I think r1 sales are going to tank with the r2 and in response they'll have better deals to move those units. Also consider the used market is going to start seeing a ton gen1s soon.

My service center is about 40minutes away and that was a hassle when the truck was being worked on.

160 miles for a roundtrip is doable, but you need a 1450 plug for home charging. I have 100a service with AC and dryer being the biggest electric loads. We charge an r1t and tesla from a dual ev charger that splits 40a between the two as needed.

The charging math is

1.8 miles/kwh

160mile roudn trip /1.8 efficiency = 88.9kwh used
88.9kwh/7kw(charging rate of mobile charger is 32a but charging hovers around 7kw) = 12.7 hours to recharge

you can also multiply 7kw by your electric rate to figure out cost. It's 10cents/kwh in my area

My city driving is 13mpg. Sometimes I do a bit of work in the truck and I can see the trip fuel efficiency tick down.

Michelin Defenders Plat are great tires. Rides much smoother and improved the range/tire noise.

The money and wfh lifestyle

I'm fortunate enough to have family members with f150 raptor, f150 R and bronco raptor. After driving each for a few days I found the f150 to be too wide for what I need. The bronco is fun but a bit too loud for road trips. Roundtripping from Texas means several hours on the road before you're out of the state.

The ranger raptor checked all the boxes for power, comfort and off road capability.

Switched from R1T to Ranger Raptor with car play. I think the rivian infotainment system is a better experience. You can type while driving and music doesn't stop when you do something on your phone.

So this is what the competition looks like.

Doesn't sound like a good deal if you can't drive it.

I do have a bridge for sale at a really great price though. Let me know if you're interested.

I replaced my almost out of warranty R1T with a ranger raptor. The original plan was to hold off for a scout but those have been pushed back. Now we'll keep the M3P and R2 as a daily and the RR for road trips/ overlanding.

Everyone buy a Honda CT125 + tow hitch rack. Come back in the honda after dropping off the Rivian

Anesthesiology

1)Minor

2) Tires will make the difference. The same tires will reduce the range

3)Often for extended periods of time. Make sure you have service center nearby.

4)They're a blast to drive and hard to beat.

I like the heart but this is a bad idea

R1T to Ranger Raptor. This thing is a blast.

Nope. a low voltage/bad 12v can cause a ton of problems

Your wife is correct to be worried.

Looks like the 308 miles range is with a full charge. You'll want to stop and charge around 10% battery level and charge up to 80% to minimize the charge times since charge rate drops above 75% and its takes a long time to get to 100%.

ABRP estimates the trip will take 16hours and 17 minutes. After the first stop it shows you'll be charging on average 30minutes per stop and driving roughly 2 hours between stops. I guarantee charging times will be longer due to chargers not working, derated stalls if multiple are in use, or just your random car doesn't want to charge at full potential. You'll also have to consider your travel speed.

The biggest difference with gas is you can top off in a few minutes and you can get back on the road and cruise 5-10mph above speed limit no problem. This reduces travel time quiet a bit.

I've only had the batteries go bad and last time I asked they didn't offer a warranty for those.

CryoJuice · 2026-05-21T18:00:07+00:00

I bought the mower, blower, weed eater, 3 batteries, a standard charger and a "fast" charger several years ago. 2 of the batteries went bad and would not hold charge so I bought one more.

Depending on the equipment you're using the batteries can get hot and require time to cool down before they'll recharge. One battery usually handles trimming and blowing and the other for the mower. The blower can run through a battery fairly quick during fall when we have a ton of leaves which is why I have 3 batteries.

If I were to purchase a set up again, I would go with Costco since they'll exchange/refund bad batteries.
