Wow! this is awesome! I wonder if those are any special tires? OR the stock set they are offering as options in the current ordering process.

Almost certainly stock. They are testing the truck, and therefore would want it configured like what a customer would buy.

Land Rover and Range Rover both do similar testing, all with models configured as regular versions. Even Toyota. It's sort of expected of off-road and adventure vehicle companies to do this level of testing.

@eHauler , i agree, but i am also familiar of the marketing practices most other auto-manufacturers adopt. They show the most fanciest options and stuff that you cannot normally figure within the advertised price ranges.

I don't know if I'd call that rough terrain, as it looks like a pretty easy section. My Wrangler Rubicon wouldn't even break a sweat through that.

That is very true. Which Rivian model and spec are you getting?
Did you go through that experience with any vehicle purchases of your own?

@eHauler , we are shooting for R1S, LE, pre-order is Nov 2020, so i am sure our actual delivery is going to way later in 2022. I had this experience on my BMW X1 purchase back in 2017. Found the vehicle really awesome based on the promos and there were so many features shown in. When i walked over to the dealership to check it out, i was super disappointed because much of the promo material was to be "available" and not "standard" in what was the highest price model they had available in the dealership.

Here are some more new off-road videos of an R1T.

I'm really curious how it felt in the R1T when they took that jump. For such a heavy truck that suspension is doing some heavy lifting.

I am kind of worried that most of the testing was done in the R1T. Like we just have to believe that the S will perform as well. True they are built in the same platform, but it would be nice to see both being tested.
