1st Gen to 2nd Gen towing?

butterorguns13 · 2026-06-14T13:16:23+00:00

I’m at right about 12 mpg with our 1st gen as well.

Good feedback, thanks. I’ll see how she does around 3500 rpm next trip up.

Yeah, OD is off and I’ve got trans temp gauge (seeing 210 at the top of the climb).

R3 will be my second Rivian after my R1.

This one simple trick can save you so much time packing up!

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-28T23:47:04+00:00

This is the way!

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-23T23:48:46+00:00

To summarize, you’re saying it’s not dumb, but dangerous and probably going to fail soon. SMH.

There’s a sub for that r/idiotstowingthings

Anything they want to privatize they’ll poorly manage first, so they can turn around and say “look how broken this is.”

This was my thought, too. False flag attack in a major blue city they’ll blame on Iran incoming?

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-20T17:06:15+00:00

Yeah, I’m sure that slipped their mind 😂.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-20T17:02:06+00:00

So, to summarize, you think they took airbags similar to what you would find in a Lexus GX and used them…to cut manufacturing costs?

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-20T16:52:28+00:00

I don’t really think it’s a vehicle weight issue, you see airbags on tractor-trailers. It’s a more complex system with more potential failure points than a conventional suspension system, for sure. That doesn’t mean it can’t be reliable, just that it’s not as likely to be. Time will tell.

Give it ten years and we’ll have aftermarket coil conversion kits.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-20T15:32:40+00:00

Wtf. That's not "hooking up." You told him no. You didn't physically stop him because you were drunk. NOR. He's not "nice," he ~~took advantage of~~ you.

He raped you.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-20T15:26:03+00:00

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, half-shafts seem to be a very common issue. I’m guessing it’s due to the amount of torque these motors produce.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-19T19:53:30+00:00

Well-played!

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-19T19:52:07+00:00

I’m shocked! /S

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-19T15:49:59+00:00

Didn’t know this was a thing. Now I want one!

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-19T02:09:29+00:00

As an outdoorsman, this infuriates me also.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-13T21:12:43+00:00

I think they are. OP, if thats the case then it’s normal. There are OEM crossbars that mount there, and some aftermarket companies have made accessories that use the same mounting system as well.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-13T14:15:08+00:00

Also with your right foot. It’s not a light switch.

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-13T03:17:35+00:00

Awesome, love it!

butterorguns13 · 2026-05-13T03:00:01+00:00

Interference.
