Colorado R1T Launch Green, Forest Edge for sale

[davidaugust]

Listing soon on Cars and Bids with no reserve, Launch Green with Forest Edge interior and 21" road wheels with full sized spare. 50 miles. This will be the first one (on C&B) with the green interior which is so much nicer looking, especially with LG exterior, IMO, than the same charcoal interior every other vehicle in the world seems to have these days. Part of the Forest Edge interior includes the natural finish on the Ash trim which, again, I think looks so much richer and natural than the blackened wood in the Black Mountain interiors. Combined with the Launch Edition trims and textures throughout it's a stunning interior.

I was able to compare the road noise of the 20" wheel/tire with the 21" combo and the road tire is considerably quieter. It's an unbelievably quiet ride at 70 mph. Added to the extra 10-15% range that Rivian and Pirelli claim for the 21 and I think it's the best choice for everything except the most serious off-roading.

Why are you selling?

Why are you selling?

 

[davidaugust]

A lot has changed since I put my order in a few years ago. One of the factors is that I just need a longer (6 foot) bed for transporting paintings. The truck is gorgeous, by far the best looking out there, and wonderfully fast and functional, but...

Combined with the premium they're bringing and it just makes sense to sell it.

LOL you could have easily found out how long the bed was before buying. Just admit it’s a pure cash grab

Why does anyone care why the person wants to dispose of his own property?

Not me. I work for free and get joy from the change I'm able to bring to someone's life by my labors.

I'm not sure why all the hate on the making money; in general, yes, I like to make money, though that was not part of the original equation. And to Mr. aptly named Venom, yes, I did know the bed length, but if you actually read my OP, you might have seen that my needs changed over the years between ordering and actually receiving.

GL. I hope you get a crap-ton for it. Maybe we'll see you in one when there's some decent aftermarket extenders to wall off the 7' you can get with the gate down. And thanks for the 21 vs 20 observation. I'd been wondering about the noise factor. It's hard to turn down the off road wheels when you're getting a deal on them but hoping there will be some road tires for the 20s soon.

It’s hard, but try not to take offense. It’s a knee jerk reaction to seeing someone sell their Rivian so quickly. Some people have been waiting a long time to get a truck and it stings a little to see some lucky person get theirs only to sell it right away. Bottom line is that it’s your truck and you absolutely have every right to sell it if you want (with the exception of ordering one just to flip it as far as I know). You’re obviously not a flipper since that was not your intent and your situation has changed, but just be prepared for a little backlash from some of us diehard future owners on these forums. Honestly though, I’m glad you were able to enjoy your truck for a bit and hope you end up with something that works out better! And thanks for the feedback on the tires!

Thank you sir! For my best use, I really need to be able to put a cap on for covered, dry transport, but easily remove it for Home Depot building supplies. I debated getting the R1S, but it's just too hard to load (think 80lb bags of mortar mix, concrete block, etc.) compared to a truck bed. I've got pulleys in the garage to get a cap off in a few minutes by myself.

Yeah, I know the bad thing about the 21" is that you (currently) get only one choice of a tire, and they aren't cheap. The 20" should soon have a choice. For me, 99% of my driving is pavement or gravel; by the time I'd be going far enough off-road I'm probably backpacking or riding along with a friend in an ancient CJ5 that's already battered enough to not worry about it

Buy low, sell high!

Why do we care what the OP does with their property? Should we sell other property the same price we bought it? Last time I checked this is still the U.S. of A
