    Increased tire noise from OEM Pirelli 20" ATs after 13k miles

    I could have got 35-40k out of them, but at 30k I couldnā€™t take it anymore.

    Is range improvement over time possible?

    Most likely itā€™s the warmer weather thatā€™s giving you improvements. I have been enjoying much improved efficiency since itā€™s started to warm up.

    I swear headlines these days.

    This is interesting and candid. One thing that I find interesting is that cost is important for the purchase price, but not operating cost. Depending on the fuel mileage of your icev itā€™s 75-80% less to operate a bev, which can help tremendously with payments. The closest thing to compete with...

    7-pin power to trailer LiB while driving

    It reads between 13.4-13.7 volts. The R1T does a much better job of charging the battery than my Jeep. The Jeep uses a fuel saving strategy that basically shuts of the alternator when it senses the battery is full charge. The problem Iā€™ve run into with the Jeep is when the Jeep battery is full...

    7-pin power to trailer LiB while driving

    I have a 100Ah lfp battery in my travel trailer and the truck recharges it fine. Itā€™s always back to 100% by the end of the day when driving. At night I always unplug the seven pin plug even if staying hooked up. Iā€™ve now tow the setup 3000 miles with no issues.

    I swear headlines these days.

    I just about canā€™t stand any news agency anymore! They contradict themselves every other day. Just needed to vent a little.

    R1T towing an inTech Sol Dawn

    Keep us posted, thatā€™s a really good looking setup. Iā€™ll be interested to see if the shape nets better efficiency than the box I tow. BTW we took our trailer from Portland, OR to Palm Springs, CA and back. Overall it was easy and we only had to unhook a few times to charge.

    Leather Friction Sound When Retracting Steering Wheel

    Cool. Itā€™s worked for me and many others in the past, but do it your way.

    Leather Friction Sound When Retracting Steering Wheel

    Try recalibrating the steering wheel in settings.

    20" tire recommendations

    20" Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Tires review -- For all of you thinking about a 20" tire! Your wait is over!

    Get ready to start disliking the Pirellis, thatā€™s about when they start getting loud. By 30k they like super swampers.

    BMW: EV’s are Dead, buy Hydrogen Fuel Cells Vehicles

    I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to pay for fuel. Sunshine is free, but I live in a make believe world according to some.

    Tire wear - how soon are people changing them?

    27k on the all terrains and Iā€™ve never rotated them. They probably still have 5-10k left for rubber, but because theyā€™re too loud for me Iā€™m getting rid of them soon.

    Winter towing PNW to SoCal any advice or suggestions

    Now for the winter efficiency compared to summer, really pretty good. Iā€™ve done this trip 2 other times in summer at the same speed and would get around 1.13-1.17 m/kWh. This actually ended up being a really good cold weather loop style test. This trip started at 19F and ended at 28F, we never...
