  1. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    I'm definitely going to miss the frunk and gear tunnel. Those are awesome!
  2. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    You're right! I went for the more basic Heritage spec because I felt like the price accurately matched the overall quality of the vehicle. I seriously considered the 60th Anniversary Outer Banks edition, but it would've cost $10-12K more than the Heritage and just didn't feel worth it. Mid...
  3. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    This thread has gone in several different directions including, somehow, snowmobiles. I love it! Thanks all for the contributions, insight, opinions, and dialogue. Like Badger4149 said, I'm glad we have choices!
  4. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    Grenadier was on my short list two years ago and again two months ago. They're great! I'll own a Grenadier or Quartermaster sometime in the not too distant future. Also, I hope you pulled the trigger on that Unimog! It looks bitchin!!!
  5. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    Make cars great again! Can someone drop an EV drivetrain in a late 90s 2 door Tahoe or Bronco Eddie Bauer. I'd buy both of those!!
  6. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    Great choice! I really wanted a manual Bronco. I know they have manuals, but they're hard to find. And I had a very specific color configuration I was searching for and there were no manuals available in that configuration in a 500 mile radius. Love driving a stick!
  7. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    I think people would love EV driving if it came in a "normal" package. Rivian comes very close to offering that, but it still always felt like I was driving a computer. I wish the F150 Lightning would've had more commercial success so other traditional auto manufacturers would follow suit.
  8. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    I would've given it a serious look! I was looking at F150 Lightnings and almost pulled the trigger on one. I thought those were a great example of a "real" truck with an EV powertrain...a perfect combo! But I thought a red Bronco would be a bit more fun for a midlife crisis car.
  9. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    When I bought the R1T saving the planet or reducing emissions wasn't even on my list of reasons why. I just liked the styling, the driving experience, and the convenience of plugging it in at home. But the damn thing was $95K!! My Bronco was $54K and it brings me just as much joy, probably...
  10. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    Obviously a very different vehicle and very different driving experience. But I'm loving the Bronco! I forgot how nice it is to have intuitive knobs and switches controlling things inside the car. 30 years of driving-related muscle memory means it just feels like home to have a "normal"...
  11. No Internet Connection after 2026.15.0 Update

    I'm having the same issue. I do not have Connect+ and instead run a shortcut using my phone as a hotspot. It's always worked perfectly and instantly connected until the most recent OTA update. Now it takes 10+ minutes to connect and then after connecting, will frequently disconnect or...
  12. Current Rivian owners - What’s one change that would make you happier?

    Put it in Rally mode and you can drive on high suspension setting above 45mph
  13. Switch to Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 from Pirelli Scorpion 275/55 R21

    My OEM 22" Pirellis lasted 15K and I hated them the entire time. Put on Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 last week and have been impressed so far. It's a very limited sample size (only a couple hundred miles) but they seem smoother and quieter, which could just be attributed to new vs worn tires...
  14. R1T quad Gen 1 34s and 22 wheels

    This is bitchin' and I'm going to do the same thing! I'm unimpressed with the stock Pirellis but I love my 22" dark wheels. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Bait and switch - frustrated with inability to use music apps without Connect+

    I have no problem with Rivian charging for connectivity to their hotspot, priority OTA updates, and some other features. But it’s crappy that Spotify is behind that paywall. That’s a poor decision by Rivian. I guess it’s consistent with all their other questionable music-related decisions. RJ...
  16. Price Cut on Silverado EV

    My next truck will likely be a Lightning. For me the R1T is both a gateway truck and a gateway EV. But I don't need all the fancy stuff the Rivian does so a Lightning (or maybe the Silverado EV) would work great. And it has a lot more interior room than my Riv. That's important since I'm...
  17. Fielding Questions on your R1

    I get asked about my Defender a lot more than my Rivian. And sometimes I get asked about both or which one I like better. My answer is always the same. I like the Rivian a lot, but I LOVE my Defender!
  18. Just traded Gen1 for Gen2 - Accent Lighting not always on?

    Confirmed the new accent lights are always on in my gen 1 R1T.
