    Best (and quickest) Weight Distribution Hitch plus a towing question

    I use the Reese Straight Line WD hitch with my Airstream 23cb, I find the chain type much easier to hook up than the bracket hook setups (especially with any angle). I used this same hitch with my previous Land Cruiser which is about the same wheelbase as your R1S ā€¦ youā€™re going to want 1k lb...

    R1T - bed extender that slides -- options?

    I donā€™t see much value out of the bed glider for my use, have had ARB drawers in several Land Cruisers and found them really useful. You can store a ton of gear securely and still have ā€œopen spaceā€ for daily cargo. Tire compartment is a pretty big loss here though -

    Custom Made Rivian R1T Truck Cap Topper (Autofitpro) Group Buy - Interested?

    Iā€™m an order holder, would love to see more here since it would allow the tonneau cover to remain functional ?

    Upgrade Gen1 cameras to Gen2?

    Multiple Chinese EVs (XPeng P5/G9, Nio ET7, Avatr 07) and in the States the latest Waymo Robotaxi (6th gen Zeekr) are all using today. I get you guys point however, the cameras and software are just too integrated to make upgrading these feasible. Thx for the insight -

    Upgrade Gen1 cameras to Gen2?

    I love the internet, everyone is free to be a complete ass towards everyone else. Yes I know what LiDAR is (Light Detection and Ranging), and I also know many modern ADAS are using integrated LiDAR+RGB cameras. This was complete speculation, but not a comment of stupidity. Good luck with your...

    Upgrade Gen1 cameras to Gen2?

    At least we are talking tech now, I can respect that and see what you mean here. You could likely go to a higher resolution camera, but not the Gen2 factory camera. Iā€™m guessing it does more for the self-driving features to warrant two harnesses (lidar?). I just hate the ā€œwe canā€™t do anything...

    Upgrade Gen1 cameras to Gen2?

    This is likely for the image composition, would be interesting to see what the straight feeds look like just hooking up a higher resolution camera. Not saying this is a plug and play mod, but it would be interesting to tinker and see.

    Upgrade Gen1 cameras to Gen2?

    This thread has some of the worst comments Iā€™ve ever read, of course you could replace the cameras if you wanted to bad enough. No matter what they did with the harness, it still has wiring going to each camera. Itā€™s unlikely the harness plugs changed being bin parts doing the same thing, but...

    2025 R1S Battery Drain

    Change your cluster to the view posted above with the efficiency graph, it will show real time for you to track. Are you able to pre-condition with your truck plugged in (scheduled departure feature)? Sometimes that helps get better range in the cold,

    EVs don't consider jacking safety

    Put jack under lower control arm with rubber puck to protect aluminum, use jack puck in factory jacking point to place jack stand.

    What % of Rivian Parts Come From Mexico or Canada? [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    Battery materials from China, circuit boards from Taiwan, glass from Canada, wiring harnesses & rubber from Mexico. Donā€™t know what the current mix is, but those are pretty ubiquitous across the industry for us manufactured vehicles.

    Gear Shop - $125 for a Sun Shade!?

    I have the sunshade, it works but itā€™s bulky and there is absolutely nowhere to put it. It goes to the back floorboard, then gear tunnel when the kids get in and I usually forget about it for a while. It works better in the Texas sun than others I tried. I also have the first gen TWraps...

    R2 Dimensions + More Information -- Motortrend: Learning All About the R3 and R3X With Rivian’s Design Chief

    Was hoping for a bit smaller vehicle for the wife, she parks in a garage for work so smaller and shorter wheelbase would be nice. Thatā€™s the backup plan if itā€™s too small ā€¦

    R2 Dimensions + More Information -- Motortrend: Learning All About the R3 and R3X With Rivian’s Design Chief

    Definitely will, rode in the backseat of a buddies 5th gen over the weekend and my head was brushing the headliner. Granted Iā€™m 6ā€™1ā€ and it had a sunroof that would take more room than the glass roof in this ā€¦ it was pretty tight.

    Help a prospective buyer pull the trigger (or not)

    Iā€™m just going to say that since I got my G1 R1T, I just donā€™t want to drive anything else. And this is coming from someone with multiple very cool options in the garage, itā€™s just that great to own & drive. The Rivian & Tesla are head & shoulders over other options on software, and thatā€™s...

    R2 Dimensions + More Information -- Motortrend: Learning All About the R3 and R3X With Rivian’s Design Chief

    3rd gen was a good size, hoping it feels similar. Mach E and Model Y arenā€™t comparable to me, the hatch kills cargo space and they canā€™t handle more than a gravel road. Iā€™m just not a fan of tall cars ?

    R2 Dimensions + More Information -- Motortrend: Learning All About the R3 and R3X With Rivian’s Design Chief

    Was hoping more 4Runner sized, not sure if it will be big enough for family of 4 camping with dog/gear/food. Weā€™ll see once we can actually test drive one (have reservation).

    Another Shady Service Center Visit

    Something seems off, I had my 22.5k comprehensive service done in Austin on 12/24. It was $300 with a 5 tire rotation and Iā€™ve attached the screen shot from my invoice. My local advisor from the Austin Service center sent me the invoice of work to be performed 3 days before my appointment, I...
