R1T Towing Height

[1civilengr]

I am taking delivery of my R1T Max Pack pickup later this month, and will be using it to tow my camper (2011 Airstream 23' FB) the following week.
I am currently towing with an SUV (Diesel VW Touareg), so I'll need to adjust the load distributing/sway control hitch for the height of the truck.
Since the Rivian has an adjustable ride height, I'm wondering what height setting is best for towing.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

I tow a Bambi 20fb with an Equalizer. R1T is set to Standard height and Equalizer is set to lowest ball connection. It seems to work well for me.

I always tow in Standard height with normally the suspension set on firm with my G1 quad. Double check your tire pressures on the truck as well, and if a big temperature change. Mine had gone up so much from the increase in temps lately I had to let air out.

Standard for sure - gives you some suspension travel without being up too high.

Just be sure to turn off automatic height adjustments when you go to hitch up. Once you have the power cable plugged into the truck, it will stay in the suspension height that you set it to initially.

With mine I have the following row selections

1) All Purpose
2) High Regen (set to normal if there are a lot of down hill on the route)
3) Firm Ride Feel
4) Normal/Standard ride height.

The ride height is probably ok in low…but ride is better in standard and like someone else said if you have more suspension travel it will be less bouncy. Also with a camping trailer there will be l negligible efficiency gain by lowing ride height.
