My wife and I recently took our R1S to MERUS Adventure Park in northern TX to overland and offroad. MERUS CEO, Dirk van Reenen, saw our rig and wanted to see how the Rivian compared to built-up ICE rigs on difficult terrain. He and I took the R1S through tough off-camber sections and steep, loose climbs. The Rivian did fantastically well. I had a heck of a good time.
It's one thing to believe your vehicle can do something. It's another to prove it to yourself. It's yet another to impress a pro. Dirk might buy a Rivian now.
I'm working on a photo essay with a lot more photos of what it's like to push your own limits in the great outdoors in a Rivian. Overlanding was a transformative experience for us. I'll share it here.
