It's interesting to see peoples different views, but I am the opposite mentality. I have a relatively early R1T and I think that it is optioned nicer than the newer builds. I have a working and updated powered tonneau, the Meridian, more wood trim, a 12v charger in the front trunk.... The...

So I actually have a first gen Raptor with the 6.2 for this reason. It’s a different kind o fun than my R1T. Both amazing for their own reasons.

Ummmm.. You know the R1T has a higher payload and towing capacities than both Raptors and also won the Rebelle Rally, right??? You know. Truck Stuff.

As a Lotus enthusiast, I often think about Colin Chapman's quote "Adding horsepower makes you faster in the straights. Removing weight makes you faster everywhere." Mr. Chapman was not wrong, but the fact that the R1T does what it does just speaks to the engineering behind it.

Edmunds does a U-Drags series which is a good test of vehicle performance. Here is the R1T vs Raptor R. I do not think the results will surprise anyone here, but fun to watch. To me, the video just reinforces how impressive the R1s are.

I have to agree that the SLC service center continues to disappoint me. On a recent new windshield installation, the service center broke the left interior trim on the driver side A-pillar and damaged the passenger side A-pillar trim. They returned it to me damaged. When they finally came to fix...

Drift mode alone is worth the price of entry for the quad.

Most recent trip this weekend to Moab, UT.

I’ve had my FG/FE one year. A few months ago, I was given a loaner R1 with a Black Mountain interior for a few days. Getting back into my R1T with FE only reinforced how much I prefer the FE interior. To me, the contrast is just so much nicer than the BM and I don’t have the concerns about...

Years ago, the TV show Mythbusters did a test to see if drifting a car was in any way quicker around a track compared to traditional racing lines. The answer was that is was actually slower, but arguably much more fun. That logic also holds true to the R1. Rally is probably the quickest way to...

I did not get to them this trip but have done them in the past. Both are great options. This trip turned into more of an experiment to see how an EV gets by there with limited infrastructure. I actually had the trip to Moab on the calendar and was going to take my 4Runner but my wife...

I agree about the coffee shop in Green River. They are also super dog friendly. If it is closed, there is a park a block away with facilities and water. It was a great trip!

My dogs and I spent a few days exploring Moab in my R1T. I’ve had my Rivian for about a year and just want to encourage others to get out and explore. Charging: Rivian, please get some Level 2 waypoint chargers set up in Moab! The charging infrastructure in Moab leaves much to be desired...

I will preface this comment that I have a relatively early build Adventure. That being said, I think a better filter is not the trim but the build date. I think the early builds, regardless of trim, may be more desirable in the long run (note I did not say valuable). The reason I say this is...

7,000 miles and just yesterday got a crack that can't be repaired. I'm not even sure what caused the crack as I just noticed it yesterday. My 4Runner has 170k miles of tough use and the original windshield. It does make me wonder about the Rivian glass.

I am in Utah too. What shop did the install for you?

For what it's worth, a tech at the service center I use said that excessive use of Conserve Mode will cause significant tire wear on the front tires. This came up as I was asking because I regularly drive between the Bay Area and Utah. Bottom line is that I was advised not to use it unless I...

I was thinking that too, but with all of the concerns about expenditures, I think there is the possibility that the market may react more positively in the longer run from a cash management perspective. But yea... who really knows.

I love my R1T, but not enough to give up any of my other vehicles when the Rivian came in. My Grand Cherokee easily gets over 500 miles of highway range and there is much less stress (and less time) when going on road trips in the Jeep. As capable as the R1s are, they are still hampered by...
