@Roidunord, lovely. I was on the Rivian Blue until I saw the Compass Yellow IRL. Did you see the posts I’ve made about overlanding events in New England?

There’s a New England group here on the Rivian forum. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/groups/new-england-rivian-group.28/

Hey, All! I just learned about this event. Please check it out. I can’t attend because I am already booked for a camping trip with my kid. https://www.heylo.com/event/-OjdGsh3slFBtkr--g2b

My set up is nothing special. I have OEM 19” ATs. I have steps from EV Sport Line that I bought second hand off eBay, which are obviously not proper rock runners. Last year, drought was everywhere. With no mud to be found, my friend, drove his R1S with the 20” OEM all seasons. I’ve seen leased...

No pictures?

During the first weekend of October, every year, there is an overloading event (sort of a training event) hosted in Vermont. For the past few years, I've been one of five or less Rivians. The trip usually starts with the standard battery of mockery and ends with deep respect for the truck. It...

I have five 20" wheels, OEM rims and all season tires. Four have 19K miles on them and one, my original spare time, has zero. The tires have been in a climate controlled storage facility for about two years now. I had planned to swap them back and forth with my ATs but the hassle was greater...

I start with the car's native planner. Then I augment based on things along the way that looks like it'd be fun to do. I don't consider it to be "overthinking" to seek out stations with fun in mind; it's the change of outlook that EV have given us that I think more people should embrace. But...

I am generally not impressed with the Halloween stuff; not as much as my kid is impressed. I did, however, order a truck that was supposed to have a canoe rack, a kitchen, a winch, and self-driving capabilities. I hear all of RJ's acknowledgments that some stuff needed to be left behind. I do...

I've driven crap cars and trucks throughout my life. I hardly notice anything wrong when I am in my R1T. I just go. I don't even have a driveway; my truck is parked a block away. Some times, even in winter, I'll start a 400 mile trip with 60% SOC because that's where the battery was when I last...

Here in New England, the RAN stations are usually located by an outdoor gear shop, a grocery store, or a pub. When it’s rainy or cold, it’s nice to plug in and dash inside, have a drink, buy groceries for a camping trip, or buy a new fishing rod. Personally, I find location to be the most...

This is true. But I always err on the side of caution.

OK, I’ve thought about this a lot myself. I’ve looked at a variety of generators and I think it’s doable with a decent size diesel or propane generator. The downside is going to be the noise. My thinking is that I would run the generator upon arrival at site and letting run for six hours at a go...

I’m having a similar problem. Disk and drive work on all my other devices. My truck refuses it.
