Not to mention….. sliding doors. Nice to park in tight spots without worrying about my kids opening a door and slamming into someone else. A minivan with 900ft/lb if torque could change the whole market for what people want in the family-mobile! I hated our Sienna for a few years, but the...
Minivans are like pink shirts. Only real men can get away with being seen in them. I've had 3 different trucks and 3 different SUVs while my wife has kept her minivan for 13 years now. Guess which car we take everywhere (well, before the R1T). :).
Looks like the 22 defenders are now available on discount tire, $500 a pop, but $110 discount promo for a set of 4. This Puts them in line with the perelli's price-wise with the much better warranty and tread life on the michelins. Pretty sure I'll be ponying up for a set of these once the...
That's the other application I can see that makes sense...you're at an overnight event, limited parking, tight space for a separate tent setup, back of the bed is really the only option.
I can see that. For those with mobility issues I can certainly see a benefit. Though with mobility issues are there not similar challenges getting in and out of the bed of the truck? I guess hauling a step around could solve that. I think in terms of roof top tents as well, which would...
I suppose if wet weather, snowy climates, or unfriendly terrain are your normal adventures, I can see some benefit in that. Otherwise, I can pick a flat spot and deploy a gazelle T4 pretty fast. Do the truck bed tents seem constraining? A high quality 4 man tent will feel palatial for 2...
Coming with an honest question here....what's the benefit of a truck bed tent over a ground tent? In my mind, you can buy a crazy awesome ground tent with much more versatility at a better price with more room, portability, features, etc. What's the key factor I'm missing here? I've spend...
i secured a shop configuration on 8/23 with Vin assignment immediately (10,1xx) 8 steps done except final payment. I’m 158 miles from the Normal service center. Update from my guide on 8/31 was to anticipate contact for delivery scheduling in 2-3 weeks. I was definitely expecting a...
Confirmed an R1T out of the shop on 8/24. (ECG/FE/B22s) VIN 10,1XX. 8 steps opened within seconds. 8 steps completed in 48 hours except final down payment. Vehicle is in Normal, which is my nearest service center 187 miles away. I've had one conversation with my guide in which I said I...
this is what I have from St. louis but not sure if same region. Same 2 trucks been on there a while.....surprised the FG/FE still there. been hanging out for at least a week.
Similar timeline for me over the last few days. Just received the "prepare for digital purchasing process" email tonight. Hoping to see the 8 steps tomorrow same as you...... trying not to get hopes up.
I received email invite to the shop on 8/12, and had intro guide call yesterday (8/17). Config was confirmed on that call, but I was also told I would have continued access to the shop until I was matched with my confirmed config, or if I snagged something from the shop. Win-Win...
For me: ordered 12/3/21 El Cap/ BM/ 21s. (St. Louis)
8/12/22. R1T shop invite
8/17/22. Guide intro call. Guide confirmed config over the phone and Rivian account was updated by that evening with no option for further configuration changes except through...
