    Need more range for skiing

    This is the way. Unless there is an accident, going 26 will most likely solve the issue.

    New Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 coming soon

    Did you recalibrate to the size of 21s or stay with 20s?

    Yakima Fatcat or Thule Snowpack?

    I also used the fatcat 6 last season (R1T) and liked them. No stability issues or cabin noise even on a 10 hour drive up to Montana. However, I did have a few freezing instances, but now I just keep and electric kettle handy.

    Any regrets on 20" All Terrain tires for suburban parents not off-roading?

    I debated the 20s vs 21s for a long time, ultimately going with 20s for a few reasons: There are so many more tire options for the 20s than 21s; @Riviot and others have had great efficiency results with switching to AS3. The 20 is a stronger wheel being forged. I took delivery a year ago and the...

    Would You Leave Your R1T at PDX for 10 Days?

    I left mine in covered parking for four days in late June with gear guard on, lost about 2% a day if I remember correctly. Vampire drain is better than it was earlier on. Leave with a high soc and you should be good, just don’t compulsively check the app and wake the truck. Maybe you’ll get...

    RAN Powered: PDX to NorCal & Redwoods

    Very variable, and my experience is probably different than many with really young kids. In all, the loop was 6 nights for us, but two of those were seeing family. I think 2-3 days driving one direction through the redwoods would be good. I found this page from NPS super helpful in planning...

    RAN Powered: PDX to NorCal & Redwoods

    We did do Ave of the Giants, one of my favorite parts of the drive. We were only able to do a few very short hikes, but there looked like so many great trails just off the road. Definitely will go back someday.

    RAN Powered: PDX to NorCal & Redwoods

    Good to know on the restaurant. There was another owner that pulled up to charge right after we arrived. Between chatting, diaper changes, and stretching, the truck was more than ready to go. 20-70ish% sure does charge quickly.

    Possibly some activity in Portland

    Mine was serviced at the downtown location a few weeks ago (minor issues). I also asked about the Tualatin location and rep said it would stay open for more complex service issues. Glad to see a growing presence in PDX metro

    Portland area tire service

    I rotated about a month and a half ago. I called Discount in Wilsonville and Tigard, neither had pucks and could do it. Ended up purchasing a puck and doing it myself; wasn’t difficult, just read the manual. Hopefully local shops have pucks soon.

    Will R1T fit ski length 193cm (6' 4") without a ski rack?

    My 186 QST Blank do not fit. I ended up getting the Yakima fat cat 6 (20% off during a REI sale) because my box wouldn’t fit over the bed. I was mostly happy with it, but the locks did freeze on me one particularly cold day so I always take a kettle with me know. The Blanks do have a bit of...

    Ford Increasing F150 Lightning Prices Again

    Also received the configure email today. I did a test drive a few months back, helped me realize how much I really enjoy the R1T interior (lines, minimalism, material) and the truck in general compared to the Lighting (so many buttons!). The Lighting is an awesome vehicle and the more EVs on the...

    A sweet spot for VINs on a used R1T?

    I have an August build vin 109xx and it has been great with no issues; it has drunk 12v and two magnets

    500 mile winter road trip

    I just returned from a portion of this same trip: Pdx to Whitefish and back. Thanks to @Riviot for making the trek from Seattle a few weeks ago, I had the confidence to do it with wife and kids (two year old and three month old). Unlike Riviot and OP, I had mostly clear roads and just a bit of...

    Oregon owners: How long did you wait for your plates & registration from the DMV?

    I took delivery 9/16 and received my plates beginning of December, about two weeks before the temporary expiration.

    Who Hasn’t Had a Service Call?

    Delivered 9/16, 4500 miles. A few random error messages that went away after a sleep cycle, otherwise no issues…. besides a small windshield rock chip
