Lol! It looks absurd (in a good way)! You'd never think of a mid-sized truck pulling this size trailer!
Love it! Must be hell on range, tho'!

Does anyone know what kind of trailer this Rivian is towing?

It looks to be if I'm reading that name correctly, a Hemisphere, by Forest River. Hemisphere | Forest River RV - Manufacturer of Travel Trailers - Fifth Wheels - Tent Campers - Motorhomes

You think it’s that good?

 

[Livinginkaos]

Well, they state that pulling the max 11k #'s drops it to about 50%. I assumed that didn't include wind drag, so, maybe?

i wish rivian had the pro trailer backup assist like the ford f150s. that thing is a must have for rv noobs like me.

That may be optimistic given the likely drag of such a large trailer The OOS drag simulation test of the R1T towing a small utility trailer with a 4x8 sheet of plywood mounted vertically returned 0.77 kWh/mi.

I have this camera. I use it when in tight camp grounds, when I’m with the camper by myself, or when the weather is terrible. Does the job, I would buy it again.

Ford’s backup assist isn’t just a camera. It actually does the steering conversion based on how trailers “flip” the direction. A natural action for people who tow all the time, but a HUGE help for those who tow occasionally and have to really think about how to backup with a trailer.

I’ll save you some $$$$. Put your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Whichever way your hand goes is the direction that the back of the trailer will go.

I know how to backup a trailer.

If you don't see value in the feature, then don't use it.

Reversing the controls seems even more confusing to me.

Now those are some serious trailers.

My anxiety would be through the roof towing a trailer that size.

You really have to pick and chose where you go with larger ones. Many camp grounds up here in AK don’t allow campers >25’ tongue to bumper. My 22BHS is just under 26’ and I make it. I don’t have any issues anywhere I go but we don’t really have city driving anywhere up here. Going larger then what I have really limits the places you can go.

For me if I was going this large would do a 5th wheel. Every time I see someone with a huge bumper pull it looks awkward.

We got a few of these camera packs as samples from Furrion. Truth be told the only one that is really helpful is the rear view camera. It's pretty good and I'm glad I have it - both for backing up and just to see what's going on behind us as we're going down the road.

I have had Pro Trailer Assist on my F-150s (including a recent 2021 Powerboost). I can see how it would be helpful if you are not used to backing trailers. Personally, I don't use it as I'm used to doing it the normal way.

I would love to hear if anybody has found a good towing mirror that works for the Rivian. . .
