Boat Show - Show the boats you're towing with your Rivian

[89hoya]

What kind of mileage are you getting with towing a jet ski like that? I've been considering getting one but am not positive on how it will effect my range.

I'll le tyou know tomorrow. I'm towing it about 140 miles tonight.

24ft Supra Launch!
~5500 with Boat and Trailer + STUFF

Nice Supra! Love the colors on boat and truck. How well did it tow?

How'd it end up going?

If we’re having a boat show on the forum, let’s see some non-trailer boats too!

Sure, but not in the towing forum.

I wish I had reset one of the trip computers so I could give you real stats. Instead, here is what I observed.

Started with 320 miles in Conserve mode that changed to 145 miles in Tow mode. I was nervous since I was going 143 miles.

Turns out the R1T didn't really care that it was towing a Waverunner. I arrived with 136 miles remaining in Conserve and 103 miles in Tow.

First trip in the books. Range was about what I expected though maybe a bit worse. I learned a lesson to not just trust the maps and to make sure I'm going the best route. Waze and the builtin maps both told me to take a higher speed, longer distance route on the way back (70mph highways) which made the range a little closer than I would've liked.

Interesting, I’d have thought you’d be over 1 m/kWh for that boat. Guess that tower is causing quite a bit of drag.

I averaged just over 1 mile/kwh towing from Warrenton to Portland using HWY 30. It tows great, the added weight of the truck keeps it from being pushed around and the instant torque makes going up hills so effortless.

Nice boat, we miss our G21..

I only live a mile from the boat ramp, so range is not much of an issue

I was on the way to the boat ramp but it dipped on the way back home. I didn't reset the meter between them so maybe the dip was from the unloading/loading process? I was also on straight highways 60+mph most of the way home.

'20 Scarab Open ID (before and after hullside enhancement package) if & when the R1T arrives. '16 Tundra will have to do for now.

That's the first electric boat i've seen that's that high performance.
