Good way to try and promote a couple youtube videos I guess. If you are worried, then you should definitely not buy. But before this, I had an F-150 for 12 years that I spent close to 30 K over that time in maintenance and major repairs, including having to replace a timing chain 1000kms...

I'm pretty pleased with the refined nature of my '24 R1T maxpack. The only thing I've got to get serviced is there is a tiny amount of wind noise coming from the passenger side door at 70 mph speeds. The vampire drain is a known issue, but there is a lot going on communication wise from the...

Umm, yeah Meh.

Picked mine up today, and installed them. The first side took about an hour and a half. The second side, I had down to a science and took only about 45 minutes. Even though I have a good impact gun, I'm not a big believer in using them for everything, especially specialty fasteners and lug...

Thanks for the feedback, mine were drop shipped and picking them up on Saturday hopefully

Thanks for posting your modification. I just installed mine, but will probably do the same rail-mod on the next sunny weekend. Ordered mine from Summit Racing, just because I've ordered a lot of stuff from them over the years and their return policy is among the best. Took me about 45 minutes...

Sign me up. R3 reservation for my wife which will be bungled by me, in mistakenly placing our deposit on an R3X. After all, being able to climb wheelstops and parking lot curbs is very underrated. So is an under 3 second zero to 60.

I'd like to hear a little feedback from R1 owners who have had these for a while. We get a lot of salt/snow slush in the winter. I don't mind repainting any scuffed up areas due to off-roading but be great to see how they hold up after some rough weather.

Word is that the tent will be "Rust" Colored to match the CT paint scheme. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-rusting-complaints-from-owners/

As soon as I saw this, after the initial shock of the R3 set in, I had to figure out how to convince the wife that we really need a Tri-Motor R3X, instead of the R3. Rivian really nailed this design, my wife didn't like the R2, but asked me when the the R3 comes out. Can't wait until they open...

Just to summarize so people don't have to browse the whole thread. Fact; The Ram wheel/rim in question was designed for a 1500 series Ram truck which has a Gross Vehicle weight approximately 2000# less than the Rivian, and has no identifiable load rating/capacity. Fact; Known to the truck...

Clearly you will, but in case a few people who read this thread happen to weight the options. While the lug nut spacing might be the same, In addition to everything else, the Chrysler/Ram/Stellantis wheel uses a larger center bore diameter. So what that means, instead of the wheel load being...

Could care less. That company has reputation for major wheel failures. Just because you say it's okay to use a 15-17 year old second hand wheel on a truck with 2000# + Gross vehicle rating?? I bet if something happens, both your vehicle insurance and warranty is voided. Why people will cheap...

Not really. it's not up to me to do the math. It's up to an owner to put a properly spec'd part on their vehicle. So it's rather the opposite. You are trying to justify adding an unrated wheel on your vehicle, and saying "prove that it can't go there." Do you have anything in writing from...

Coupled with the door sticker, it starts on page 240 in the R1T owner's manual, along with the math. Sure it relates to tires, but I'm guessing Rivian didn't know people would put a used $50 2008 Dodge Ram wheel on their $70K trucks. I mean the gross weight of the R1T is only 2000 lbs more, what...

(I don't have my R1 yet) But HERE's an example from another forum member. You have to look on your own truck. So if you have 21's for example they are a 116/XL capacity tire.

Less than XL capacity or less than what the door sticker states on your vehicle/owners manual

Yeah, you definitely want to do your research. Just as not using winter tires in adverse/snow conditions could potentially have you liable on your insurance; If a non-OEM wheel were to (I assume rarely) fail and it was not to specified capacity, you could be on the hook for costs related to an...

We went to the Vancouver service centre a couple of weekends ago, to show my wife the colours. Just in case there is anything coming up early (I ordered the blue) But got the green light on the Granite, Forest Green, and the blue. The green R1S looked terrific in the sunlight. Hoping they...

Yes and no. We use it in our truck (black) all the time in the summer. It's pretty hot, (40 C 104 F +/-) so crack the sunroof open when we park at the beach to keep it cooler. Crows nesting where I park at home dropped sticks on the roof of my truck. Jammed and broke the mechanism, as they...
