I measured the R2 rear cargo area on 6/12/2026 (VIN 462) with the rear seats up because I wanted to know if the WeatherTech in my Jeep will fit the R2, as currently there are no cargo area protective mats. The width (side to side) is 41". The depth (front to rear) is 36" (lift gate up). I did...

I test drove the R2 yesterday. I found that even the LOW setting for Regenerative Braking was too "grabby". My Tesla with LOW (normal driving) and HIGH (commuting) is better tuned to my preferences.

I will take a Catalina Cove with the All Terrain wheels and tires!

I usually do not buy extended warranties because they are typically not a good value for consumers. However, I did buy the lifetime bumper-to-bumper extended warranty for my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Note I have not had issues with Jeep reliability covering 30+ years of ownership. So that common...

Catalina Cove was listed on the site briefly, and has since been removed.

The STLA (Stellantis Large) platform supports both ICE and EVs. That means wasted space for transmission and transaxle assemblies in an EV platform! The R2 has higher default ground clearance, a lower roof, and more storage than my Jeep because the latter has a transmission tunnel and multiple...

I have been following the Jeep Wagoneer S and the Recon since they were announced quite a while ago. And saw the Overland trim of a Recon at an auto show in January 2026. But the vehicle still does not exist, and the dealerships are still clueless as to its existence and availability. The Recon...

I don't have an R1. The Thule roof box attachment has limitations and R1 is just over the width limit. I am hoping R2 comes in a little smaller and is within spec for this rooftop accessory. The static weights for R1 and R2 crossbars are comparable at 600 pounds. But the dynamic load for R1 is...

What is the width (front-back) of the R2 cargo crossbars? It should be ~3.5 inches, but I have yet to find the exact specification. What is the thickness (top-bottom) of the R2 cargo crossbars? It should be ~1.25 inches, but I have yet to find the exact specification. I have heard that these...

Saw a Launch Green a few days later! The herd is growing!!

I sent WeatherTech an email about a rear cargo area protection mat, like I have in my Jeep. They responding saying they don't have an R2 to measure yet. Since Rivian doesn't produce all-weather mats for this part of the vehicle, it seems they should be providing WeatherTech the dimensions...

I have always been able to purchase wheel locks from the vehicle manufacturer. But I don't see locks in the Gear Shop, not even for R1. Any recommendations for third-party wheel locks for the R2? Thanks in advance.

Thank you! Again, since I already knew this charger stuff I did not bother reading the details ... my bad.

Please provide that link! I haven't paid much attention to charging as I have been an EV owner for 9 years. But I am not finding it on the Rivian website.

Someone on this forum is saying the the charger is free for certain states, such as California!
