R1S owner gets a taste of R1T truck life and fills a bed with flowers. What's your first "truck stuff" moment?

[Sara@Interrobang]

A friend’s R1S went into the shop and the Service Center handed them an R1T loaner. They immediately headed to the garden center, temporarily transforming the truck bed into a literal flower bed. The whole back end was packed stem to stern with native plants, perennials, and a plenitude of pollinator pulls.

We loved getting the photos, a perfect snapshot of that moment when someone realizes it’s not just a truck, it’s a tool. Functional. Floral. Fabulous.

So, now I’m curious:
What was your first "truck stuff" moment when you picked up your R1T?
And has anyone else accidentally made a rolling botanical garden out of their bed?

Now the question is - is your friend buying a R1T after he gets his R1S back?
I was recently in the Walnut Creek Rivian showroom and they had a R1T on display...my kids and I LOVED IT and I think I can totally switch from S to T but my wife is opposing the idea...

R1S stuff for me it was swallowing and entire Ikea sofa bed in.

Sticking with the R1S. They've got access to borrow an R1T when needed. Something just clicked when they got this loaner from the SC where they realized how fun the experience can be. I suspect they'll be borrowing the R1T much more frequently now!

Beyond impressive!

When I realized I could rent some great snow tubes on the cheap from a shop just a short drive from the hill. Couldn't have done it without the T!

I recommend everyone just buy one of each. That solves all the problems!

T when you need it, S when you need it.
Happiness abound!

3 days after I picked up my T, I picked up 60 bags of mulch.

Someone needs to make a steel-bar doohickey that mounts into the trailer hitch and curves up and tees out left and right to protect the vehicle from fork lift driver exuberance.

One week old has gas smell from chainsaw and a load of wood.

Mulch. Lots and lots of mulch.

930 gallons of water plus trailer= 9,756lbs
But only 6 miles away
2 times a month for watering the yard.

WOW! I'm sure it was just as fun getting those bags unloaded from the truck as it was loading them

Saw the cup holder you made with that wood. Beautiful enough to make the gas smell worth it!
