Functions as a sand boat for short distances in not too choppy dunes.

That cargo grid on the bars is interesting, anyone know who makes it?
The rack looks to be the Yakima LockNLoad. It’s the k size platform. I have the same one.

I think its great. I look forward to trying out a Tri Motor to see how they perform. Realistically I will likely only be doing mild off roading with our trucks but I think its really cool that Rivian is making these vehicles as capable as possible.

Are they implying the tri-motor performance in sand will be better than the gen1 quad motor's performance?
I don't think so...it will just require different tuning is what I took away from it.

I think y'all need to prepare yourselves for Rivian improving the new tri and quads over the old quad. There's a reason they pegged the tri at 5 less HP. They are trying to break the news to you gently.

I am not worried about new versions being more capable. In fact, if be worried if they weren't.

I would just think having one dedicated motor per wheel would be more advantageous in soft sand than having the front wheels share a motor

Impressive, however will the original projected delivery of the Tri-Motor beginning September-October still occur ?
