I feel this in my bones. Yeah, I think I’m going back to ICE for a few years. Maybe I’ll cash in the Scout reservation I have, maybe not. We’ll see. Right now I’m leabing towards the diesel Escalade. Luxury, good mileage, and less likely to strand me that their 6.2L and my current R1T.

After having so many service issues, I don't think I can stomach the risk of buying a Land Rover. I like the looks of the audi Q models, just need to drive one. Might even try to stretch into an RS Q8.

The RS6 and the Taycan Turismo do interest me.... Don't know if the wife would let me get a wagon. But I might anyway.

It’s in my top 3 consideration list!

I’m going back to an SUV. And very likely going back to ICE since there isn’t a close R1 equivalent in another brand. I don’t NEED anything but I’d like something on the more luxury end. thinking Porsche Cayenne, Escalade, X5/X7, GLE/GLS AMG, etc.

it’s on my list!

I agree re: skewed perspective. Unfortunately, my perspective includes two hydraulic failures, an airbag failure, replaced front axle, paint issues, 12v battery, a failed motor, and an additional suspension issue I don’t recall the exact details of. Easily $30-40k of covered repairs and $7k in...

My R1T is a ‘22. The fact that they’re buying it back surprised me but also tells me what the truck has put me through isn’t typical… but I can’t/wont get bitten twice

I came from a 2014 4-Runner. It’s crossed my mind to simply go back but there’s no way I’ll be happy with that 4.0 V6 that felt slow BEFORE I owned an R1T… I’m looking at a GX, but not loving what I’ve read so far from new owners since their update.

I’m also open to going back to ICE. Just not sure where to land since I’d planned on being in this truck for a very long time.

Hey! I’ve lurked here for many years, but my time with Rivian is coming to an a sad but optimistic end. After 11 different trips to the service center and over 4 months of SC stays, Rivian is buying back my R1T. I can’t trust it anymore. I still love the thing but I won’t be holding the bag...

I bailed on the project. Life happened since I posted this and, in the mean time, I’ve decided I’ll be trading into an R1S at some point and decided against tackling it. Good luck!

I just had a similar issue with 2/4 of my 20” ATs. I upgraded from 21” and within a week I was consistently losing pressure in my back two tires. long story short- my valves were not tightened well. I had a slow leak around both valve stems. Once I tightened them up- problem solved.

I will. It will be a slow process for me as I'm simply in the planning stages but if I try to tackle it myself versus hiring a shop I will video it all as best as I can for the good of my R1T people!

Yep! I've seen both of those. I'm trying to stick to one 10" sub in the factory spot and not sacrifice any under seat storage. I'll definitely be drawing some inspo off of these photos (mainly the gear used for small spaces)
