  1. Rivian R1S Discussions
    I'll be configuring an R1S in a few months and need to decide between the dual motor and performance DM. Is the extra horsepower worth $5000? The R1S will replace our 2018 Toyota Tacoma (159 hp) that is used for camping, hauling a utility trailer with brush, and occasionally collecting firewood...
  2. Towing and Trailers
    TL;DR - R1S towed 7,880lbs well and got 1.08mi/kWh - I think an R1T would do much better I've had my R1S for about 1 month. I plan to use it as my daily driver/lifestyle car (trips to the cabin, canoeing, skiing, roadtrips, etc). The part of my life I didn't think it could replace was towing...

    Thought I'd document my experience towing my rig across three states in freezing temps. I towed my Heavily modified 2017 Jeep Wrangler to the Winter 4x4 Jamboree in Hurricane, UT. All in all, it was about 869 miles round trip with a ton of elevation change and sub-32-degree weather. I took off...

    Electric pickup trucks are here to stay, but that doesn’t mean they are perfect at doing their ICE brothers’ jobs.

    OK, I'm not known for my patience.... But, it's been over three years since I put my deposit down and ordered an R1T with the max battery pack. One of my buds gave in and took delivery of an R1T with the "large" battery pack several months ago. While I don't intend to drive 400 miles with my...

    Don’t listen to anyone telling you the R1T is not a real work truck. It performs way better than my RAM 1500 when it comes to heavy duty towing.
  7. Towing and Trailers
    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for tow hitches for the truck. We’re planning to buy or rent a trailer to haul some dirt and gravel every now and then. Nothing special. I know it’s probably a loaded question with many different answers possible, but just wanted to get some...
  8. Rivian General Discussion Forum
    Curious if anyone has thoughts on what trailer hitch might work best for the R1T I have used just a simple Curt 2" without any offset for towing 17 foot boat with my Honda Ridgeline. I have the all terrain tires on the 20" tires and know that suspension height will also play a role. Thoughts?

    In the Tesla Model Y, towing capability is tied to tire/wheel choice: " Equip your Model Y with a high-strength steel tow bar and 2” hitch receiver capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds on 19” and 21” wheels or up to 2,300 pounds on 20” wheels. Tow Mode actively monitors trailer sway and adjusts...
