Purposely getting a Rivian stuck at vehicle recovery training class

[JeremyP]

This weekend I got to attend a vehicle recovery class by Bill Burke (bb4wa.com). Part of the time was in the field (on BLM land designated as open to cross country vehicle travel, so you really are allowed to drive wherever you want in this area). One fun part was watching Bill purposely get his R1T stuck a few times by backing into a gulley so we could practice getting it out. He definitely gives the underbody skid plate and prototype rock sliders a thorough testing on a weekly basis! The truck also has copper stt pro mud terrains to handle the heavy offroad use.

Prototype rock sliders you say?

Looks like a lot of fun and a popular class!

Prototype rock sliders? You know if they are his or a third part design? Or is he testing something for Rivian?

I think they are prototypes from rivian, and had plenty of scrapes on the bottom from use.

The toyota 4x4 club I'm in was fortunate to arrange the training, since his schedule is quite full.

Was this near Grand Junction? I would love to get into one of those at some point.
