Hey Rivian Towing Aficionados! I'm a woodworker designing and building a 16' long Travel Trailer to tow behind my 2025 R1T (2nd gen with max battery pack).
I would appreciate any advice on: Trailer spec recommendations? Distance expectations? On-the-road driving tips for distance optimization...
Got our 1972 Kit Companion Ready just in time for some beautiful fall camping!
Making the trip from Fort Collins to Salida, CO next weekend. I’ll update with efficiencies and the trip experience when we get back!
Just wrapped up a 1,500 mile roadtrip towing a 23’ travel trailer. 9 nights and 4 locations. 10 DCFC stops with no hiccups and never needing to unhook the trailer in order to charge. Also, 3 days before the trip my official NACS adapter arrived. I have the A2Z but a bitter more piece of mind for...
Hey everyone,
I'm going to make a little towing journal here to document our current efficiency with different configurations so that we can compare in the future. The goal long term is to modify our 26' Featherlite trailer to be more aerodynamic. CFD suggests a significant reduction in drag...
I’ve been eyeing a Rivian camper for almost a year now and finally pulled the trigger this week. I picked up the last of their Gen 1 X3’s as the new Gen 2’s are coming in and are almost $20K more expensive. For those that don’t know what a Patriot Camper is - it’s an incredibly compact...
I live in the Detroit area and have been doing an event called Rocky Mountain Race Week for the past couple years which starts in Nebraska. In years past, I drove my C5 Corvette from home to the event, but this year with a newer C6 Corvette and different drag racing tire situation, I wanted to...
I was struggling to find 7 pin to 4 pin adapter for the R1S. I have a bike rack lighting system that was the 4 pin style so I needed something like this. I found this one on Amazon for like $12. I wanted the flex cord since it will solve for the fact that my bike rack wiring probably wouldn’t...
Pretty awesome concept! Can't wait to see these in person.....

Has anyone investigated trailering the R1T? Those of us that want to tow the truck behind our RV will require a trailer like the Aluma EX 8200 series tilt trailer. Bed length 219in (18'3") or 244in (20'4") ft? Has anyone tried the R1T on a tilt trailer? Does it balance easily? Is the 18ft...
Calling all campers / RV enthusiasts out there:
I recently decided to cancel the purchase of a 4x4 Sprinter van because I figure I'll be better off getting an R1T and adding some kind of optional camping solution. (Hard to park Sprinters in the grocery store parking lot...)
