What is a thread you would see on forums for other vehicles, but never here?

So our vehicles are somewhat unique (obviously). What are some things owners of other trucks, SUVs, or other cars complain about that we will never need to complain about?

I'll start: you'll never see a thread called "what is the best aftermarket tool to turn off autostop?"

Rough downshifts, and stuttering transmission on the highway. (Guess what truck I owned last…)

Though, to the last trucks benefit, it didn't sound like the front suspension was about to fall apart.

You want to blow up a thread in a car forum.. ask which oil is best for your vehicle.

“Do we really need premium for our trucks?”

As a former GX owner, this was a fairly common question. Especially since the same engine in Toyota models like the Tundra didn’t require premium.

A body lift should be possible on the Rivian, but it will be a LOT of hardware (hundreds of pieces), and I'm doubtful there is enough length on the harnesses that span from the body to the frame.

It would be hilarious to see. Especially since it would be kind of pointless, it would only be for the look. Well, I guess maybe you could squeeze in slightly larger tires? But it wouldn't really give any ground clearance otherwise.

Is it, though? Rivian seems to have used a hybrid of ladder frame and monocoque…. Adding large spacers between the two may affect rigidity.

I feel like one of the manufacturing videos mentioned that the body was attached to the frame via adhesive as well to increase rigidity. Pretty sure that would make it even more difficult to separate.
