Rivian towing

I am not smart enough to know what this means.

But thought someone might like to discuss it.

Rivian R1T's first real-world towing test shows 62% range loss

The Rivian R1T just began deliveries before 2021’s third quarter ended. Now that owners have had some time with their Rivian pickups, the real-world tests of the features that potential buyers are curious about are beginning. One of the most significant is a real-world towing test to prove range...

OP, what do you not grasp?

if the truck can go say 305 miles on a full charge, loosing 62% 189 miles to towing the 10,000 + pounds gives a range of 115 miles.

This is the biggest reason I won't get an EV truck until I can get 500-600 miles unloaded. No point having to stop every 1.5 hours and wait 30+ minutes to charge up the truck when towing.

Sarcasm. Sorry.

No worries, some may not understand, I hope I wasn’t too rough!

It was perfect.

I think RAM will be ready to beat this.

Honestly...most of my camping is within 100 miles. So the range is not bad...if it can be recharged while camping.

Only problem is...we camp off grid mostly and I hate the sound of a generator...even the quiet ones. So it may pose a challenge.

We do like campers in the 6000lb range...so that might help.
