    Affordable AT tire option: OE take offs from new Silverado/Sierra 2500 and 3500

    The original 20" all terrains on my R1T lasted ~31k miles. I was looking at smaller all season tires for cost and range savings, but after a quick craigslist search found a set of nearly new 275/65r20 Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunners that were taken off a new Silverado 2500. A fair deal at $400...

    MotorTrend trip charging strategy comparison

    Realistically I think it begins to break down if you're using level 2 charging, especially as you dip below 11kW; e.g. when the last leg of your mileage for one day of a multi day trip ends at a hotel with a 6kW charger.

    Let's Ride the Dragon

    Interested in joining the trip. If starting from Gatlinburg, consider taking the recently opened and unpaved Parson Branch Rd to get to US 129. That's the beauty of our trucks - fun on and off pavement! Also, it would be criminal to not include a drive along some of the other roads around...

    Green on Green on Blue 183 Mile Road Trip & Pure Driving Bliss on Blue Ridge Parkway, NC

    Someone should organize a Blue Ridge Parkway and forest road drive in Western NC. It's a common area for multi day car meets and there are many interesting places to ride and visit.

    Episode Three: Powering Adventure [Focus on Rivian Battery Technology]

    Thanks, Eye. Apologies if this thread is redundant. Didn't see the Rivian Stories thread. I think this video is especially interesting for those interested in Rivian battery and charging tech as well as alternative energy storage and battery upcycling. Some new info I learned from the video...
