JOIN ME FOR A QUICK 6 HOUR COLORADO TOWING TRIP IN MY RIVIAN R1T!

EV Channels Review

This video documents a six-hour round trip towing a classic Range Rover from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs in a Rivian R1T Launch Edition. The reviewer highlights the R1T's impressive towing capability, noting its smooth ride, strong torque, and well-insulated cabin that makes the trailer almost unnoticeable. Despite the efficiency drop (averaging 1.23 miles/kWh with the Range Rover onboard, down from 1.65 without), the reviewer finds electric towing with the R1T to be a superior experience to combustion vehicles for such trips. Minor issues with the R1T's charge port alignment and a suspension squeak are noted, but overall, the truck is performing well after several thousand miles. The video also touches on the trailer's practicality and minor drawbacks, as well as the charging experience at Electrify America, including a payment hiccup. The Rivian's trip planner and charging performance are generally satisfactory, though the reviewer expresses a desire for plug-and-charge functionality.
