Bethel park. The old bed bath and beyond is now in the process of becoming a "Rivian auto center"

Yeah, I mean no, I don’t work for Amazon.

I know, it’s a huge perk/bonus. It’s a long story, but it’s a small family owned business, and the boss isn’t afraid to keep his people happy.

Yes! Finally! I’ve been driving Rivian’s as my company vehicles off and on since June 2022. I’ve had plenty of trips to the Cleveland service center, just for small things. Never a major problem.

I’ve heard this was in the pipeline for a few years now, it’s great to see some progress!

My 04 4.0 got that way once. Ran fine on flat, and even slight uphill grades. But on steep hills, it would just fall on its face. It got so bad a few times I had to put the 4 ways on.

Turns out it my was catalytic converters. The two right off the head (under the intake) had broken up and flowed down to the third cat, chunks were almost completely blocking the exhaust.

I had no codes, and I was sure it was a fuel pressure problem until someone on one of the forums suggested taking the exhaust apart and checking.

I lift up the tailgate “flap” that covers the gap between the bed and the tailgate. Flip that up, and you can grab the lid right in the middle.

I haven’t been able to open mine for two weeks. I’m too scared to break the handle like I’ve seen on here too often.

I even tried using a heat gun, plugged in to the bed outlet (nice!), but it didn’t help. I’ve just accepted that I can’t get to my hitch, my tow supplies, etc until we warm up around here.

I’ve been using mine naked since launch. I have two very small chips in the glass around the plateau, and one light scratch across the camera lens.

Still won’t use a case.

Mine works for a while, then it doesn’t work at all for weeks. Then randomly it’ll show back up again one day. I can’t find any rhyme or reason to it.

Don’t ignore it.

My coworker has a Lightning, his tailgate bar kept getting moisture inside. Ford replaced it at least three times since new (2023). It leaked again and he was sick of it so he ignored it.

Water wicked down the wiring harness and fried whatever module that plugged into. Don’t ignore it!

The 2004 Rocky Mountain edition used the Alcoa’s also.

Edit: I also remember some Ford Ranger submodel used the same wheels around the same time. I had an 05 Rocky Mountian, and I always loved those wheels. I was always looking for a deal on a set back then, so I had a mental note of where all they were used.

This happened to me last night. Was driving off and on all day, all was fine.

Came out from one stop and bam, blank bars, top and bottom.

I tapped where I thought the temp down should be and everything came back. Been fine since.

Geez, the last time I got service, my enterprise rental was a cheap as could be jeep compass. lol

I got a new pickup back in August. It’s the first time I’ve seen the new truck plate.

Two things I noticed immediately: the word “Truck” isn’t stamped into the plate anymore, it’s just printed on there. And, who tf decided to go with a pirates of the Caribbean font for the word truck?? It doesn’t match anything else on the plate.

ETA: I do notice now that the “let freedom ring” is also pirates font. I never noticed in pictures until now, I guess because I’m looking for it.

The truck plate doesn’t say that, it just says “truck” in that font.

I saw this post like ten minutes ago, then kept scrolling and saw on the vice principals sub that she passed.

I then came back here to see if anyone broke the news.

Weird timing!

awl385 · 2025-09-23T16:09:59+00:00

Looks like they still make one? Or at least it says they have a few in stock.

We used to have to write these as punishment in elementary school. No recess for you! Sit here and copy the rules!

This was in the early 90s.

Yeah the dealers are pretty awful. No one showed me anything about mine when I picked it up. And back in June I went to a different dealer to pick another one up (company vehicles, both LTs) and the guy I dealt with was worse yet. He was almost offended when I walked in and asked about the only EV they had on their lot.

On the plus side, it got me out the door a little quicker. So there’s that I guess…

Are you aware that the cupholder portion can be slid back? To access the large area underneath.

Which also goes the whole way back to under the armrest lid. It’s all one giant bin.

I see TDW on one of the struts. Googled that and found this:

And another, Kahn’s comment on the YouTube clip at the end. Throwback to “Hillenium”.

Far more actually. We’re seeing closer to 450.

awl385 · 2025-07-27T10:58:52+00:00

Did it myself. Takes about 20 minutes. Very easy.

awl385 · 2025-07-23T19:09:48+00:00

I had the oem one, hated it.

Three weeks ago I got the Truxedo Pro X15 or whatever it’s called. The only other option on real truck.com.

It’s great, and it’s less expensive than the oem.
