slowly improving. Even if it tapers off, I’m happy with the smoother and quieter ride with the tradeoff on slightly lower mpkwh vs stock...
I had called Tire Rack last week before pulling the trigger… they said they were expecting an additional batch of the SL sometime mid to late June, but also had 25+ orders in the queue. Maybe call them and ask?
put it this way… you can’t go wrong with either SL or the LT version of Toyo AT3 EVs, when comparing them to the Pirelli Scorpion ATs 275/65r20 that came from the Factory on my gen1. I was down to 2-4/32” on rear tires so made the decision to go with LT toyos. Only have 50 miles in so far...
They did another alignment and couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Picked up the truck Friday last week. As of yesterday morning, the truck is pulling to the right again. So that lasted about 3 days lol.
I have a QM. The pull to the right is very pronounced in conserve mode (front 2 motors...
My SL version order at DT in Thornton CO got cancelled. They called Toyo and couldn’t get a lead time, “nationwide back order”… wonder if they are trying to upsell the LT.
They called and gave the same generic non-answer answer - that the castor was too high or something like that. Get the truck back on Tuesday. Will see what the ticket shows.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if the windshield rain sensors detected rain, it would trigger closing all windows if vehicle is parked for an extended duration at a known location/ home/garage/work. But make it an optional feature.
Also looks like bad timing…. Tariffs? This was in the mid 400s (434~) in March. Now it’s 517 each, pre install/taxes etc. 2680 after install/road hazard/taxes/military discount etc.

If your 2023 Rivian R1T shows excessive wear on the passenger rear tire (and the wheel alignment is not the issue), several other possible causes could be responsible. Here are the most common ones to check:
1. Suspension Issues
Worn or damaged bushings, control arms, or shocks on...
