This feature sounds a bit gimmicky to me. ??‍♂
Not really when you think about the trucks being "adventurous forever". It would make sense to take the speaker and put it on a campsite table and listen to music and have lantern light. IMO

Some will manage to forget the speaker. What does the compartment in the R1T look like when the speaker is gone. Yes that is going to happen. The ridgeline has them built in to the bed I believe. I always try to mention I could be wrong or some know it all will correct me.

I have clarification on maximum payload and maximum tongue weight for the R1T.


Chat started: 8:15 AM
Hello and thanks for contacting Rivian! My name is Martin. How can I help today?

Customer Service Specialist
Q: The web site no longer shows data for maximum payload for the R1T, I am interested in what the maximum payload is. I also want to know the maximum tongue weight for trailer towing.

A: Sure thing! Let me get this info for you. Just one moment.
1,764 lbs for that payload. Let me get the tongue weight.
The trailer hitch receiver and vehicle structure are rated for a tongue weight of 1,470 lbs.

Yep! On-board air compressor with off-road upgrade package. Should be awesome. The company I own is actually manufacturing the compressor air chuck for Rivian, that is the part that actually secures to to the tire valve stem. It's gonna be a nice kit for sure.
Being the owner make it right.

honda ridgeline, pre order for cybertruck and r1t
ditch the factory bluetooth speaker, you can buy tons of those at best buy. besides, why are you going to have the truck playing music and draining battery? why not just stream from your phone like everyone does anyway. and what about your own music? will there be a hard drive or memory to upload things to? it's stuff like this that i wonder how much of the 70k was wasted on insted of trying to make the price more affordable for us unwashed masses.

alo make the air compressor stand alone add on option. please have sirius satellite option.

They should make a reminder if you try to drive off without it plugged in, with the option to dismiss the reminder until the unit has been plugged back in again, to help us not leave it behind.

I like the idea of this speaker alot. It's nothing I couldn't buy, but for some reason, having it dock in the vehicle would reduce the mental clutter of buying one third party and having to keep track of the charger for it.

I used Sirius XM for the first 3 trial months of my Audi ownership and when I didnt renew, they extend it for a year for free, and when I didnt renew, they offer $15 dollars a year, and once the year was done I cancel it...

I purchased a BT speaker for my current truck because without fail, i only needed one when i didnt have one. built in solves that issue for many. i would hope that you are able to connect other devices to the speaker. SiriusXM just makes sense, and i dont think that amazon has an alternative!
