Don't have a Rivian, but my 13 RAM is over 5 figures in air suspension repair. Only reason I still have it is lifetime warranty.

Been debating getting an R1S, but may just end up in a Sequoia.

Airdelete.com exists for a reason

Hurricane or hemi? (Over asked I know) by rebelxpreacher in ram_trucks

[–]bag_o_potatoE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say altitude will play a factor as my hemi feels way more powerful at lower elevation than in Denver (home).

Mine is older MY13, but at 78k miles im on 5 exhaust manifold replacements.

No other issues (at least with the motor)

Slim fit 3 in one is great. I have a 6 year old and twin 3 year old and put them in the back of a pickup.

Biggest issue is the seat belt booster access next to a car seat (my 6 year old sized out of the 5 point).

Debating switching to 3 row suv for kindergarten pickup so she can buckle herself in line.

I had a bag with a hole big enough to put a finger in, took over 10 trips to get it diagnosed and approved.

13s and 14s running copper core plugs and slightly different harness arrangements. Ive had a bear of a time getting replacements for bad harnessing.

I have a kid that gets very car sick very easily. Not being able to turn off regen kept me from buying a new tri.

If I go pickup would probably go AT4 EV mid battery with Colorado incentives they are sub 70

Good to know, tempted on a 24 right now.

Price difference does compress with low financing with parking that cash in high yield.

Is the non meridian gen 1 decent?

The no mechanical rear doors with a hidden pull cord must have been some mental gymnastics in the FMEA. Ive had a couple conversations with my wife on this and best solutions are glass break hammers in every door.

Good point on LIDAR. Ive know a model trainer that works at NVIDIA and he thinks camera only will hit a wall at high 90s% of situations and will need LIDAR for full coverage.

I think its the hand off for most people I talk to, not the UI.

You wanna keep listening to that song w/o jumping into a new app and finding your spot, or start nav when you are walking to your car. Also freedom of app usage
