Super impressive climb for a stock set up with standard 20's. Most of the trucks I see crawling up that thing are designated overland or rock crawling machines with modifications. I would imagine with just a touch less air in the rear tires, there would be even better grip for those AT's, but there is a fine line between too little air and keeping the tire on the wheel - esp without beadlocks!

Yeah it went way more smoothly than I would've expected. It really shows off how well the quad motor system works. I hope there's more videos of it tackling Moab.

Coming from seeing some GX 460s and 470's tackle that. I'd say its pretty impressive. I think the weakest point is the wheel/tire setup on that... Most the guys I see do it in the GX group im a part of have 17s or maybe 18's. Articulation of the rear of the R1T is not that great. But its really cool to see the quad-motor basically walk the vehicle into the correct position. No one should say this is a game changer, but it's great to see an R1T tackle something that a lot of Overlander's with experience do... Would I do it? No, not for something this expensive.

Agreed, and I think this was more of a test to see what it could do as a stock EV truck in extreme situations, like Moab. When you put it into perspective, is there any truck that can climb Hells Gate then hit the pavement and drop a 3 second zero to 60 stretch, then jump onto a trail and drift corners like a well-tuned rally car? That is what impresses me the most. Just knowing that it is capable and extremely adaptable is great. I'm not buying this thing to be a rock crawler either, but will spend a fair amount of time on dirt, mud, frost-heaved and rutted back roads.

Watching it adjust like that was really cool. It looked almost effortless at certain parts.

This part however, I'm not going to lie had me nervous.
