Hi folks,

I’m wondering if anyone else with a hitch mounted spare wheel carrier ( Rig’d Ultraswing multi fit for me) has experienced a vibration or judder when stopped with hold engaged.
I just mounted the carrier this week and have been driving around to make sure everything is ok. I noticed the judder, and contacted Rivian. They had me do a vehicle restart and it seemed to work for a while but the judder is back. I have selected accessory in the towing menu.
Is there maybe something else I need to do?
I moved my rear license plate onto the carrier and plugged in the light for the plate into the towing outlet, not sure if that might be having some kind of affect.

thanks for any suggestions

James

Are you sure it's not the air compressor for the suspension making the noise? Probably trying to level it with the added weight hanging out the back.

It’s the tire shaking. Nothing is wrong with your truck. You’ll feel it hit a harmonic around 67-71 MPH sometimes too.

I have the same carrier, often with a much heavier tire mounted. Highly recommend buying the camera relocation kit, makes such a huge difference.
