The Past is the Future! HiLo trailer pulled to Vogel Park with R1T

Bigz3393 · Aug 14, 2023

Was very nervous taking our first trip in the rivian but my 1982 HiLo trailer impacted range less than anticipated. Seeing a 25-30% reduction in range. Awesome to be able to plug the charger right in at the campsite for a level 2 charge too. A few months ago I made a post citing various issues with the truck that I'm happy to say have been mostly resolved (still waiting for voice to text and the trailer camera update though) Will be planning more trips!

Looks great. do you recall what the trip efficiency was? Also how long was the trip?

Nice! You should do better because it's a reduced height vs a traditional TT. Aero seems to affect range to a much greater degree than weight.

In perfect conditions I can see up to 1.25 with my coachmen apex 245BHS TT. My most recent trip down south in the sweltering July heat was closer to 1 mi per kwh. I should say though that the 1.25 was in the T in May and the last trip was in the S in July.

I was doing about 1.2-1.5 mpkwh I believe. About a 100 miles each way so not too far. Left with 95% and the estimate said we'd get there with 100 miles left but still had 200 when we arrived.

I bet you weren't doing 75-80+mph like some do even when towing a trailer...

No I cruise at 65. I don't think my tires are rated for over 60? Still did some flooring to pass a few big rigs though

I feel like we should start an ‘Atlanta LC 100 owners who also have Rivians that they use to tow fun stuff to North Georgia’ club.

We ride by (sometimes through) Vogel regularly after towing trailer full of dual-sport/adventure bikes up. Finally picked up an RV 30-amp adapter so we can camp and charge too.

Your range may improve if you put your awning in while towing.

Jk, cool rv!
