Question about using cruise control while towing

[oregonridet]

…Manual Cruise Control (Rivian capitalizes it) is available when towing. It is initiated by pulling the right stalk towards you, and disengaged by pushing it away from you. All it does is maintain a set speed without regard to the speed limit or vehicles around it. So, old school.

So if you like old school cruise control and are not towing you are out of luck? You have to use adaptive CC?

You could put the truck in tow mode, which disables adaptive. I think it also disables the rear sensors.

How about setting the following distance to the minimum?

On the highway you will have people cutting in front of you.

What I meant was setting the following distance to the minimum. That way the vehicle won’t begin to slow down until you are close to the vehicle in front.

Have you read the R2 manual? Page 249 discusses that.

Sorry to disappoint you but I’m a RTFM guy so I actually have read it (and every page before it). That’s what lead me to this thread (instead of starting a new one).

When you re-read it, tell me just how it explains following distance.

I have a test drive on Thursday. I’ll figure it out.
