R1T LE Green, 20" AT, BM interior owner since March 25th from Spring Grove, IL (at WI border just past Fox Lake). Yet to find any offroad options nearby. Planning to do part of Georgia Traverse and full length of Blue Ridge Parkway in the Fall and then a trip to Colorado next Summer to go up Pike's Peak and do Engineer's Pass (I keep following other people's posts of Colorado excursions so sure to add more destinations).
Notched two camping trips so far pulling my 3600 lb camper averaging around 1.1 mi/kwh. I live 90 miles from the EA chargers at the Walmart in Madison and that has been the midpoint for charging on the way to campgrounds. Should be able to make it directly to Yellowstone Lake campground which is 108 miles away. Charging at campgrounds using 50A pedestals works great. Can almost top off back to 100% overnight. Charging using 30A pedestal with EV adapter and truck limited to 24A did not work out so great. Only gained about 20% overnight.
I bought cross bars and 2x highroad bike racks just for using while camping since I also have a hitch rack (but can't use while pulling the camper). We've ended up using the crossbar racks all the time and just leave them on the truck with the short gear guard cable looped through them to lock them down. I bought the longer gear guard cable for locking the actual bikes.
Purchased an after market tonneau cover from Interrobang which has worked quite well. I think we've only removed the panels twice and mainly just leave them in place all the time. Also installed running boards from EV Sportsline. I'm 6'2" and could get in and out of the truck but was sliding across the edge of the seat. With the running boards getting in is so much easier now. Don't have to use kneel mode for my wife anymore either.
Rarely see any Rivians out this way. Actually saw two nearby on the drive back from the factory when we picked it up. Saw another Launch Green R1T about 2 weeks before we picked ours up. A few weeks ago we drove down to Naperville and passed a white R1S and saw two Launch Green R1S on a truck.
