I bought the R1T at full price after a test drive of the R1S which we have a early preorder on. Give it a couple of years and this current pricing will look like a steal. I figure the R1T won't get any cheaper anyway.
It's pretty obvious ineos wasn't able to deliver on what they originally promised and are screwing over US and Canadian buyers. Why spend $90K on one when you can get a fully loaded diesel truck or a Rivian in the US for that price? Reviewers like harry are spot on. I truly hope you enjoy yours...
Yes. They're all overpriced status symbols. The grenadier is not a good value. Already seeing gremlins with their electronics, no track record of reliability, and you can't even tell me what your out the door price will be because you are at the mercy of your dealer (who they aren't revealing...
Same experience with my duramax and airstream. Very convenient. Especially when stopping for fuel and getting into the back (camper top on) to grab drinks or snacks out of the cooler.
The R1t isn't alone though, my brother in law just got an f350 and was pissed to see that he couldn't open the...
Nice boat!
I wish we had more control when backing up to hitch. Much easier on a truck to let the motor slowly back you up in gear while modulating the brake pedal for fine movement.
Much more difficult to use the accelerator pedal in the R1T. You can kind of do it if you put it in neutral...
For real. My other truck is a duramax and it's not nearly as supportive as the R1T (although I do love the option to heat just my lower back only instead of ass and back at the same time).
I can't help but think that aerodynamics may be better if they mount all their stuff on the inside rails facing the bed as opposed to the exterior rail.
I had one that looked like that reserved. Cancelled when they revealed pricing here. They're trying to fleece Americans and Canadians while not holding true to their original ethos. Farmers won't be buying this thing. It's for gwagon posers now. That's the image. Fuck that guy who started it...
You can say lipstick on a pig all you want, but I love my dmax still and don't care if i have to drag a dumb ass trailer of batteries behind me or mount them all over the truck. If it works, I'll be tempted to trade the r1t for the Denali ev.
Saw this topic and was curious what it is that you do there? Is it just a meet and greet thing? Talk and drink coffee and eat macaroons in a parking lot?
Nope. I have a big ol' heavy duty diesel for distance towing and if the Rivian craps out on me. I also wouldn't have bought an R1T without that truck in the stable already.
