Moving R1T a tiny amount to hook up trailer

[rhumbliner]

I almost wish I could just monitor the brake pedal to ease back to the hitch like old school.

Yeah, if Rivian allowed creep mode then hooking up a trailer would be a cinch.

Powerbrake it, which can be useful with ICE too. The rock and snow modes also soften the accelerator action a lot.

So even if this is the dumbest question posted here, I have it too so thanks for taking the heat. I have what’s called an essential tremor in my hands and feet. I shake like a chihuahua which makes that last 2 inches of backing my R1T tricky and stressful To connect our jetski trailer or dump trailer. I almost wish I could just monitor the brake pedal to ease back to the hitch like old schoo.

In your case, a "Trailer Valet" or similar may be helpful. Just get the truck close, then use a hand-crank device to put the trailer exactly where you want. I use one for moving my trailer around my driveway/ into my garage (since the tolerances are so close fitting in the garage, I don't trust my back-the-truck-up skills.)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I’ll try the different drive modes and also turn regen down to low - I feel like I want to move slowly enough that the brakes keep engaging automatically.
