Tank turn in the stream.I think we should take that as a challenge. We should all try to ford a 3 foot stream withing the first month of ownership.

You may want to refer to the Rivian insurance thread before you do that. They’re watching!Tank turn in the stream.
Preferably, not while towing something. Especially not while flat-towing your Motorhome to the other side.Tank turn in the stream.
I asked RJ himself about flat towingIn the big picture, the likely % of Rivian owners with a large RV is pretty small. Those looking to flat tow is even smaller.
An aftermarket solution is probably your best hope.
This also goes for other specialized uses like 37" tires and rock crawling.
Adding the additional hardware and software for either/both would add zero value to me (and most owners) while increasing cost and complexity.
I'm not completely convinced that RJ did not know that "tow charging" was not the same as "flat towing". I'm not an RV person and am more than a little surprised that hauling a 7,000 lb vehicle behind an RV is even a thing. Out of curiosity, what do you think the total annual sales would be for that purpose?
You must be in salesYou're miffed that Rivian isn't finding a solution for a niche issue, and using a WWII Jeep analogy; but in your analogy, Willis didn't develop the solution -- Warn did. The vehicle manufacturer didn't solve the problem, in your analogy -- the aftermarket vendor did.
So... Don't be miffed at Rivian. Go talk with the aftermarket and find someone where the "niche" is big enough for them to go after.
You are a wise man! (That statement, in itself, serves as further proof of your assumption, and therefore, you’re wiseness.). Also, a middle child. Therefore, constantly seeking the approval of others.??You must be in sales
Not to get off track but you have a Corvair?! Loved my ‘64 Corvair that I had back in th 60’s. First engine I stripped down and broke the case in half to rebuild the whole thing. Was in the Aif Force then so it could stay in the Auto Hobby shop and I could stand t he walking around. Rebuilt the dash to fill with SW guages.You are a wise man!

That said, I do hope you find a way to be able to flat-tow a Rivian and that you get one. Oh, there I go again...
That is easy, just get a flatbed trailer, and you can flat tow the Rivian.That said, I do hope you find a way to be able to flat-tow a Rivian and that you get one. Oh, there I go again...
He's why there is an ignore featureSeriously, can you not take a joke? You take yourself WAY to serious (while constantly being condescending to others). I bet you are a lot of fun at parties.
Challenge accepted.I think we should take that as a challenge. We should all try to ford a 3 foot stream withing the first month of ownership.
Stream fording is quite a but different than enabling flat towing.More than the number that will ever ford a 3 foot stream.

I still have my Corvair and would like to convert it into an EV for around town. I bought it 37 years ago yesterday from the parents of childhood friend and they were the original owners. It's been in storage (and hasn't been driven) since '89, when I found a '65 'Vette that needed a good home. As much fun as the 'Vette was, there was something magical about the sound of that air-cooled engine stirring behind you when cruising around the mountains in the night time with the top down. Magical enough that I've held on to it all these years.Not to get off track but you have a Corvair?! Loved my ‘64 Corvair that I had back in th 60’s.
