Rivian R1S

Sitting next to an SUV with that model designation.
Nice looking rig, appears to be in the same chassis as pickup. No plates out.

  • I don't think I've ever seen either model on the road but apparently we now have a local service center. Think the building was a Chrysler/Dodge dealer awhile back.

    Is towing heavy a prerequisite to buy one? Most 1/2 tons just do groceries, soccer games, runs to Lowes and occasional boat hauling.
    I've had trucks for work transportation since 1995. Only stated towing for recreation in 2010 after I retired.

    I mean... this is posted in the TOW VEHICLES sub forum, so it seems like a legitimate question.

  • I see one on the road at least once a week down here near the headquarters.
    Mostly the trucks though.

  • And although the base price of a new R1S is advertised to be $72,500, the least expensive one I could find on a nationwide search was right at $115,000. Just a little cray-cray if you ask me!
