Does anyone have experience with trading in their previous rivian ? Is there an expectation for accessories to be included when trading in?

examples:
camp speaker
Torch light
Spare tire
Charging cables
NACS adapter

just curious

Keep whatever has value to you (I've traded in 3 of them). What you include won't change the price. I even kept the spare on the first one. I told them and they said no problem.
great thank you!

They were super chill about stuff like that when I traded my gen 1 for a gen 2.

Instead of trading in for lower price, why not sell to a member here for slightly more profit while helping the community with better pricing and the comfort of knowing the history of the car? I am a recovering Tesla fan, and my first three (MS, MS and MX) were purchased from their forum community, and they were the best experience I ever had buying cars. I even enjoyed flying across the country to pick up the cars and meet the seller/members.

Personal opinion, but keeping the spare would be pretty dick towards the future buyer, especially if it was listed on the factory-included option/order list. Really, removing all of those items would be a dick move since almost all of them were standard equipment on early trucks.

well,
This is the reason I wanted to post here. For example, I had to use my spare tire as one of mine original tires blew and the wheel was damaged. So I never replaced the spare. And I was questioning whether pricing for my trade in could be affected.
