First tow with new R1S

[RumAmuk]

Finally got the chance to tow the boat with the R1S. Boat was delayed coming out of winter storage but finally was delivered this past weekend. I had it quickly detailed and dragged it back to the house for finally prep before launching next weekend. I was impressed with how easily the R1S towed the boat especially compared to the previous tow vehicle a BMW X5 35i. We are perched on a hill side overlooking the water and the climb up the hill was nothing for the Rivian. I have been anxious to try this tow since I waited for the R1S specifically because it’s the only SUV that is currently capable of towing this load. Super happy with the results. The only thing I miss from the X5 is the special tow hitch camera mode that helped align the tow hitch. Hoping that’s an upgrade at some point.

I just towed my boat earlier this week - like butter!

Kudos on that stealth wrap ElCap, looks great!

There are a lot of SUVs that can tow as much or more than the R1S. It is a good tow vehicle within range limitations though.
