Can a Rivian pickup survive a hard days work?


Of course a "Hard Days Work" is relative.

Very impressive. Price is probably comparable to other trucks in similar configuration.
Make mine a two door rear wheel drive. With 15 of lowering.

 Ya, trees were already felled, limbed, and pretty well ready to load.

I think the farmer said the trees were from a forest fire?

Yup, deadwood from a forest fire that had blown down in a wind storm and blocked the road (just watched the vid now).

I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be, but the price is still high ($77K US as tested).  That said, all trucks are priced too high in my opinion.

Seems like they have some pretty serious software going on, with all the different modes and such.  The adjustable ride height for offroad clearance is neat.

The pocket under the tailgate hinges looks like a place where rust will start, once it collects all the junk that falls down into it and then has salty water running into it, but time will tell.  Rust still needs a starting point in order to take off.  I'm thinking that all this stuff will be improved as these vehicles get some actual customer usage and a number of years pass for problem areas to be identified.  That said, even newer trucks are prone to rust in certain areas, but that doesn't stop people from buying them.

Not a contractor's truck by any means, but not advertised as such either.  Still a niche market vehicle, in my opinion, but probably fine for what 90% of truck owners use them for (going to the mall and picking up stuff at Home Depot).

The styling is still taking some getting used to, but I like it overall.  Looks like a company with a bright future!
