Jeep sold 229k wranglers in 2019 and 201k in 2020. I highly doubt that out of that many Jeeps, only 15 are towed behind an RV. I know they're not because we go to the desert and I see at least 15 jeeps behind motorhomes just on the trip out.That's what, 15 trucks? If that's all they lose, I don't think they'll notice.
If Rivain makes the R1S and R1T flat towable, they stand to gain a much larger market share and take a lot of sales away from Jeep, which if you follow their reason for making the truck and SUV, they are targeting the active outdoor community, you know Jeep owners.
We looked at buying a Land Rover, but they said we could not flat tow the Discovery. So we didn't buy one.
I guess if Rivain can't do it, then they can't do it. It's unfortunate because we really like the SUV.
ETA - I guess there will be a disclaimer on the R1T and R1S if the vehicle needs to be towed home due to a dead battery or any other issues which require a tow truck. That disclaimer will be the vehicle must be towed on a flatbed only.
