    California FS: (Set of 5) 20x9 +21 Fuel Ammo with Factory Pirelli Tires

    Reason for sale Currently on the R1T, but I am getting some bead locks and larger tires so I am selling these for a great price! For Sale 1.) Fuel Ammo 20x9 +21 (5 wheels) Great condition. No scratches. I never actually got a chance to really go offroading in these so they are in great...

    Hell's Gate in my R1T

    Hell yeah nice send! With the info we've gained from our simulated roller tests on how the Rivian reacts to "crawling and low traction situations there is definitely room for improvement. If it is true that the Electric Motors react the way they do to prevent overheating, then we cannot gain a...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    Yes this is why we decided it wasn't worth it to do every single drive mode. I try to explain the numbers in a previous post, but perhaps not everyone understands this. When we get bigger tires on the Rivian it might help a little bit. Low torque in low speed but the beauty of the Rivian is the...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    The Rivian has 10,325 lb-ft of "grounded torque" (quoted Richard Farquhar VP Propulsion) through a 12.6:1 gear ratio (EPA Test info). This equates to about a 10% drivetrain loss (908 lb-ft) which is actually really good and makes sense considering there is no parasitic loss due to transmissions...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    The Ford has a curb weight of 6,769 lbs so it is NOT heavier than the Rivian. Yes still impressive. If you watch closely on pull 2 and 3 the Rivian actually pulls the Tremor back. My conclusion from this test is that even with "traction control off" the computers are still limiting wheel speed!

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    The Rivian computer is still doing something even with "traction control off"... its just too smart to let us have fun. Thanks! At the moment we are not developing sliders. There are already really nice ones on the market. This is not true. The 2021 F350 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed has a curb...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    I know how forums and the internet works... I was even nice enough to put the exact time mark in the original post where the pulls happen so you don't have to watch the 10 minute video ;), but I guess reading also eludes those of us in a time crunch :movember:. This one is for you. A little...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    EVLANDER tested one for us on an R1S and the Trail Swing fits dimensionally. The issue is there is no access to the back of the R1S hitch to tighten our wedge system for the anti wobble. I have been going back and forth on several variations of designs to solve this issue but I haven't nailed...

    Tug of War on Pavement: R1T vs F350 Tremor

    First of all, I have put over 12,000 miles on my R1T in 5 months and I still love it today. For an all around vehicle nothing beats it. As shown in our previous 4x4 roller test video, the quad motor could use a transfer case or even some sort of "simulated locker" to really perform excellent in...

    *New Product Alert* Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack Installed.

    Hello everybody, Front Runner has not yet released the racks on the website. However I did get the bed rack on and I am very impressed. I will do a separate thread on this product.

    I’m Selling My Rivian R1T - In-Depth Owner Review After 24k Miles In 9 Months

    Wow, when I posted my 4x4 roller test video I included a summary on the post and I only got 3 pages of comments. Maybe I should've just dropped the link without any context and I could've harnessed 7 pages of forum comments in 24 hours. 🤔. My next video I will just drop the link. Sarcasm aside...

    Official Spotlight: Latest App & Software Updated w/ Enhanced Trip Planning Powered by ABRP (Updated w/ Screenshots)

    Big question I have is does it have a more accurate range calculation. The built in Rivian range estimation for highway speeds is horrible and can be off 20% by the time your destination is reached. The reason I love ABRP is it takes your speed into account for range depletion and you can add...

    *New Product Alert* Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack Installed.

    Yes correct. Fuel Ammo 20x9 +20 offset. They are listed at 43 lbs which is 4 lbs heavier than the factory Rivian 20" Dark AT wheels (which i measured at 39 lbs). They aren't driveable on lowest and sometimes rub on low on really hard bumps. Yes definitely something to consider. Easy enough to...

    *New Product Alert* Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack Installed.

    Was @NWCamper referring to this rack and how I racked my wheel or is it another inside joke I'm unaware of 😆?

    POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    Almost everyone drives cars but not everyone is a car enthusiast or a tech enthusiast. Cars are an appliance to a lot of people and that means good design should be easy for everybody. Yeah that's reality. I think with my posts here people think I'm advocating NACS and I hate CCS. The...

    POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    Yes but my point wasn't what plug is available. My point was who will have the more seemless experience? The people who can drive up and plug in a NACS and walk away? Or the people with CCS who have to fumble with a credit card or open up their Tesla app and navigate the menus and choose charge...

    POLL: Would you like Rivian to adopt NACS Tesla charging standard?

    The fact that they are offering $7.5 billion for Tesla to open up 500,000 charging stations to all vehicles.. . I would say they are indirectly supporting NACS even if it's not directly written. If I'm a new manufacturer wanting to give the best charging network which plug would I go with? If...
