No I got my RT1 in late March and it was mostly in the upper 40's and 50's here.
That would be good for Lightning owners for sure. I know that both companies did cold weather testing, I'm not confident that any EV pickup is going to be able to provide 200 miles of usable range in cold weather...
I sold my Lightning and the biggest influence in my decision was efficiency as the smaller physical size of the R1T helps there. My experience was that between 80% - 20% soc my R1T was good for another 30 miles. And with the cold climate here that's a real factor, if I lived further south I'd...
I agree with you guys. Like a lot of Rivian things it's cute but not super functional for me. For duffle bags, tool bags it works well but I prefer using the bed of the truck over the gear tunnel. A slide out on each side might help but the opening is really pretty limited.
The Ford outscores...
Probably at the end of the month. I will be looking to get market pricing for it. As some know I also have a R1T and will be keeping it. Of the two key factors the smaller size of the Rivian appeals to me.
You ride in the Lightning, best full sized truck ever!
And you drive the Rivian, best mid...
Changing "Stereo" to "Surround" and setting the fade to close to this setting yielded the best SQ for us. Changing to Surround helped fill the thin sound from the rear speakers and seemed to add some range and depth to the front speakers.
My previously somewhat sharp criticism of the sound...
So I traded a 2021 F150 in on the Lightning. Imho the 2021 system (not B&O)was better, much better. The system in the Lightning I think is awful. Different music sources require revising the front/rear fade to keep the system listenable for me. After using the Lighting for a couple of days my...
IMHO, they need to. In the R1T Rivian had a conserve setting, which I find myself using 80-90% of the time. It’s worth some useful additional range. And when the cold weather season arrives having an additional 15-25 miles is something I want.
These are just my "Opinions"
Kind of like trying to pick which kid you like more. Both have their Pro's and Con's
Ride - Lighting. Actually it's not that close from a comfort basis
Ride - R1T. Actually it's not that close from a Sporty/Handling basis/feel
Interior - Lightning. I just like the...
