running boards #1 benefit is protecting against door dings - someone opens their door hard it bangs against the RB and the only damage is to that $%^&*'s car or truck....fun times. when the truck kneels you dont really need any kind of step, maybe if you run and leave in highest mode and...

I take 2 or 3 yearly trips from Surrey BC to Nelson BC about 650KM roll. I have to find a stop to charge once and put that together with lunch, so say 40 minutes to one hour. Cost about $20 If i drive with a heavy foot (always) i may add an 2nd stop and do some grocery shopping while charging...

The only time i have found the R1T quad that i have feel sloppy when driving is if i had accidentally left it in ECO mode. when going into UG parking i switch to eco so the truck drops to lowest height and you get less wheel squeaking when turning corners down the ramp. leaving the parking still...

agree on that, and add hwy 99 north of horseshoe bay (west vancouver). when you leave the vancouver lower mainland you are into canadian winter conditions. this is the hwy to whistler and beyond which is a winter tire required hwy just like 1,3,5 east of hope the lower mainland (squamish to...

The fun part of Vancouver - and region - snow mageddon... people ignore snow warnings and get on the road in the AM and cause the commuting horror. If you are smart, get to your destination when the first flakes hit. I close my office and send people home on these days. Even if you are the most...

unless you plan to do some side trips out of the vancouver lower mainland, you will not be too likely to see snow. if you plan to go to north of vancouver or east of hope then you will need them. it if does by chance snow, the roads will be a complete gong show. ill equipped vehicles driven by...

The greater Vancouver area is a tough place to live. You have to choose between golf, skiing or fishing in the late fall and winter months. However, If you drive two hours East or North from the lower mainland you do get a whole different winter experience....

Gotcha Todd. Although in Canada, the lower mainland around Vancouver isn't representative of the rest of Canada. So cold weather range loss is a non issue here, or for people that only commute the more regular under 20 Mile range on a daily basis. It the cold weather hacks help that is great, i...

i guess this affects people that dont have access to home and work chargers. i just plug in and drive. is this really an issue overall. are daily drives such that people cannot deal with reduced range

they are redeploying the batteries for drones

my brother in law who owns a Dodge 3500 says my R1T is his favorite vehicle, my business partner calls my truck a sewing machine, while he pounds 600$ per week of gas into his slowpoke Dodge T-Rex but wont try racing me, for good reason.....bye bye ICE

what, a city is not considered a rain forest? surprise! I agree that the city is not a temperate rain forest, you have to get off the freeway to get into the trees, funny how that works.

Had the same washer issue, and they replaced the tank / fittings. figure that it was installed on a friday or the monday after superbowl.... no issues since. definitely arrange for a service visit filled mine twice in a month, and had only used sparingly. definitely a leak for service to sort out;

LOL. The comments i saw about the range for Rivian EVs in Canada, with it being colder here are not familiar with the Vancouver area and our seasonal temperatures. Vancouver, with regard to climate is about the same as Seattle which is just a couple hours south. The lower mainland, say from...

sure, that and outdoor temperature both
