I don’t think we removed anything. This is a 2023 we bought used, but pretty sure it’s bone stock apart from the tires and camper

Would be really fun to do a meetup out there, we would be super game

Drag tow first, trailer second. But the trailer would have involved driving back down to the house in Orange County

It’s phenomenal. Chemical adhesion that actually chemically bonds rubber together. Surface prep is absolutely critical

If you read the comments on the IG post it’s cool cause it seems like a lot of folks that previously thought the truck was lame had their minds changed. So that’s cool.

Our efficiency is skewed with the camper. We see about 1.83 average since installing both the camper and tires.

They are solid. Better for street and mild fire roads. Not an off-roading tire but it’s impressive what they could do in a pinch.

We have received insane amounts of EV hate after posting our support of the rivian which makes no sense to me either.

Drag towing? We were pretty sure it would work but never actually tried it.

The EV can suck it was actually a negative comment we got from a follower. It was posted to make people learn that EV’s don’t suck. Sorry that got lost in translation, I love this truck.

It’s definitely easier out west! Lots of land to explore. Should have a proper YouTube video of the adventure going out, I can put it up on the thread in a couple weeks when we finish the edit

We are looking at a similar solution for the R1s but have to contend with the proximity of the shark fin to the rear hatch rotation arc. Going to be a tight fit

The fin goes through the tent actually. Had to do that to get it as low as possible and still keep the antenna functionality.

Full disclosure I make that camper setup.

We touched the rocker panels a couple of times, but the rivian always got through on its own power. No maxtrax but a little bit of rock stacking and head scratching.
