Kent, are you in this springs delivery window?
I was unable to reply here when I tried before....trying again. My window is July/September but I haven't been contacted.
I noticed on Tire Rack that the A/Ts cost less and we're higher rated than the All Seasons. I like a sharp edge on tires for directional predictability in windy slushy, snowy conditions. The All Seasons we're rated about half as high, but lighter weight tires will enhance milage and performance.

So who's got the white one in Ankeny now? My delivery window is Apr-May, but I haven't heard from a guide yet.

Sooooooo when do we get to see the truck?
There's a few of us in Omaha that have ours. I'm positive of mine and a guy that has a white one. I've seen a black one floating around town too.

I just saw a white R1T yesterday on 156th and Douglas in Urbandale. Almost went off the road my neck snapped so fast. Didn't think I'd see one in person for months.

I have an R1S ordered, but I am a Jan 2022 pre-order date, so it'll be a while before I see mine.

Is the person that had that white one I saw in Urbandale on this forum? I live just down the road in Urbandale and would really appreciate seeing it in person.

Mine will be white with 21s probably, but not expecting it until August here in Dubuque.

I can confirm the white R1T in the Des Moines area is not me.. my neighbor seen it last week right by the south hy-vee in Ankeny. I’ve been watching, no sighting for me yet.

From the picture it appears to be on the 22’s and obviously white - exactly the config I’ve got ordered. Sure wish I could see it in person. No guide or contact yet.

Rivian R1T R1S Iowa anyone? 24AA5206-F6E4-46FD-887F-027432A639B3

That is Ankeny and my configuration, but I don't expect delivery until August. There have been two sightings of something similar around Dubuque though I haven't seen it.
I just changed wheels back to 20's from All terrain Verdes. The street tires had rather poor wet traction reviews. We have a lot of slush up in Dubuque and don't want that failing. I have run the Scorpion ATs+ on my Frontier Pro 4x and liked them a lot.
The ATs are less expensive for some reason on Tire Rack though the electric vehicle version is much more expensive. 48 pounds of air pressure recommended, I heard. I'm expecting almost yearly replacement, but really have no idea.

Plummer -- I think the pic I posted and the one you did are two different trucks! The rims are different aren't they? Meaning we have potentially two white ones already in the area. madness

Friend just reported a grey one out by Jordan Creek yesterday.

Sure wish someone who has on could post here, so we could come take a look at it in person.
