A lot of builds lean heavily toward capability. But daily ownership often leans toward convenience. We’ve seen people shift priorities over time. Less about extremes. More about balance. Where do you fall? — Team Electruck

Some gear feels excessive at first. Until the moment it isn’t. We’ve heard this from owners about things like: • Proper lifting tools Used rarely, but critical when needed. • Recovery or repair gear You don’t think about it until you’re stuck. • Protective add-ons Seem optional, until...

There are always a few things that don’t seem important at first. Then you live with the truck for a while and suddenly they matter more We’ve heard: Entry height Storage layout Visibility Ride comfort It’s interesting how priorities shift. What changed for you? — Team Electruck

Most people start thinking about wheels for aesthetics. But there are usually other factors that push the conversation forward: Wanting a more aggressive stance Looking for different sizing options Weight considerations Aerodynamic improvements with newer designs It’s interesting how wheels...

Every vehicle has a learning curve. With Rivian, we’ve noticed a few things that tend to take owners a little time: Regenerative braking behavior in stop and go traffic Ride height changes and how they affect entry and handling The quietness at highway speeds Instant torque when maneuvering in...

One thing we’ve noticed after talking with owners for a few years now is that many trucks end up doing things their owners didn’t originally plan for. We’ve heard stories like: Rock crawling that started as a dirt road detour Unexpected towing duties after selling an ICE truck Long road trips...

We all know that feeling of the first week, constant 0-60 runs, doing our best low-rider impression with the air suspension, and showing off the frunk and Gear Tunnel to strangers in parking lots. But I'm curious about the long haul. Now that the new-truck smell has faded into "adventure"...

When we got our first Rivian, there were all kinds of features we expected to use every day. But over time, some things end up being used far less than expected. Apparently, the same is true from our customers. We’ve heard things like: Certain drive modes (Or adjustable air suspension all...

When Rivian first launched, there weren’t many direct comparisons. Now there are more options than ever. Other EVs GM EV trucks (Silverado, GMC Sierra, HummerEV) Tesla Cybertruck Soon to be released EVs Slate Scout Terra and Traveler Tacoma EV Previous options (We hardly knew ye) Ford...

Sorry. Yes, "lift tooling", vs removing the plastics or using the factory plastic jack adapter. And yes, protection from the kind of wear you see day to day. That could be PPF, a door sill plate, etc.

We get this message a lot: “I should’ve grabbed this earlier.” It’s rarely a flashy mod. It’s usually: • Lift protection • Tire repair tools • A more stable jack • Better daily-use protection The stuff that quietly removes friction from ownership. From what we’ve seen, the best purchases...

After a rotation, tire pressure balance becomes critical. What we often see: • One tire 3-4 PSI off from the others • Shops setting pressures inconsistently • Owners not realizing how uneven pressure accelerates wear On a heavy EV, uneven pressure compounds faster. It’s one of those details...

We’ll say something mildly controversial. The factory jack technically works. But “technically” isn’t the same as “confidence-inspiring.” With a vehicle this heavy, stability under load matters more than most people realize. We’ve had customers say: “It worked fine… but I didn’t love how it...

We don’t talk about this enough. If you get a flat tire on a Rivian in a remote area, what’s the actual plan? Because here’s what we see: • Not everyone carries a real repair kit • Many owners haven’t practiced using a plug kit • Inflation tools vary wildly in quality • Confidence drops...

There’s a lot of talk about range and performance. From what we see, the first “pain points” aren’t mechanical. They’re practical. • Small cosmetic wear that adds up • Lifting equipment confidence • Tire pressure inconsistencies after rotations • Minor annoyances that turn into daily friction...

Shorter days and colder temps change how trips feel. Do you still get out in your EV as much in winter? Do you stick to your usual level of adventure or shift your driving and travel style? — Team Electruck

We’ll get you taken care of. Send me a DM.

Hey everyone, Presidents Day is here, and we’re in the final stretch of our short holiday event. Everything wraps up tonight at midnight (Feb 16), so we wanted to share one last reminder here. Website: https://electruck4x4.com/ No crazy gimmicks, just solid savings on gear a lot of you are...

Cold-weather comfort doesn’t have to mean blasting heat constantly, especially when driving alone. What strategies have you found that balance comfort and efficiency for you and your passengers? — Team Electruck

From what we’ve seen, winter frustrations usually come from smaller systems rather than the main battery. 12V reliability, headlight visibility, frozen door handles. What’s been the biggest challenge for you? — Team Electruck
