Rivian Owners Discover The Winch Option Is Now Available
Rivian Owners Discover The Winch Option Is Now Available
Can’t that be said about any product?Prediction: Many more people will buy the winch than will actually use it
Funny, My Guide said no winch...no bumper and not even sure they'll do the Camp Kitchen last week.On March 4th CS told me "Winch and Off-Road Bumper options are coming this year! These options will be available to Rivian owners, even after delivery." I wonder if they changed their plans, or more likely, that different CS have different info.
I emailed my Guide a week ago about the winch, but no reply yet.Funny, My Guide said no winch...no bumper and not even sure they'll do the Camp Kitchen last week.

Looking fwd to the answer, there is a lot of confusion in the air right now...I really wanted the winch package as an OE install.I emailed my Guide a week ago about the winch, but no reply yet.
Me too. He answered another query, but skipped this one. It seems like it's got to be OE install given what I know of the bumper design, but hey, I'm not an auto designer.Looking fwd to the answer, there is a lot of confusion in the air right now...I really wanted the winch package as an OE install.

Are they both full size/capacity like >700a? Most trucks need a 2nd battery to run a large winch and the rivian is not a featherweight. Also many cars/trucks with 2 batteries one is small 12 ah- 220a like the 2nd battery on my MB e class to run the brake booster in case of electrical failure.There are 2 12V batteries in the R1T should be fine for a winch.
This is a recent photo of one of the two matching 12v batts in the R1T.. looks like a deep cycle battery.Are they both full size/capacity like >700a?

Some quick Googling indicates a 10,000 lb winch can draw 400+ amps. That battery might not be enough.This is a recent photo of one of the two matching 12v batts in the R1T.. looks like a deep cycle battery.
