  1. Oregon Rivian R1T XTR1 Bed Rack System (Stage 3B) – Like New – $2,500

    Does it block the rear cab spoiler camera? It looks like it won't work as an extension of the factory roof racks or do extra racks mount on the bed rack?
  2. Gut check - Tire Strategy

    I would recommend 20" tires for any off-road use. You need the larger sidewall, especially if you end up having to lower tire pressure.
  3. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    Yes, but you would think that Rivian engineers would take that into account when designing the size of the braking system. My old Dodge diesel pickup had bigger brakes than a small Dodge sedan. Supposedly one of he benefits of an electric vehicle is less maintenance, like brakes through using...
  4. Flat Tire on a 7,000+ lb EV: What’s Your Plan and Tools?

    The only thing that I added to the kit and spare that came with the truck is a 24" long breaker bar and deep socket. I had a flat on my last extended camping trip and the only down side was I had to unload the entire bed full of camping gear to get the spare and jack. Had to repeat the entire...
  5. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    My biggest disappointment is that after only 85,000 miles I had to have the half shafts and brakes replaced. Brakes include the rotors as they don't turn rotors. This is a crazy high expense for a truck with such low miles. I use regen all of the time and rarely use cruise control since it...
  6. Tire question: What could have caused this?

    I agree with Swampnut, It's a defective tire. It should be covered under warranty.
  7. Near Miss With a Deer

    Whenever I see a deer in the road in front of me I hit the breaks and get on the horn. That gets them moving.
  8. Door Handle Safety

    Like I said, mechanical door latches.
  9. Door Handle Safety

    It is hard for me to understand why we can't just have old style mechanical door openers. The electric ones seem to just be an unnecessary gimmick.
  10. 3rd party wall chargers ok or not?

    I like the Tesla charger since my wife drives a Tesla. It works great with my Rivian and gives me more charge than the old NEMA 15-50. Cost was less than the Rivian charger. I use a Tesla tap mini with it.
  11. Trail damage prevention: what’s worked best on your Rivian?

    Is there any way to protect the half shafts and rubber universal joint covers?
  12. Looking to travel from Central Valley California up thru Canada

    With the 21" tires you can use chains. Can't with the 20s
  13. What is your favourite replacement brake pads?

    Mine are worn out at 80k. For a truck with such good regen I would expect a lot more. My wife's 2015 Tesla is at 180K and still on original brakes. Even my Dodge Ram Diesel went longer than that. And Rivian won't turn the rotors, said they don't have the tools so they want me to buy new ones...
  14. Need help fixing range while towing (it’s 30% 😵)

    I agree with looking at a more aerodynamic trailer. Bowlus (wildly expensive but really cool) or Airstream (Expensive)
  15. Need help fixing range while towing (it’s 30% 😵)

    The nav range on my 2022 R1t has always been more accurate than the drivers display, even when not towing. I don't know why. I always count on the nav range. It gets more accurate the closer you get to your destination.
  16. California Electrified Overland Gear Tunnel Slide

    How much vertical space does the slide take up? Is this a Rivian slide or another company? What do you mean by electrified?
