Hi all

We will have a R1S review truck for the next 7 days here in Colorado. As some of you know, we also have a R1T and will be filming all of the comparisons. Expect similar coverage to when we first reviewed the R1T earlier this year but wanted to answer all of your questions in a single video! If there's anything you've been wanting to see comment it here and we'll make sure to cover it.

Thanks!
Kyle

Sounds like a visit to the wind tunnel is in order?

Along with this can we get a towing comparison, would like to see how each vehicle handles with a 7000lb load since is close to max for R1s

Hi Kyle,
A live stream of range and general impressions with Alyssa riding with you. Then the edited one after. Also a hodge back challenge video and general impressions video and charging video would be great!

R1T Vs. R1S drag race. (Hopefully with the same tires)

Sleeping situation, how comfortable is it?

Day to day life. Parking, traffic, going to Costco and loading it up, around town, etc.

How about a cargo load Challange? Like if you pack the RT1 full of stuff then see if the same stuff will fit in the R1S.

Since you have both the R1T and R1S Available there are a few things I would like to see Side by side review of approach, break over, and Departure angles. stability feeling when off camber on trail. Towing of same weight load, with shorter wheel base how different does the towing feel. of course 0-60 comparison between the two and the handling and stability of the launch. expecting the same however the wheel base may give it a different feel. Does there feel to be a power and handling difference between the two.

@OutofSpecKyle, I second that. If the R1T and R1S have the same drivetrain and power, I'm not sure why the R1S has so much less towing than the R1T. Is this just due to wheelbase geometry? I would love to see the 11,000 lbs on an R1S ;)

@OutofSpecKyle, I enjoyed your video where you drove R1T on snowy roads and measured handling. If you can do the same with R1S, that'd be nice.

+ off-roading in R1S, super nice.

Thanks!
