They really have put some great features in this truck. Any idea what trail they are running?

Discuss.

Anybody can explain to me how access spare by lifting the bed floor is a thing? Am I supposed to unload everything if I need to replace the tire?

And why would you have buttons on top of the bed side? no caps for rivian, i guess?

Hack to disable "gear door open - no moving", mount a seat on each side with a machine gun. :)

To be clear, I'm all for technology and it's great to see new companies enter the fray and hopefully drive innovation. This is just more of a "outdoor enthusiast" truck rather than "do anything (including Home Depot runs)" truck

Edit: ...and the Lightning creators thought the frunk situation better - easier access, given how high modern day fronts are.

Yeap, clearly the rock's fault. Almost turned it off watching turds wearing masks driving, turned it off right after blaming that rock for a sidewall hit.

I agree. I'm not a fan of the front-end styling and don't foresee that ever changing.
same here. Neat idea….but just not well-executed.

Man.... I don't know where you wheel....but rock attacks are real. ;)
They got signs all over. :CWL:

Curbs attack in the city too.

I must have missed it. I will rewatch. thanks
At the beginning of the video they start on North Fork Swan trail in Breck CO... I recognize that "chute" any day :) We went down it rather than up... I'd choose the up direction any day over down given that one section of roots is so close when you're leaning

I saw a Rivian out in the wild a few weeks ago. The wheel size looks even bigger in person than in pictures. The truck definitely stood out.

Seeing one in the wild I guess is a benefit of living in otherwise POS California. :LOL:
