Covered bridges

Going to have to watch out for these. Was just looking at one popular one in my state (livecam above) which has a weight limit of 3 tons (6000lbs) which is well short of the R1T's weight at 7148lbs (curb) - 8532 lbs. (GVWR)

Y'all think the nav will help us remember? I've never owned a heavy vehicle like this so I am unsure if any nav systems help watch out for weight limits.

Also this probably doesnt account for max pack, although I would guess this does account for the off road upgrade plating as I think LE come with that? Basing this off the owners manual: https://assets.rivian.com/k534zewng...2b14ef9e33343867603819a3/r1t-owners-guide.pdf

That would be a good question for Rivian. It would be extremely handy if their Nav accounted for load restrictions.

a weight limit of 3 tons (~6600lbs)

I doubt they are talking about metric tons since the sign is in the USA. So the weight limit is only 6,000 lb.

Ooh good catch thanks, I will edit my original post.

Ironically that is “Waits”field Vermont ;-)

You now have me worrying about the long term impact of 7k-8k lbs on the average less than brand new driveway.

Free compacting for gravel driveways though!

And there is a DCFC there (but it's only 50 or 60 kW).

Oh, gosh, I recently did a self-guided covered bridge tour in NH, well if recently is 2019.

hmm when I turned on the live feed there was an f250 with a plow and salt spreader on the back that is probably 8000lbs plus depending on how much salt he has on board.
