  1. How much/what kind of off-roading can you do with the 22” wheels?

    The R1T truck with 22-inch wheels can handle easy off-road driving, like on Sedona's trails. Even though bigger wheels might slightly affect off-road performance by having less sidewall, Rivian designed the R1T with fancy suspension and traction control systems to make up for it.

    Have you had the suspension components checked? Sometimes issues with suspension bushings or even tire wear can contribute to a persistent pull.

    Those red lights in service mode could totally be a heads-up that something's up with your ride. It might be related to the charging and climate control hiccups you're experiencing.

  7. Leaking (hydraulic?) fluid above rear control arm pivot point.

    I think it's a hydraulic suspension fluid leaking from above the rear control arm pivot point. Since it's thin and oily, it seems less likely to be grease from a CV boot. Driving with a leak in the suspension system can be dangerous because it affects the vehicle's handling and stability and can...

    From experience, that clicking could point to a malfunctioning window regulator.

So, if you suspect misalignment might be the culprit, it's definitely worth getting it checked out. A skilled technician should be able to pinpoint the...
  10. Flickering/flashing warning lights?

    I've been there too. Even after the update, I still had to do a reset to fix it. If the problem sticks around after your update, I'd say give the wiring harness and connectors a once-over. Sometimes, these issues can stem from loose connections or faulty wiring, especially if the flickering...
  11. Dash BRAKE light stays on continuously. Normal?

    I'd suggest double-checking that the parking brake is completely released. Also, it's probably there might be a hiccup in some of the brake system parts like the brake pads, brake lines, or brake master cylinder.

  13. Loud drive unit in new dual motor R1S

    I also think the noise you're hearing can be related to the wheel bearings. Another suggestion is to check the condition of your tires and make sure they're aligned properly. Sometimes, Uneven tire wear or misalignment similar kind of noise, especially at certain speeds.
  14. Flashlight not popping out

    Try gently twisting it while applying a bit more pressure. New holders can sometimes be a bit tight. If it's still stuck, take a look inside for anything blocking the flashlight's release.

    Firstly, check the latch mechanism thoroughly. Sometimes, even a small misalignment can lead to unwanted sounds, especially during sharp turns. Ensure that all components are fastened and aligned properly. Lubricating the latch mechanism could also potentially alleviate any friction-related...
  16. Cleaning Mud off of plastic trim

    I had a similar thing happen with my R1S. What worked for me was Meguiar's PlastX. It's a dedicated plastic cleaner, and I've found it effective on various types. After the cleanup, I applied 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's like a shield against mud and dirt buildup. And I’m quite satisfied with...
  17. PPF on the roof shark fin?

    For the best results, I'd suggest going for a super flexible, top-notch PPF material. Before you apply it, make sure to give the shark fin housing a good clean and degrease.

    I've been using quick-release hitch pins. They're easy to install and remove without the cotter pin hassle. Look for ones with a secure locking mechanism.

    If your front sensor is acting up, it could mess with different things, and there might be a connection to your suspension system.

  20. Suspension raising every time I get in my R1T. Anyone else?
